# Five years ago today, under a Covid-19 hard lockdown, ActionSA was launched during a live studio broadcast from Auckland Park. ActionSA president, Herman Mashaba says the party was born out of The People’s Dialogue, an online engagement with South Africans in response to a public call for a new party grounded in principle and shared values. He says ActionSA’s parliamentary team has already introduced bold legislation, with further proposals in the pipeline. These include constitutional amendments to abolish deputy ministers and strengthen accountability, and cut the rampant waste of ministerial expenditure.
