Herman Mashaba: Published polls are a joke - Action SA will be #1 or #2 in 2024, helped by thousands of newly registered voters

The founder and leader of Action SA is confident his party will benefit hugely from a silent revolution among 'gatvol' South Africans who had previously never bothered to become registered voters. Herman Mashaba says his party's army of volunteers is helping thousands of previously apathetic citizens sign up - a factor he says is ignored in recent polls which rates the party's national support in low single digits. As evidence, he cites the 10% ActionSA polled in a recent by-election in rural Limpopo despite only entering the contest two months before the vote. The successful entrepreneur turned politician says the party has spread nationwide by drawing on the distribution strategy used to build his hugely successful BlackLikeMe business.
