Mashaba Fires Back At Critics Over Coalition Pressure Saying That ‘No One Is His Medicine’

ActionSA leader Herman Mashaba has reportedly responded strongly to critics who have been sending him angry messages and insults following the outcome of the recent local government elections.

Mashaba claims that some people have been putting pressure on him to ensure that ActionSA enters into coalition arrangements exclusively with the Democratic Alliance (DA). He says certain messages have gone as far as suggesting that black-led political parties need the DA to rescue them.

However, the ActionSA leader appears unwilling to be dictated to, making it clear that his party will not allow others to determine its political decisions through intimidation or disrespect.

In a firm response, Mashaba declared that “no one is my medicine”, while warning that he would not show respect to individuals who deliberately disrespect him.

He further emphasised that ActionSA remains open to working with any South Africans who are committed to peaceful cooperation, social justice and treating others with dignity.

His remarks have reignited discussions about coalition politics, political independence and the relationship between ActionSA and the DA following the latest election results.

Mashaba’s position suggests that ActionSA intends to make coalition decisions based on its principles rather than pressure from political commentators or supporters of other parties.
