Addressing the media on Monday Morning the Leader of One SA (OSA)  Mmusi Maimane announced that his organisation will be recruiting independent candidates for this year’s local government elections. The former leader of the Democratic Alliance says OSA is not a political party but a movement, to give power back to the people. 

Maimane expressed that their involvement would not be as a political party, but rather they will support  independent candidates by endorsing them and through aiding thier campaigns financially.

He also added that he will not be running as an  independent  candidate on the elections because he is gunning for the the 2024 general elections.
