South Africa

Unemployment, gangsterism, inequality. The big issues debated in Cape Town.

A political experiment is underway in South Africa. For the very first time the ANC has lost its majority and joined forces with their bitter rivals The Democratic Alliance and eight other parties. Is the Government of National Unity a cause for optimism? Or has governing South Africa become even more difficult? Democracy has been respected, the Rand has strengthened and many hope corruption will be put on the back foot, but the country鈥檚 big problems remain. Inequality is stark, the crime rate is the highest in Africa and half of young people are out of work. Can the different parties overcome their arguments to deliver for the country? Jonny Dymond is joined by a panel of leading figures across government and opposition to debate the big issues, with an audience on location in Cape Town.
