People trusted the ANC like I did - and now they are gatvol! - ActionSA founder Herman Mashaba

Against all odds, Zambian opposition leader Hakainde Hichilema won the national election in Zambia in a landslide victory against incumbent President Edgar Lungu. Hichilema, known as HH, failed to win the presidency on five previous attempts. Zambia became Africa’s first pandemic-era sovereign defaulter in November when it stopped paying interest on its Eurobonds and other loans. Hichilema’s surprise victory by almost 1 million votes with nearly 60% support is a clear sign that Zambia’s citizens are in desperate need of change and prosperity - promises which secured Hichilema’s ultimate rise to power. In light of this victory, BizNews founder Alec Hogg caught up with ActionSA founder Herman Mashaba - an underdog that many South Africans hope might be this country’s saving grace. Regarding President Ramaphosa’s recent cabinet reshuffle Mashaba called a spade a spade saying that, ‘he's demonstrated beyond any reasonable doubt that his preference and his agenda is the unity of the ANC ahead of South Africans. He's demonstrated [this] with the recycling of his cabinet after the insurrection.’ Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
