Picture: Build One South Africa Former Build One South Africa (Bosa) Gauteng leader, Ayanda Allie, says she was expelled by her former party because of a dispute over money. Last week, Bosa confirmed that it had expelled Allie after a disciplinary process that began last year.

“The Board of Build One South Africa (Bosa) has resolved to terminate the membership of Ms Ayanda Allie, Bosa’s Member of the Gauteng Provincial Legislature, following the conclusion of an internal disciplinary process. “The issues giving rise to these proceedings have been under consideration for more than a year, since Bosa first indicated its intention to institute disciplinary proceedings in July 2025,” said Bosa board chairperson Stevens Mokgalapa. Explaining her exit over the weekend, Allie alleged that the party initially wanted her to give away one month’s salary as a donation to the party once a year.

According to Allie, the policy was revised to remove the full month’s contribution and adjust the monthly amount to 10% of her net salary. She said she accepted this arrangement. “However, furtherissues emergedwhen I was informed that legislative funds meant for travel and constituency work would not be made available for me to fulfil my constitutional obligations.

“As a result, I withheld the party levy from Bosa and instead used the resources to support the legislative and party-political community initiatives for which I took an oath,” she alleged. During mediation efforts, Allie was allegedly told that funds for constituency work would be made available to her, but tensions now arose because she was told to back pay the party levy.
