Former Mayor Dr Mpho Phalatse: 'Corrupt' ANC already back to old ways in Joburg, enabled by 8-seat turncoats

The DA's Joburg leader Dr Mpho Phalatse has gone from medic to politician and from leading the opposition in SA's biggest city to becoming its Mayor - and then being controversially deposed after an ally with 8 seats in the 270 seat Council switched sides. In this frank interview with Alec Hogg of BizNews, the reluctant politician explains why she is now fighting tooth and nail to prevent a return of the 'corrupt' ANC to its old ways, but fears the plundering of Joburg has already started. Phalatse unpacks events of a turbulent year and explains that she's still working behind the scenes to get back the Mayoral chains. In the process, she also provides insights into the kind of challenges SA is likely to face after the 2024 National Election when political coalitions will become the norm.
