ActionSA parts ways with Makhosi Khoza for bringing party into disrepute
ActionSA’s Senate has terminated Dr Makhosi Khoza's membership, with immediate effect, for bringing the party into disrepute.
In a statement on Tuesday, the party said Khoza deliberately acted in a way that negatively impacted the party and it accused her of causing disunity in the party.
Khoza’s fate was decided on Monday after ActionSA’s Senate resolved to terminate her membership on the recommendations of its Ethics and Disciplinary Committee, following a series of public outbursts in January.
A disciplinary panel was convened, chaired by former Acting Judge in the High Court Advocate Gill Benson and prosecuted by ActionSA’s Western Cape provincial chairperson Vytjie Mentor.
“There is no reasonable explanation for her continued abuse of the party, which she purports to promote. As a high-standing member of the party, she disregards the reputational damage to the party, for apparent publicity and self-gain. Her loyalties do not lie with ActionSA and instead, lie with aspiring to grow her own political aspirations, at the great cost of her constituency and ActionSA,” the Disciplinary Report read.
The panel said it also saw evidence that demonstrated communication with ringleaders of a group of dismissed members from Soweto who had previously been found to have acted to deliberately destabilise the party.
Khoza and the Soweto group were found to be “plotting to deal with” ActionSA leader Herman Mashaba.
It remains to be seen if Khoza will challenge the 24-page report compiled by the party’s disciplinary panel.
ActionSA said it holds no ill-will towards Khoza.
“While her actions may not have been excusable, Dr Khoza remains an individual who has played an important role in South African politics. We wish Dr Khoza well in her future endeavours outside of ActionSA,” the party concluded.
