Mashaba backs Maimane
30 April 2015
Celebrated entrepreneur and Black Like Me founder Herman Mashaba has publicly endorsed Mmusi Maimane’s candidacy for DA Federal Leader.
Mr Mashaba had this to say about Maimane:
“As a member of the Democratic Alliance, I endorse Mmusi Maimane’s bid for leadership of the DA. Leadership is about commitment to the party and the nation. In all the years I have known Mmusi, he has demonstrated his keen allegiance to the country and its people. He has pledged himself to developing entrepreneurship and job creation, which are the key drivers of economic success.
Maimane’s bid for leadership comes at a time when leadership in South Africa is sorely lacking. I offer my full support to his bid, confident that his vision is aligned with the values enshrined in our Constitution, namely a non-racial, non-sexist, free society. I believe that he will strengthen the party and will be a great asset to rebuilding a nation that every South African can enjoy living in.”
