Part 7/10:
The conversation looks ahead to the 2024 elections and the potential political shifts that could occur. Rob speculates on Cyril Ramaphosa’s potential succession plans within the ANC, hinting at a female successor who could bring a fresh perspective to leadership. However, his overall sentiment resonates with skepticism over the ANC’s track record of governance, reiterating his belief that the Gnu coalition also harbors significant challenges.
While Rob discusses the necessity of a solid business foundation to support the politicians, he does not dismiss the social implications of economic policies that favor radical free-market approaches. He acknowledges the potential for social unrest if vast economic disparities go unaddressed, arguing for a calibrated approach to instigate real change.
