Former BOSA Member of the Provincial Legislature Ayanda Allie has joined ActionSA, according to recent reports (news.google.com). The move comes amid a dispute over party tithing, as ActionSA leader Herman Mashaba stated that Allie will not be required to pay the party’s levy while working within the organization (iol.co.za). Mashaba emphasized that any future contributions will depend on whether Allie holds a public office.
Allie, who was previously associated with BOSA, has been described by Mashaba as a key figure in the party’s Gauteng elections campaign. He claimed that Allie’s talents were underutilized by BOSA, which failed to recognize her potential (sundayworld.co.za). Mashaba also expressed confidence in Allie’s political future, stating that he had been considering her as a potential ally since 2025.
The transition from BOSA to ActionSA marks a significant shift in Allie’s political career. While the exact terms of her new role remain unclear, her appointment as the party’s Gauteng elections ambassador signals a strategic move for ActionSA. The tithing issue, however, highlights ongoing tensions between party membership and financial obligations in South African politics.
