CAPE TOWN - ActionSA said that the Government of National Unity (GNU) had failed to deliver so far, despite claims of increased confidence in the country.
ActionSA's leadership briefed the media on Monday, where the party also announced it had launched a new website to track the GNU's delivery record.
The party also said it had done exceptionally well as an opposition party even with just six MPs in its caucus.

ActionSA chairperson, Michael Beaumont, said the GNU performance tracker was a comprehensive index designed to monitor and hold the coalition government accountable.
It looked at metrics around crime and unemployment, which the party said was moving in the wrong direction.
"As a matter of fact, you will see that this is a trend that continues to move in the wrong direction and we hope deeply that it turns around.
Party chief whip, Lerato Ngobeni, said that the GNU was already showing signs of weakness.
"The GNU seventh administration, however, has already shown signs of falling into the same old patterns, inefficiencies, lack of transparency and failing to be robust in its stance to put South Africans first."
The party said it had also taken up a stronger role as an opposition and offered the middle ground when it came to opposition politics.
