Herman Mashaba: Breathing fire, preparing to incinerate Joburg Metro's ANC "snakes" who sabotaged him

Loading player...
In the 2016 local elections, successful entrepreneur Herman Mashaba was the surprise victor in the majoral race, after being drafted into politics on a Democratic Alliance ticket. On November 1, he swaps the DA's blue for Action SA's green - standing as the candidate for the political party he founded in the aftermath of his period in office being cut back by internal disputes with the DA. After months of campaigning while his rivals were occupied elsewhere, Mashaba is confident of victory - and says he will be far better prepared this time to deal with the saboteurs who aborted his anti-corruption; pro-efficiency project first time around. This is the first of the BizNews interviews with the three major contenders who hope to secure the mayoral chain in South Africa's biggest and richest city. Learn more about your ad choices.
