The IRR's Head of Policy, Anthea Jeffery, puts the final nail into the BEE coffin, sharing research into how more than 80% of Black South Africans are sick of the ANC's elite enrichment programme and would support a voucher-based alternative like the one successfully applied in India and elsewhere. She explains that even the SACP admits BEE is the primary cause for SA's disastrous economic performance for the past decade and a half. In this powerful interview, Dr Jeffery explains how a fairer, globally-tested alternative is preferred by the majority and spark a transition that would inject energy into SA's moribund economy.

At the seventh BizNews Conference BNC#7 in Hermanus, renowned political scientist and prolific BizNews contributor RW Johnson delivered a thought-provoking keynote on South Africa's Government of National Unity (GNU). He dissected the deep divide between ANC activists and the party's broader voter base, revealing surprising polling data that shows public support for the GNU despite fierce criticism from within ANC ranks. Johnson also explored the fading influence of the Left, the EFF's decline, and the critical role of business in shaping the ANC's future leadership battle. Can the GNU sustain itself until 2029, or will internal ANC power struggles determine its fate? In a lively Q&A session after his keynote speech, RW Johnson sat down with BizNews founder Alec Hogg to tackle topics ranging from political funding scandals to the ANC's precarious financial situation and South Africa's international entanglements. Johnson discussed the influence of foreign money on local politics, the ANC's alleged funding ties to Iran, and the fading power of the SACP. He also dissected the challenges of breaking patronage politics, the role of intelligence agencies in exposing corruption, and the GNU's uncertain future beyond 2027. Could economic performance determine its survival, or will ANC infighting bring it down first?

The South African Communist Party (SACP) says its rejects the contents of the budget that was scheduled for presentation by the Minister of Finance Enoch Godongwana to Parliament yesterday but did not happen.

Believe it or not, veteran political editor and Business Day Editor-at-Large Natasha Marrian tells Peter Bruce in tis edition of Podcasts from the Edge, President Cyril Ramaphosa is enjoying an all-too-rare personal and political purple patch right now and has found his happy place. Pushing through first the Bela Bill and now the new Expropriation Bill has done wonders for his position inside the ANC. Critics and doomsayers notwithstanding, the fact is that Ramaphosa has largely silenced his critics in the SACP and he has been able to brush aside deputy president Paul Mashatile's people in Gauteng and opponents in the ANC's KwaZulu structures. Sure, he is going to have to manage the DA in the GNU coalition but that's more than doable.
