Athol Trollip had a lengthy and accomplished career in public service. He is a former DA Chairperson and Amathole District Municipality executive member.
The Executive Mayor of Nelson Mandela Metropolitan Municipality is also the parliamentary leader of the official opposition in the Eastern Cape Provincial Legislature and National Assembly.
His significant agricultural experience includes working as a student farmer abroad and serving as head of the Bedford Farmers Association and executive director of the defunct Eastern Province Agricultural Union.
Trollip had 15 years of active participation in the Agricultural and Land Reform Portfolio Committees, as reported by ActionSA.
Netizens were delighted with ActionSA’s choice of MP’s.
@WalterMfana said SA needs such leaders:
“Thanks, Leadership We wish them the best and hope they will represent us very well in Parliament and Legislatures. …at least We can Peacefully sleep now. ANC is at 40%.. their arrogance is Over Now “
@TiroMokoditoa also chimed in with his favourite:
“I’m very happy for Dereleen James. She deserves to be in Parliament as she’s been a strong and determined community activist. All the best to all of them.”
@RhuNdimande commented:
SA doesn’t need career parliamentarians and mere politicians but qualified individuals, experts in various fields, and think tanks. Well, you’re done, @Action4SA. You’ve led by example.
@LwandleMgudlwa expressed happiness with the list:
“This is what we want as South Africans. Hold each other accountable, deliver to our fellow citizens, and end the circus!!”
