The Renowned businessman and anti-apartheid activist, Roger Jardine, is poised to make a significant political move as he officially launches the Change-SA movement.
The event is scheduled to take place in his hometown of Riverlea, south of Johannesburg, on Sunday. Jardine, who has roots in the African National Congress (ANC), expresses his belief that the ANC is no longer suitable for the future of South Africa. His decision to reshape the country’s political landscape underscores a critical shift in his political stance.
Change-SA aims to address the pressing socio-economic challenges facing South Africa. Jardine, along with notable figures in civil society like Mark Heywood and Nicole Fritz, envisions this movement as a catalyst for positive change. The inclusion of Murphy Morobe, an ANC stalwart and key figure in the 1976 youth uprisings, adds historical significance to the emerging political outfit.
The launch signals a bold step for Jardine, who is engaging with various political entities. While concrete agreements are yet to materialize, Jardine’s movement is poised to provide alternative solutions to the country’s challenges. The involvement of respected figures from civil society and ANC history suggests a broader coalition seeking a fresh approach to South Africa’s political landscape.
