President of #ActionSA, Herman Mashaba is delivering the party’s vision ahead of the State of the Nation address on Thursday.

#ActionSA Mashaba says the second most important thing that is required for the country to work is to unseat the ANC. He says this needs to be emphasised.

#ActionSA Mashaba says his party has written to all political parties to come together in a common goal to unseat the ANC.
