JOHANNESBURG - Former DA leader Mmusi Maimane says South Africa needs something new because politicians aren't always accountable.
He says their main priority isn't always the interests of the people.
“When I came into politics the number one priority was to build an inclusive South Africa for all. I didn't go into politics because I was looking for a career.”
Maimane added that his main priority remains to build an inclusive South Africa for all.
He says this has always been his driving force, but the DA seems to be headed in another direction.
