BNC#5: Mashaba’s Q&A on Coalition politics; McKenzie’s assertions; Ejecting the ANC in 2024 and more

Herman Mashaba is at his best when cruising off-piste, fielding difficult questions. He had quite a few to navigate during the interview and audience engagement section of his keynote at the 5th BizNews Conference in the Drakensberg, held in March 2023. Mashaba began with a glowing endorsement of political rival Gayton McKenzie’s ‘true and riveting’ keynote address before on to a wide range of topics including how his creation, Action SA, intends playing a significant role in South Africa’s future – as either its biggest or #2 political party.
