JOHANNESBURG – Mmusi Maimane launched his new political party Build One SA (Bosa) on Saturday in Naledi, Soweto.
The founder of the One South Africa Movement and former DA leader promised an excited crowd change at the event in Soweto.
He ran through the failures of the current government, citing record levels of unemployment, the energy crisis, and crises in sectors like education and healthcare.
New political formation Build One SA will change the landscape of South Africa come the 2024 national elections, said its leader Mmusi Maimane.
The former Democratic Alliance (DA) leader launched Build One SA (BOSA) in Naledi, Soweto, on Saturday.
In a speech accompanied by ululations, Maimane said all provinces had representatives at the event.
“I am child of this country that produces great leaders and when people said they will die in 1994 there was a God who said ‘no, things are going to change’. And I am here to tell you post 1994, do not worry, do not panic because this country will produce new stars… that’s why we are here.”
Although his audience was smaller than usually seen at political gatherings of this nature, Maimane spoke of big plans.
Maimane’s vision for Bosa stemmed from the One South Africa Movement, an organisation he launched after he resigned from the DA in 2019.
The political party will unite independent candidates under an umbrella organisation to contest the 2024 elections.
The One South Africa Movement did the same in the 2021 municipal elections.
Several community-based associations under this organisation saw independent candidates elected as councillors in various municipalities across the country.
Bosa plans to do the same but in Parliament.
