Bronwyn Williams & Mandy Wiener | The Small Print
In this episode, Bronwyn speaks to journalist and author Mandy Wiener about South Africa’s ever-evolving political situation. How unified is our government of national unity? How binding are the agreements between the ANC and its GNU partners? What stops Ramaphosa from changing his cabinet at will? They also discuss how the realignment of South African politics impacts the country’s investability, whether our politics should be held hostage by market forces, the false dichotomy between a country’s economy and its people, the historical context behind many South Africans’ resistance towards having the DA in government, why political parties choose such mediocre men to represent them, the parallels between SA politics and the US, and why our current political turmoil may be a sign of a maturing democracy.

You may have seen her talking about Transhumanism or Tikok on Carte Blanche, or heard her talking about trends on 702 or CNBC Africa where she is a regular expert commentator. When she's not talking to brands and businesses about the future, you will probably find her curled up somewhere with a (preferably paperback) book. She tweets at @bronwynwilliams.
