Episode 68 ATHOL TROLLIP IS JOINING ACTIONSA. WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?

This week ActionSA will reveal that former Democratic Alliance
leader Athol Trollip will be joining the party founded by fellow
former DA leader Herman Mashaba. I can confirm that this is the
news which the party has been
coy and playful about on social media, ahead of a press
conference on Wednesday 9th February.

In this episode of In The Ring With Eusebius, I take a close look
at the implications of this development. Will this move
strengthen the new party? How might it impact the party's
prospects come 2024? What, too, of differences between Trollip,
Mashaba and other leaders like former Midvaal Mayor Bongani
Baloyi who recently joined ActionSA also? And, crucially, what
challenges must Action SA be aware of and address if it truly
wants to play a serious role in dislodging the electoral hold of
the governing African National Congress?

I explore all of these issues in this latest instalment of In The
Ring. [Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast, and kindly also
