From a young age, Mmusi has had a passion for fighting for the dignity of the poor, excluded and marginalized in society. This has fueled 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 is working towards his 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.

Having spent close to a decade in institutional politics, it became clear to Mmusi that the formalized political system is broken and self-serving, and requires wholescale change.

This is why he has committed the coming years to build grassroots, activist movement that changes the South African political and socio-economic landscape through the direct election of public servants to office.

Mmusi has been married to Natalie since 2005 and they have three children, two daughters Kgalaletso and Kutlwano, and a son Daniel.
