Bronwyn Williams & Ray Hartley | The Small Print
In this episode, Bronwyn speaks to author Ray Hartley about his latest book, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: Scenarios for South Africa’s Uncertain Future. They discuss the possible outcomes of the 2024 elections, how different outcomes would shape South Africa’s immediate future, the likelihood of the ANC and the EFF forming a coalition government, South Africa’s geopolitical position in a polarised world, and whether South Africans have reason for optimism.
