The CSIR predicts that the proportional representative vote won by ActionSA in Gauteng would make it the 5th largest political party nationally when all votes have been counted and verified. With 87% of votes counted across South Africa, the CSIR predicts ActionSA will end up with 10.2% of votes in Gauteng, which will place it fifth of all parties nationally on 2.5%. That would place it behind the ANC (46.2%), the DA (28.5%), the EFF (10.5%) and the IFP (6%), but ahead of the VFPlus, which is projected to end with 2.3% of the vote nationally. The 2021 Local Government Elections is the first election contested by ActionSA, formed by former Johannesburg mayor Herman Mashaba.
