Axed ActionSA Tshwane leader, Abel Tau plans to fight back after his political career ended when his former party axed him after he was accused of sexual assault by a family friend last year.
ActionSA terminated Tau’s membership in November citing that he had brought the party into disrepute.
Tau claimed that they were people who tried to extort money from him but he refused to divulge details about the amounts involved or who was behind the allegations saying he will reveal all once the infestation has been completed..
He also wants the High court to review and set aside the decision to cancel his membership despite having no intentions of going back, calling it a fight for “principle”.
“So basically what happens immediately is that if that decision is found to be irrational and set aside as much as it reinstates me but there is immediately a clause that if you have political announced (an) interest to leave the party then politically you have resigned.
“In essence I would have resigned today from the expulsion that they would have had. And to many it might be a semantics but it is not, it is a matter of principle,” said Tau.
On Tuesday, Tau announced his newly formed political party in Mamelodi – the United African Transformation and said he plans to contest the national election in five provinces.
Tau resigned from the DA on July 31 2020 when he joined ActionSA’s people dialogue decrying racism in the opposition party.
He has now launched a political party and is planning a fight back campaign by going after the people who ended his political career at ActionSA.
