‘Vote these buggers out of power’ - Prof Jonathan Jansen

Loading player...
South Africa is quite literally “falling apart” at the helm of the governing ANC, filled to the brim with ministers unfit for office, arrogantly believing the rural vote will save them in perpetuity. In a broad-ranging, no-holds-barred interview about the state of the nation, internationally-distinguished academic and author Prof Jonathan Jansen tells BizNews’ Michael Appel that South Africa “needs to vote these buggers [ANC] out of power” come national elections in 2024. From the crime, unemployment and electricity supply crisis to fumbling education policies, Jansen says he’s advising talented young South Africans to leave the country in the short term. He wants our best and brightest to then return once we’re out of the “lacuna, this vacuum, this interregnum, if you wish”, to help rebuild the country. Jansen delivers incisive analysis that cowers to nothing and no one. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
