Action SA gathering momentum - Herman Mashaba on by-election results, coalitions and ejecting the ANC in 2024

Loading player...
Successful entrepreneur turned political leader Herman Mashaba is hard at work building structures and putting together the personnel to make Action SA a major force in South Africa's 2024 National Election. The party has appointed provincial leaders in six of the country's nine provinces and promises to fill the other three posts by yearend. Mashaba says results of the three by-elections it has contested since its surprising strong showing in the November 2021 Local Elections support the assertion that his party is gathering momentum. During this interview with Alec Hogg of Biznews, the unlikely politician explains his approach to other political parties that are likely to be allies in ruling coalitions and shares how he sees the transformation of SA's political landscape after the ANC's expected loss of power in the 2024's National Election.
