The party believes that the South African youth should honour the legacy of those who died in 1976 by registering to vote in the upcoming 2024 elections.
According to Mashaba, the political party aims to bring the youth back to the voting poll in order to bring a peaceful transition and change in the 2024 general elections
“We are here at Thokoza Park to launch the voter registration drive after starting at the Hector Peterson Museum to do the wreath laying.
“Today we decided to launch the campaign here in Soweto and in the next few weeks and months we will be taking the campaign throughout the country,” said Mashaba
He added that one thing ActionSA has realised is that the youth of this country has been the biggest casualties in the 29 years of mismanagement as well as corruption and that has led to young people not using their democratic right to vote.
Hundreds of new voters were allowed to register with the aim that in the 2024 general elections they will use their South African democratic right to vote.

“2024 will be the first time I vote. I am so glad that the ActionSA campaign has given us as a youth a platform to have a voice so that we can be able to speak for ourselves and fight for what we believe has a good impact on our lives,” said a newly registered voter, Lebohang Mathebula.
Mathebula added that the system that rules South Africa has failed the youth, everything revolves around corruption and good things only happen to those who are wealthy.
