Mashaba Returns to Fix Johannesburg | Johannesburg News

Herman Mashaba, once ousted from Johannesburg mayorship in 2019 for refusing to compromise his principles, is back in the race — vowing to finish what he started. He stepped down then not because of failure, but because his own party sought to sideline him for political gain. Now running again with ActionSA, he’s facing stiff competition from Zille, Baloyi, and Kunene, but insists he’s the only one who truly governed for all residents — halting corruption, stabilizing finances, and repairing infrastructure. If elected, his five priorities? Fixing services, ending graft, restoring safety, boosting jobs through investment, and ensuring dignity for every citizen. Johannesburg, he says, has had enough of political theater — it’s time to “finish the job.” Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
