Maimane moves to clarify his movement, calls on South Africans to come on board
6 March 2020
Former DA leader Mmusi Maimane has moved swiftly to clarify his new organisation, the One South Africa movement.
He is adamant that he, unlike former Johannesburg mayor Herman Mashaba, is not interested in starting a party but a civic movement.
On Friday, Maimane tweeted a short video explaining what his movement was about.
He said the issue with political parties was that they were self-interested and chose their own people who were then expected to be voted for by an electorate that did not know them.
