Interim National Chairperson of @Action4SA, Author and Proud South African. Bots enter at own risk.

Tomorrow, ActionSA launches “the Tale of Tshwane”.

We will unpack the successes of Mayor Nasiphi Moya’s time in office, and lay out a compelling case as to why she needs #5MoreYears 🗳️🇿🇦

[Michael Beaumont @ME_Beaumont]

@markrosslee We should just be subjected to frivolous litigation and rollover in your mind? Its like did my back assault your knife? Be serious.

[Michael Beaumont @ME_Beaumont]

Today, ActionSA will demonstrate the cynical nature of the DA's case before the Electoral Court.

This is a party that has run out of ideas, and instead of trying to win over voters who don't trust them, they simply plan to disenfranchise them.

[Michael Beaumont @ME_Beaumont]

@saltychi Keep your respect.

[Michael Beaumont @ME_Beaumont]

ActionSA's legal team is prepared to teach the DA a lesson that we will not be bullied by a party that wants to win elections against the will of the South African people.

[Michael Beaumont @ME_Beaumont]

@MaddiebHicklin Did you watch your party's case being skewered? That was pretty funny.

[Michael Beaumont @ME_Beaumont]

The IRR is a joke, and their feeble attempt to extort ActionSA with their modest social media following is a punchline.

ActionSA does not need help establishing a compact with the South African people and, if we did, the IRR would be the last organisation we would engage.

Voetsek.

@Watchdog4SA That your vote translates into representation

[Michael Beaumont @ME_Beaumont]

That is the difference between a mayoral candidate rooted in Joburg versus one who is a tourist from Cape Town.

Herman Mashaba will not give up and move back to Cape Town if fixing Joburg requires him to work in a complex, messy coalition.

[Daily Maverick @dailymaverick]

Zille to ‘go into opposition’ if DA doesn’t win a workable coalition in Joburg https://t.co/qAT2nIPpZH

[Michael Beaumont @ME_Beaumont]

With electoral court proceedings about to kick off at 14:00, ActionSA's legal team is ready and waiting.

[Michael Beaumont @ME_Beaumont]

A few weeks ago, I was in the Eastern Cape canvassing the support of former ANC voters when the DA delivered their anti-democratic challenge before the Electoral Court.

Today, we settle this case. One party winning new support, the other trying to disenfranchise South Africans.

[Michael Beaumont @ME_Beaumont]

The DA is taking parties to the Electoral Court today for something it does itself.

If this is not the definition of hypocrisy...

Our lawyers are ready to dismantle this case.

[Michael Beaumont @ME_Beaumont]

@Nate5enb Dude they are taking us to court. Should I discuss the IFP when the DA takes us to court? Dude?

[Michael Beaumont @ME_Beaumont]

Well this is awkward... the GNU Government, represented by the Minister of COGTA, is opposing the DA's Electoral Court application and calling the DA out for their shocking abuse of the legal process.

[Michael Beaumont @ME_Beaumont]

@Whitesurfer5 Okay...

[Michael Beaumont @ME_Beaumont]

@Life_Skil Well, as long as you say so...

[Michael Beaumont @ME_Beaumont]

@snav06 "Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people."

What do you think is the appropriate description for a mind that focuses on someone's clothing?

[Michael Beaumont @ME_Beaumont]

The DA has rushed to the Electoral Court mere weeks before the election to disenfranchise voters, despite holding the levers of power to amend regulations that govern the submission of PR lists for years.

ActionSA will fiercely oppose this before the Electoral Court today.

[Michael Beaumont @ME_Beaumont]

In 2016 the DA actually offered that another political party could supplement the DA's PR list using the same provision they are challenging in the Electoral Court today.

This is what hypocrisy looks like.

[Michael Beaumont @ME_Beaumont]

The DA is confused.

It has taken ActionSA and others to the Electoral Court today for submitting PR lists with one candidate, whilst doing the same.

Today they will be taken to the woodshed.
