Helen Zille calls 'Hokaai' on SA optimism post-2024: Nelson Mandela Bay an example of political chaos that may await

Loading player...
Iron Lady of SA Politics, Helen Zille, has sounded a warning on growing blind optimism of South Africa post-ANC rule - ie what awaits after the 2024 National Election where the ANC is likely to lose control of a Parliament it has governed for 28 years. While Zille says the DA is working hard to bring the ANC to well under 50% of the national vote, she warns that this on its own is not a panacea. She says the experience in Nelson Mandela Bay, where nine tiny parties hold the balance of power, is a warning. In this wide-ranging interview with Alec Hogg of BizNews, Zille also discusses recent by-election results; Dr Frans Cronje's insights into how opposition parties could recruit disaffected ANC voters, and the UK's three year ban on Bain and Co over its role in South African State Capture.
