Herman Mashaba Predicts ANC and DA Decline in Strong Criticism of Both Parties

Mashaba Says ANC and DA Have No Future in South African Politics

ActionSA leader Herman Mashaba has launched a strong criticism of the African National Congress (ANC) and the Democratic Alliance (DA), expressing his belief that neither party represents the future of South African politics.

Mashaba shared his views while responding to a social media post about growing public dissatisfaction with political parties and recent developments in the City of Tshwane.

The original post referred to an individual who had reportedly withdrawn from politics more than a year ago. The person believed that the ANC would continue to maintain its dominance in townships, while the DA would retain strong support in suburban areas.

However, the author suggested that recent developments in Tshwane had reinforced these concerns, particularly allegations of questionable political tactics and dishonesty involving the DA.

In his response, Mashaba expressed confidence that both established political parties would eventually lose their influence in South Africa.

“I can assure you. Both those political parties will never be the future of South Africa,” he stated.

The ActionSA leader also criticised the parties, accusing the ANC of widespread corruption and describing the DA as racist. His remarks reflect his opposition to both organisations and their continued influence on the country’s political landscape.

Mashaba further declared that the two parties were heading towards political irrelevance, saying they were on their way to the “dustbins of South African history.”

His comments come amid ongoing discussions about the performance, credibility and future of South Africa’s major political parties. The ANC has governed the country nationally since the introduction of democratic rule in 1994, while the DA has established itself as the main opposition party and has governed the Western Cape and several municipalities.

Tshwane remains an important political battleground, where coalition disagreements, governance challenges and disputes over municipal leadership frequently attract public attention.

Mashaba’s remarks add to the growing debate about whether established political parties can maintain public confidence as voters increasingly demand accountability, effective service delivery and ethical leadership.

Nevertheless, his prediction that the ANC and DA will eventually lose their political influence remains his personal assessment rather than a confirmed outcome. Both parties continue to participate in elections and seek support from voters across the country.

As political competition continues to evolve, it remains uncertain whether growing public dissatisfaction will significantly reshape South Africa’s political landscape.
