ActionSA to reach out to Patricia Kopane following resignation from the DA

15 August 2022

Today ActionSA notes the resignation of Patricia Kopane from the Democratic Alliance (DA) both as a party member and a Member of Parliament (MP).

Patricia Kopane boasts an illustrious political career spanning 19 years, having occupied various roles in the DA during this time. A trained health professional; Patricia rose through the ranks of the DA making a name for herself as a leader concerned with the well-being of society and not those of a political party.

Patricia is perhaps best known for serving as DA Provincial Leader of the Free State.

In the past 19 years Patricia has assumed the roles of Political Advisor, Councillor, Whip, Spokesperson and Member of Parliament- a position she held for 13 years.

Patricia has been an asset to the politics of the Free State and is an ethical leader whose skills, experience and background would make her contributions invaluable to ActionSA.

Since Patricia Kopane’s resignation this morning, I have called her and personally signed her up as a member of the party and will set up a meeting with her to explore the open declaration and interest in joining ActionSA and forming a mutual relationship for the benefit of the people of South Africa.

Issued by Herman Mashaba, President, ActionSA, 15 August 2022
