News24 | PODCAST | The Lead: Who succeeds Steenhuisen? With Pieter du Toit and Velani Ludidi

A third DA term for Steenhuisen would’ve been relatively unusual for the party. So who will succeed him? One of his up-and-coming protégés, say Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis?

In an about-turn, John Steenhuisen has decided to bow out as DA leader.

It’s left the party’s upcoming elective congress all the more intriguing.

We take stock of Steenhuisen’s tenure with News24 investigations editor Pieter du Toit, and assess Steenhuisen’s potential successors with journalist Velani Ludidi, in this special roundtable.

Top political analyst Daniel Silke keeps the conversation flowing, arguing that the next DA leader should stick to being just that and avoid taking on a public office-bearer role.

Finally, a bold attempt to fly from London to Cape Town commenced in 1920, with On This Day in SA History.
