Khoza talks of new political ‘home’ formed from a ‘merger’ of parties
Former ANC MP, an outspoken critic of the President, talks of a proposed, new organisation, that will be ‘going for change’
Makhosi Khoza will be leading a new political party, even though she steers away from calling it that. Khoza, a former ANC MP who quit the party in September, told the Daily Maverick event, the Gathering, in Sandton on Thursday that her proposed organisation will be a "merger" of political parties. She said she was approached to assist in leading the merger, describing the formation as "a new political home". Khoza did not specify which parties were involved, but said several ANC members have, over the years, left the party to start their own, especially at local government level. "I think [SA] needs to find a new political model that is going to take into account civil society, and I can tell you now that we are working on that," said Khoza, adding that she was not at liberty to disclose details but that its initiators are "going for change".
