General Bantu Holomisa has been front and centre in some of the greatest changes and events in South African politics since his early days in the Eastern Cape to currently celebrating 20 years of the United Democratic Movement (UDM). As he mentions to Gareth in this interview, “We might not be in power, but we possess power.” Find out how he’s worked with the likes of Nelson Mandela, his relationship with social media and why he calls the Guptas a “wake-up call”. Holomisa does not hold back when it comes to discussing the work that lies ahead for the new president of the Republic, why he thinks it’s so hard for other people to leave the ANC, and the future of the UDM. Discover the story of the great man here.
