Former DA leader Mmusi Maimane to start a new political party, although he hasn't revealed more details about the party but they will be a party and the details will be revealed when the time is right.

Maimane made it very clear that he is not retiring from politics anytime soon and indeed he is working on forming a new political party. He said through his new party he would drive the redress imbalances agenda which according to him were rejected in his former political home which was the DA.

Maimane said he resigned from DA because of the differences between him and certain leaders made it difficult for him to continue leading the party. Maimane resigned few hours apart from Herman Mashaba who was the Johannesburg mayor soon after Helen Zille was elected as federal Council chairperson, a position that is considered to be crucial in driving the party.

A  lot of people say they were expecting Maimane to start his political party after his departure from the DA.

The question now is does he have what it takes to start a new political party?

Political analyst Professor Somadoda Fikeni saif Maimane's new party could make it to Parliament as only 40 000 votes were required. Fikene said Maimane surely has a national profile therefore he would be able to expand and have an impact.

Mmusi Maimane says he remains part of the country's politics because he loves this country and loves the Vision that he has articulated of the non-racial South Africa.
