Mmusi Aloysias Maimane

From a young age, Mmusi has had a passion for fighting for the dignity of the poor, excluded and marginalized in society. This has fuelled his conviction to build One South Africa that is united, reconciled and prosperous. Born in 1980, Mmusi grew up in Soweto South Africa's largest township. He attended Allen Glen High School, where he matriculated in 1997. Mmusi holds two masters degrees in Public Administration as well as Theology, and has completed a PhD in economic development. He speaks 7 South African languages fluently. His career spans across the business and governance sectors most notably as a Member of Parliament and the leader of the official opposition in South Africa. He launched Build One South Africa (BOSA) in Naledi, Soweto, in September 2022, in response to the call for a political party that truly represents the needs of its citizens. Following the 2024 National and Provincial Elections, Mmusi returned as a Member of Parliament and was subsequently elected chairperson of Parliament's powerful Standing Committee on Appropriations.
