Mmusi Maimane - Prophet Or Puppet?

In the afternoon of May 10, 2015, Mmusi Maimane was announced as the new leader of the Democratic Alliance, beating his opponent by a huge margin. It was an historic event because it marked the completion of the DAs transformation from a white political party to one whose new leader shared similar experiences to those of the majority of voters. Thus a highly intelligent and charismatic young man is thrust onto centre stage. But who is the real Mmusi Maimane? Experienced political reporter SThembiso Msomi goes behind the scenes to examine how and why Maimane rose to head up the opposition. He delves into Maimanes formative years, his time at the pulpit in the church, and his family, to bring substance to the man. Softcover. English. Jonathan Ball. 2016.
