ActionSA’s bold move: Welcoming Dion George amidst DA tensions
January 27, 2026
|The Star
ACTIONSA says the door is open for former Democratic Alliance (DA) member and minister of Environment, Forestry and Fisheries, Dr Dion George to join the party, but George says he has not yet decided on his political future after dumping the blue party.
George has dismissed allegations that he misused public funds, exploited departmental information for party-political purposes and brought the DA into disrepute.
He said his lawyers are engaging with the party over the matter.
Speaking to JOL News, George said he has not joined another political party since quitting the DA earlier this month.
“T have not joined another political party. I've not given that much thought yet. My legal team is currently engaging with the DA,” he said.
ActionSA, led by Herman Mashaba, confirmed that the door is open to welcome new members, including George.
George also stepped down as the DAS federal chairperson of finance, saying he was forced out after being removed from Cabinet in November 2025.
He said his political fate was sealed when the party asked for his dismissal as minister.
