I want to experience Vision 2029 - we must get Gauteng Blue. "Two days from now, the DA will launch its Vision 2029 here in Gauteng, in Soweto. This is a blueprint for the type of society we intend to build, based on our three core values of Freedom, Fairness and Opportunity for all South Africans.

It is a huge task, but our immediate next step is the 2016 Local Government Elections. Following last year’s elections, three new metros are in play for the DA: Nelson Mandela Bay, Tshwane and Johannesburg. Winning one or more of these metros will propel us towards 2019 with enormous momentum." Mmusi Maimane MP, during a panel discussion at The Gathering hosted by the Daily Maverick at Vodawold.

We can even blame Jan van Riebeeck. But in our hearts, we know what the problem is. We have allowed those in power to become bigger than our institutions, breaking them down bit by bit. We have allowed one powerful man to get away with too much for too long. This man is here in our presence today." Mmusi Maimane

"Because, if we are to succeed as a nation, we need to start believing in the power of human agency. We need to resurrect the idea that the choices we make, and the actions we take, matter." Mmusi Maimane

Extract from Mmusi Maimane's speech delivered during the State of the Nation Address Debate:
"Madam Speaker, change may seem slow, but it is coming. There is a swell starting to build and, when the wave crashes, it will sweep this broken man out of power. When that happens, we will be there to start fixing this broken society, and unleash the potential of South Africans."
