Lerato Mbele speaks to Political Analyst, Khanyi Magubane and MD of PR Power House, Lebo Madiba. In the world of politics, the art of effective communication and strategic campaigning can make all the difference between victory and defeat.

In the context of the 29 May elections and ongoing political party campaigning, discuss crafting an elections campaign and the associated messaging that goes with campaigns. What goes into a good elections campaign? For an election campaign manager, what informs how a campaign unfolds, strategy decisions, reflect on "tried-and-true tips" and tricks that have helped electoral campaigns make a difference in the long run and maximize their impact on the ground.

The View of The Nation: The Craft of Electoral Campaigns

Lerato Mbele speaks to Action SA President, Herman Mashaba. 

ActionSA was formed in August 2020 by the former Mayor of Johannesburg, Herman Mashaba, to change the direction of South Africa by providing a credible alternative to a broken political system that has failed South Africans for many years since the dawn of South Africa’s democracy. The party’s foundations are grounded in The People’s Dialogue, a 9-month public engagement process which solicited the views of 2.4 million South Africans about the future of their country. Their focus is on Action that moves South Africa forward Herman Mashaba, President, ActionSA

from an era of broken promises, corruption and failed government. And believe that citizens have an opportunity to turn around the decay in our country and restore the country to a path of prosperity by removing the ruling party at the ballot box on the 29th of May and that their pragmatic policies will help achieve true freedom in the country by creating millions of new jobs, expanding social grants, restoring the rule of law and securing the country’s borders.
