JOHANNESBURG – Action SA has announced that it will sue President Cyril Ramaphosa and the ministers of the security cluster for destruction of property and widespread looting in Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal.

Leader Herman Mashaba has said his party will pursue a groundbreaking legal action against the government for its failure to ensure proper law enforcement and the protection of lives, property and livelihoods.

The party called on those whose property and businesses have been affected to come forward.

Mashaba said they are finally seeking to hold the ruling party to account for its poor governance.

“We will compile a test case of the South African legal system in which we will jointly and severally sue the ANC, the president, the minister of police and all ministers of the security cluster for loss and damage to property.”
