ActionSA member dies in car crash

ActionSA said it was saddened by the death of Xolani Nala, who had only joined the party on 10 May 2022.

Nala, a former Democratic Alliance (DA) ward councillor in eThekwini, died in a car accident on Sunday morning.

“Nala succumbed to his injuries at the scene,” ActionSA said in a statement.

“ActionSA conveys condolences to the entire Nala family, the community of eThekwini, and eShowe, where Nala was born and bred,” the party added.

The party said it had high hopes for Nala.

“ActionSA was looking forward to working with a young man who had taken it upon himself to not give up on his country but rather join forces with like-minded people in a bid to ultimately fix South Africa.”
