‘I’m ready to be President’ - SA politics disruptor-in-chief Mmusi Maimane expects prominent role after 2024

Loading player...
However the chips fall during SA's watershed 2024 National Election, the founder of One South Africa Movement, a community-driven, activist organisation, expects to play a prominent role in the likely new ruling coalition. Perhaps even as the country's President. In this fascinating interview, Mmusi Maimane shares how he is helping, Macron-style, to disrupt local politics and offers some suggestions on where it may be headed, The former Leader of SA's Official Opposition also explains why he believes his homeland will follow the same path as the previously inconceivable political transition which swept his friend HH Hichelema to Presidential victory in Zambia. After a shock by-election win in the Eastern Cape by a Maimane-supported independent candidate, his vision of a massive political disruption is no longer in the realms of science fiction - for many it is already appearing to be science fact.
