In a significant turn of events, former FirstRand chairman Roger Jardine has expressed critical views of the African National Congress (ANC), stating that it has irretrievably lost its bearings and has failed to become part of South Africa's agenda. He declared that he could not be trusted to stand up to him. This harsh criticism came as Jardine announced the creation of a new political group. change starts now.
new political force
Change Starts Now seeks to bring about major changes in South Africa's political landscape. It is not just an organization to voice grievances. It has ambitious plans to register as a political party and run for elections in 2024.
The group's official launch will take place in Jardine's hometown of Rivalry, south of Johannesburg.
The end of ANC supremacy?
'Change Starts Now' represents a new wave in South African politics, offering an alternative to the ANC's long-standing dominance.
This group is more than just political opposition. It aims to address the country's pressing problems through a new political platform. Jardine's initiative could end the ANC's dominance and bring much-needed changes to South Africa's political scene.
Looking to the future
As the 2024 election approaches, it is clear that Jardine's move is a bold one. Forming a new political movement and registering a new political party is not an easy task, especially when elections are approaching.
But the creation of Change Starts Now may be just the change South Africa needs. The future of South African politics with Jardine at the helm is interesting to say the least.
