Asked about his ambitions, Mashaba said: \u201cBeing president of the country or being a premier are the last jobs I want, but I am committed to finding a solution to our country\u2019s problems.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said he blames former president Thabo Mbeki for many of the country\u2019s problems, saying his advice proved to be \u201cdisastrous\u201d and \u201che\u2019s got the experience of destroying\u201d.<\/p>\n

Mashaba explained to host Mike Siluma why ActionSA proposed renaming eThekwini after the late Mangosuthu Buthelezi.<\/p>\n

He also discussed his party\u2019s plans for economic recovery and immigration.<\/p>\n
