South Africa at a Turning Point, Frans Cronjé on the GNU, the Budget, and the Battle for Growth!

South Africa just hit a critical moment. A bottoming-out economy.

A GNU learning to govern together, and a budget speech that may have quietly shifted the country’s trajectory.

Dr. Frans Cronjé joins Mike Sham to break down the numbers, the politics, the missed opportunities, and the unexpected signs of life inside the ANC–DA alliance. From the peak of state capture to the new fiscal “common sense,” from BEE’s decline to investor confidence, and from MK’s threat to America’s G20 snub — this conversation cuts through noise and tells you where South Africa actually stands. If you care about the country’s future, this is the episode to watch.

With very best wishes,

Chris Wilkinson.

I am not rich, but neither am I poor. Not desperate nor destitute.

But I do appreciate some help with the costs of doing what I do.

Thank you.
