This week Steenhuisen announced that six opposition parties would hold a national convention aimed at ousting the ANC in the next elections.

The so-called “Moonshot Pact” was first mooted by the DA at its congress in April. Besides the DA, the parties which have signed on for the convention are the IFP, Freedom Front Plus, Action SA, United Independent Movement and Spectrum National Party.

In this episode of the Politics Weekly, we explore the Moonshot Pact’s chances of success.

On our panel this time are political analyst Asanda Ngoasheng and Wayne Sussman (election analyst).
