South Africa's Democratic Alliance, the country's main opposition party, has elected 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. How will he manage to win them over and take race out of South African politics?
