The Electoral Court has ordered the Electoral Commission to file its opposing papers by Tuesday after ActionSA’s bid to have its name added to the ballot papers to be used for the November 1 local government elections.

ActionSA leader Herman Mashaba says his party is the "vaccine" SA needs to recover from the "virus" that is the ANC.

Should politicians be accountable for promises made or are empty promises part of the game of politics?

ActionSA leader Herman Mashaba has vowed to beat the African National Congress (ANC) at the upcoming polls – comparing the governing party to a “27-year-old virus”.

The party will be submitting a review application on an urgent basis to set aside the IEC’s latest decision to exclude its name from a section of the ballot paper reserved for party acronyms.

ActionSA is now seeking an order that all printed ballot papers be destroyed.

"The report should have immediately been followed by the very public and embarrassing arrests of those involved," said Mashaba.

Political newcomers ActionSA have taken their ongoing battle with the IEC to the Electoral Court.

Only the partys logo appears on the ballot, with the IEC saying that this was because ActionSA wrote not applicable when asked to provide an acronym or abbreviation of its name.

ActionSA in KwaZulu-Natal has launched an investigation into one of its own.
