## Resource

In this conversation, SMWX sits down with Build One South Africa leader Dr Mmusi Maimane to discuss Unite for Change, BOSA’s merger with the People’s Prosperity Movement, and what opposition politics in South Africa could look like ahead of 2029. Maimane reflects on coalition politics, leadership, the DA’s federal congress, Geordin Hill-Lewis, and whether South Africa needs a new centrist political alternative. The discussion also explores governance, coalition-building, the future of the GNU, and the big questions facing Johannesburg ahead of the next local government elections.
