JOHANNESBURG - ActionSA has terminated Abel Tau's membership.
This was over allegations that he allegedly coerced a municipal employee into a sexual relationship with him.
An internal party disciplinary panel met and decided that charges relating to alleged criminal conduct would be more appropriately dealt with in the courts.
In a statement, Action SA says positions of power in the party are entrusted responsibilities to leaders that can never be abused for sexual advances or to subjugate women.
