ActionSA has initiated a formal complaint calling for an investigation into Tony Leon's PR firm, Resolve Communications.
In a formal complaint to the Public Protector, ActionSA has asked that Resolve Communications, the PR company founded by former Democratic Alliance (DA) leader Tony Leon, be investigated for allegedly interacting with ministers in the Government of National Unity (GNU).
The complaint, announced on Thursday by ActionSA National Chairperson Michael Beaumont, asks the Public Protector to investigate Resolve Communications' interactions with GNU ministers, as well as "any corresponding decisions or actions taken by those ministers".
The move follows allegations that Resolve Communications facilitated meetings between its clients and several GNU ministers, including a meeting between Elon Musk's Starlink and Minister of Communications and Digital Technologies Solly Malatsi.
ActionSA alleges that Leon later pressured Malatsi over what was described as the slow pace of the government's regulatory response affecting Starlink's interests.
