Disgruntled former ActionSA Gauteng leader Bongani Baloyi is the latest member to resign from the party, which is not yet three years old.

[six members were booted out](https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2022-08-10-actionsa-ejects-six-kzn-members-amid-claims-it-has-been-infiltrated/) after it was suspected that they were in cahoots with the ANC. He needs to own up to the fact that he endorsed and approved this,” said Baloyi, who has not revealed any future political plans.

"He (Baloyi) knows very well that Bafana is head of the party's protection and intelligence. "He [Baloyi] misled the national chairperson [Michael Beaumont], saying the Tshwane caucus had agreed with the ANC and the EFF and could get the mayorship or speaker position… When I told him of the irreconcilable difference, I indicated to him where they stemmed from. Devolving more power to the structures means you embark on a journey of democratisation within the party," he said. She complained about unfair practices within the party. Mashaba said that while he had begrudgingly agreed to the party entering into talks with the ANC, as he was "not wanting to be seen to be a dictator", it had been Baloyi who "went ahead and made a back door deal with the ANC".
