Former Chairperson of the Congress of Traditional Leaders of South Africa in Limpopo, Kgoshi Letsiri Phaahla has been announced as ActionSA premier candidate for Limpopo.
Phaahla quit Contralesa last year after accusing it of being an extension of the African National Congress (ANC).
He is the fourth premier candidate to be announced by Herman Mashaba, who has already pronounced on Zwakhele Mngwango for KwaZulu-Natal, Kwena Mangope for the North West and Andrew Louw in the Northern Cape.
Mashaba said he hopes more traditional leaders will join his movement to provide South Africans with the government they deserve.
“Not to really look at the short-term gains of getting the stipends and a compromise by actually leading society, our communities in the rural areas are looking at them for leadership.”
Phaahla thanked ActionSA for entrusting him with the role of leading the party’s election campaign in the province.
“I would like to thank you for the trust you have in me in leading the campaign in Limpopo. And equally so very hopeful that whatever throughput to be comprehended during my tenure at the helm of this campaign shall usher in the new epoch in advancement of ActionSA’s non-negotiable call to fix this country,” he said.
And present an unconstrained hope in representing those in the periphery of a sprouting national discourse under the ANC rule and organisation that is full of feeble personalities, deficient in insight and political vision and lacking foresight in leading this country to its desired and God-ordained destination.”
