In this episode of The Small Print, Bronwyn speaks to economic analyst Bheki Mahlobo about what is in store for South Africans in the year ahead. What are some economic and political trends that will define 2022? They discuss the rise of “South Africa First” rhetoric among both sides of the political spectrum, the shortcomings of modern monetary policies, the tradeoffs between growth and redistribution, the growing number of disillusioned ANC voters, and why so many young South Africans are looking at unconventional ways of investing in their futures.
