He is adamant that he, unlike former Johannesburg mayor Herman Mashaba, is not interested in starting a party but a civic movement.
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.
Maimane and Mashaba quit the DA in 2019, with the latter going on to start the People’s Dialogue and announcing this week that the work was done, and he was ready to launch his own political party. Mashaba has managed to draw numerous former leaders of the DA, including CEO Paul Boughey and head of campaigns Jonathan Moakes.
The former DA federal leader said his was an effort that was centred on a deep sense of activism, which recognised that people would not agree on everything, but on a series of values.
