Sibusiso Dyonase , DA leader hopeful.

He thought: What have I got to lose? Let me take on the man widely tipped to lead the DA next.

In this edition, The Lead host Graeme Raubenheimer picks Sibusiso Dyonase’s brain on his 15-year journey in the DA, who he looks up to, and why challenging Cape Town Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis for the top spot is so critical, politically speaking.

And then Raubenheimer gauges who’s who and running for which DA positions, with our deputy politics editor, Bongekile Macupe, ahead of the party’s elective congress in Midrand this weekend.

Finally, before Covid-19, there was Sars, and no, we're not talking about the taxman, in On This Day in SA History, our regular show segment.
