BNIC#2 Sarupen Q&A: Pragmatism over ideology - “Burn the coal, build the grid, and fix the law”

At BNIC#2 in Hermanus, Deputy Finance Minister Ashor Sarupen laid out a candid roadmap for South Africa’s recovery.

He stressed energy pragmatism - burn coal while building new transmission infrastructure and plugging in cheap renewables - alongside the urgency of restoring the rule of law.

Sarupen argued that functional coalitions, not one-party dominance, will shape the country’s future, and said the GNU has “detoxified” the DA’s brand among sceptical voters.

His core message: without growth, stability, and law enforcement, South Africa risks repeating July 2021’s chaos.

With very best wishes,

Chris Wilkinson.

I'm simply a messenger, writing and sharing with other patriotic South Afri-CANs. 

To encourage and inspire. I do not get paid for this.

If you’d like to support my efforts, I appreciate it.

If you can't, I understand. Times are tough.
