RW Johnson - SA’s parlous finances, ANC’s patronage network on collision course

Political scientist and long-time Oxford University scholar RW Johnson applies his mind to the key factors influencing South Africa’s immediate economic and political future. Cutting State spending is the obvious and urgent fix but enacting it will require backbone thus far absent from the ANC. Johnson also explains the European “toddler management” strategy with Donald Trump - and why Pretoria’s total misreading of geopolitics is costing the country dearly. He spoke to BizNews editor Alec Hogg.
