About this video
Prince Mashele delivers a hard-hitting speech on why South Africa is broken and how he believes it can be rescued.
He identifies the alliance he says destroyed the country: corrupt ANC politicians, tenderpreneurs, criminals and incompetents.
Then he lays out a 10-point plan: competent leadership, jailing corrupt politicians, professionalising the public service, fixing public schools and hospitals, cutting red tape, replacing BEE with a redress model, rebuilding infrastructure, securing borders and restoring moral order.
He also reveals the organisational plan behind Rescue South Africa a new initiative aiming to mobilise skilled South Africans, raise resources transparently, and ultimately replace the ANC in 2029.
Topics include:
• Who broke South Africa
• Why competent leadership matters
• Why corrupt politicians must go to jail
• Ending cadre deployment
• Public schools, hospitals and maths/science education
• Replacing BEE with real redress
• Securing borders and citizenship
• Rescue South Africa’s 2029 plan
