Can the first black leader of South Africa's main opposition take race out of politics?

South Africa's main opposition party, the Democratic Alliance has its first ever black leader. Can he win Black votes from the ANC and take race out of South African politics?

South Africa's Democratic Alliance, the country's main opposition party, has its first ever black leader. Mmusi Maimane took over in May this year from Helen Zille. He says he wants to represent all South Africans regardless of colour, but the vast majority of black South Africans support the ANC, the party of Nelson Mandela. Can Mmusi Maimane win them over and take race out of South African politics?
