'I will not stop trying to save my country from the ANC' - Thabo Mandila

The future of South Africa hangs in the balance, with many pundits believing the ANC is very likely to be relegated below 50% of the vote in 2024. Rewriting that future then comes down to servant leaders who will do everything within their power to boot what Thabo Mandila calls an "evil organisation" from power. Some may call Mandila a political chameleon, by virtue of having been a member of numerous political parties in his time, including the ANC, but he says "my preoccupation is to save my country. I don't care what people call me. We can't stop trying to save our country because we are afraid of what people will call us." Mandila - President of the Republican Democratic Party (RDP) - tells BizNews’ Michael Appel he has been lobbying opposition parties to form a pre-election coalition because no one party can unseat the ANC. This is a straight-shooting interview in which Mandila holds no punches, and certainly no brief, for anyone. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
