And the crowd goes absolutely wild…
Now that’s something you normally here cliché-ridden sports commentators blurt out on occasion, but this time we are talking about what may one day come to be known as a pivotal moment in South Africa’s political landscape.
Yes, in what has been a rather poorly-guarded secret Mmusi Maimane was announced yesterday as the new leader of the Democratic Alliance (DA), and as you can see it went down rather well. Here’s News24:
Maimane is the first black leader of the opposition party that garnered 22.23 percent of the national vote in last year’s elections.
The federal leadership position was contested by Maimane, outgoing federal chair Wilmot James and two other members Adrian Naidoo and Morgan Oliphant.While waiting for the announcement, the crowd had chanted ”Mmusi, Mmusi”.
Good luck sir, we wish you all the best.
