Prominent businessman Wiseman Sbu Mpisane, who once made contributions to the ANC, is the national chairperson of a new political organisation.

Mpisane, the estranged husband of businesswoman and media personality, Shauwn Mkhize, will lead the Gap Fixers of South Africa (GFSA) under the tagline, "A true catalyst for change"

The new organisation was approved last year by the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) to participate in the provincial and national elections this year.

The GFSA was registered by Themba Viros Buthelezi from Pongola in Northern KwaZulu-Natal. Mpisane, who has been in the news trying to recoup his millions of Rands from Mkhize after she failed to sign the divorce papers she had served him, is determined to change the political landscape.

Mpisane said he decided to participate in politics after watching former President Jacob Zuma being jailed at Escourt Correctional facility in KZN in July 2021.

After the incarceration of Zuma in July 2021, there was widespread violence and looting in KZN and Gauteng. In the process, many people died, and hundreds were injured.

Mpisane said: "What hurt me the most was to witness someone who fought for our freedom having his fingerprints taken in prison and jailed thereafter. I was hurting because Zuma was jailed after he didn?t even face a fair trial."

This is where the Gap Fixers of SA comes in, said Mpisane.

He explained, "Our Constitution does not favour the black men and women of South Africa. Our people are still living in poverty, 30 years after the black government took over.

We want to fix a lot of things in this country. There is a huge gap that doesn?t cover the ordinary people who are the majority voters."

Mpisane, who was involved in professional football by leading Royal AM and which he left for his son Andile, said the ANC had forgotten about the bread and butter issues that the majority of people in SA are fighting for.

He said people want clean water, free and quality education for their children and to live in safe places.

He believes that the unemployed youth can be assisted in getting jobs as young as 18, or immediately after finishing their matric studies.
