Former Johannesburg mayor Herman Mashaba will officially launch his political party in August and will be gunning for the three metros in Gauteng.
He took a swipe at his former party, the DA, and the now-struggling Agang SA, which was formed in 2013 by Mamphela Ramphele.
He said his party would allow South Africans to choose candidates for the local government elections next year and a similar system would be used to choose candidates to contest provincial and national government elections.
