New DA Leader Mmusi Maimane's tells Tim Modise his plan to fix SA

At 34, Mmusi Maimane, new Leader of the Democratic Alliance, SA's Official Opposition, has time on his side. He also ticks all the right boxes on personal education, is highly articulate and has presence. As importantly in South Africa's young democracy, he is from precisely the right demographic (Tswana father, Xhosa mother) that will appeal to many disaffected by the "Zulu-fication" of the ruling ANC. Maimane also has a clear grasp on what is required to integrate a modern economy into the global arena. But he leads a political force that's struggling to throw off its own racial stereotype. In this in-depth interview, his first since being appointed as the DA's Leader, Maimane talks to Tim Modise about his immediate challenges - and how he intends accelerating his party's growing momentum.
