ActionSA’s Central Candidate Selection Committee (CSC) will meet on Monday, 16 February 2026, to finalise its choice of a mayoral candidate for Johannesburg. The announcement of the party’s official candidate is scheduled for Saturday, 21 February 2026.
This selection follows a rigorous vetting and consultation process, which included interviews, presentations of turnaround plans for the city, and security clearance. The committee’s focus is on identifying a candidate capable of leading a complex coalition government and addressing Johannesburg’s chronic service delivery challenges, which have persisted under previous mayors from the ANC, DA, and smaller parties.
