ActionSA KwaZulu-Natal · 2026 local government elections

Clean government.
Real service delivery.
Jobs and dignity for all.

KwaZulu-Natal stands at a crossroads. Years of poor governance, corruption, collapsing infrastructure, water shortages and unemployment have left communities frustrated and without hope. Municipalities have failed to deliver basic services while public funds are wasted through mismanagement and tender abuse. The 2026 local government elections are the opportunity to reset, rebuild and restore. ActionSA is ready to lead that change.

We offer

Four commitments to KwaZulu-Natal

Clean, accountable government

Transparent budgeting, open reporting and zero tolerance for corruption. Every rand must be accounted for.

Functional municipalities

Municipalities that actually deliver: water in the taps, lights on, refuse collected, roads maintained.

Economic growth and job creation

Support for SMMEs, less red tape, local procurement and investment in infrastructure that supports business.

Safe and dignified communities

Municipal Security Units to enforce by-laws, reclaim hijacked buildings, protect infrastructure and support law enforcement.

Build capable municipalities

Insourcing instead of tenders

ActionSA will reduce reliance on tenders and build internal municipal capacity. We will insource security services, infrastructure maintenance and cleaning and waste services. This will cut corruption, improve efficiency and create permanent local jobs.

We will end tender abuse: outsourcing will be minimised where municipalities can deliver internally, all major contracts will be published and corruption will be met with consequences. Public money must serve the people, not politically connected contractors.

Policy commitments

What an ActionSA municipality will do

Fix the water crisis

Reduce water losses, repair leaks, upgrade infrastructure and ensure consistent water supply in all communities.

Infrastructure maintenance first

Prioritise roads, electricity networks, stormwater systems and public facilities through preventative maintenance programmes.

Fair and transparent recruitment

End cadre deployment, introduce merit-based hiring and ensure fair and open recruitment processes.

Professional, accountable government

Performance contracts, published service delivery reports and enforced accountability. Failure will have consequences.

Grow the local economy and create jobs

Support SMMEs, cut red tape, promote local procurement and unlock opportunities in agriculture, tourism, the township economy and industry.

Restore law and order

Municipal Security Units to enforce by-laws, reclaim hijacked buildings, protect infrastructure and support law enforcement.

Lawful migration and community stability

Work with Home Affairs and SAPS, ensure all businesses comply with the law and act against illegal operations. We welcome all who are legally documented and respect South African laws.

Clean governance and transparency

Transparent budgeting, open reporting and zero tolerance for corruption in every municipality we lead.

A new future for KwaZulu-Natal

The time for excuses is over. The time for delivery is now.

On 4 November the people of KwaZulu-Natal can choose: more failure or a government that works. ActionSA is ready to govern. Let's fix KwaZulu-Natal together.
