One thing he said is true - us South Africans are very pragmatic people. We just get on with it

It is exactly what I thought that he sent the invite to many party leaders and that he hopes some would turn him down. That way nobody can say he left them out also a good way to ease into the Government of National Unity. Ramaphosa won't admit it, but deep down for a long time he was hoping for this GNU to get a better cabinet to make things right. In a way his hands were tied within the ANC as he inherited unfavorable cabinet members from Zuma. He had to keep a balance to remain president which was and is the best for SA.

People who are writing off Ramaphosa are making the same mistake we made in underestimating Zuma.

Certainly an insightful interview. An absolute pleasure to have heard it

Be very wary of the comrades!

This is a brilliant, objective assessment of Ramaphosa's approach for the ANC and the GNU.

Nice to have real true journalists

We need leaders that can lead from the front and inspire a nation.The Springbok story is a great example. Was shocked to hear that Cape Town is one of the worst ports in the world. If there was ever a time for South Africans to stand to together it is now and show the world how they can turn the country around and build it up. And my personal wish is that we can stand with Israel. Don't get pulled in with the lies of the media against Israel. A nation that bless Israel will be blessed that is a fact and Biblical.

Awesome post

Very insight analysis by Mr Rachman. EFF & MK made CR's desire so much easier by respectively putting unacceptable pre-conditions and rejecting the election results/boycotting parliament.

Thanks for your balanced and insightful perspectives.

I'd love to invest in SA but the risk is still too much. The biggest thing an investor wants to see is a society that believes in Capitalism as the best path to prosperity. It never happens with Socialism and Communism, and the chance of it happening any time soon would be unprecedented historically.

Once again, wow reporting, thank you..

How will this GNU's performance be measured. How many bridges to be build, how many proper roads to be constructed in Eastern Cape, Limpopo, how many young people to be employed and black owned businesses to be supported? Will things continue as usual, where a minister takes over a ministry for her/himself, coming in with a whole new inexperienced team and decide on how tenders are ditched out?. If that is the case, come 2029, EFF and MK including the so called progressive parties will form a new radical government.

You nailed it! Criminally State owned entity.

On top of their list, two things should be their priority; infrastructure and crime. Fix those, and you would see employment growth and foreign investment.

Better education. It all starts there.

This was an intelligent interview which highlights some interesting facts , Ramaphosa is one very smooth talker and has done a great job of selling the GNU deal , considering that is he is the biggest loser as a 41 percent party , secondly we know Ramaphosa has been incapable of implementing and delivering basic service delivery given his appalling track record in office . He will now have too walk the talk and hope his GNU will successfully deliver because his crumbling party base and support was canabilised by MK who continue eating away this support base. I hope this GNU works for the ANC and its allies since the progressive caucus does not seem a viable option because their leaders are not interested in constitutionalism but prefer populism and power.

Thanks for the clarity ❤

We know ramaphosa wants the energy sector and wants to privatize so ,this is the way

Business needs to realize that "THEY" are nothing without people, so STOP trying to make stupendous amounts of PROFIT, by partnering with GOVERNMENTS. We the people, with eat you for lunch if you carry on.

How does one party with one seat earn a place in cabinet. Boggles the brain.

I think you are correct. Ramaphosa feels free to be the president he wants to be. He also knows the ANC is fighting for survival from its enemies.

Seaports and Airports need a Separate Ministry, I.e. Ministry of Aviation and Maritime Affairs, not Ministry of all Transport Affairs. For now there’s less concentration in Aviation and Maritime matters.

It is obvious that this whole change was planned, and got ready for it. The Zulu King actually said so. At least it is going in a better direction.

I am so wary of these analysts’! He’s either right or wrong! That’s his job. Spin the coin!

From past experience in SA, it is not necessarily positive that Ramaphosa accepted the results 'gracefully' and on the surface, 'constructively'. I personally do not think, given the ANC's level of animosity, that logic will prevail, and that the DA will survive this next phase. The probability that the the ANC will stump and reduce the imp of the DA is very high.

Let's face it, Zuma is the best villain any fairytale requires. Why would Ramaphosa not be happy with the cavalry coming over the horizon? They are the ones with the wooden chest holding gold bullion. This is a script for a Hollywood movie. What is not to like?

The ANC got rid of Zuma while the Republican Party of the USA did not get rid of Trump. That puts the ANC ahead of the Republican Party of the USA in terms of at least some significant markers of the world standing of political parties

Why do you suddenly have a private channel? Of course this has a financial implication. I would then suggest that you inform your regular listeners and move this panel into a private folder and away from the average guy's utube channel?

1. Consensus farming huh! 2. If you ever watched Sarafina, the character Mzwakhe Mbuli played is Ramaphosa in real life. He will also share the same fate as that character even metaphorically. 3. There is no virtue with Cyril accepting the results because he was sent to do that so it's job well done to him. 4. The hyenas and vultures from the west are circling because they smell blood. They will be disappointed. 5. Interesting that as Cyril is ready to sell eskom, load shedding goes away. We are not as stupid as you suppose we are.

The problem is if you want to do business as a country, the best market to sell to is the white west. The 85% does not matter if they dont want to buy your goods. And demographics are changing. Europe is an old age home. China will see a population crash over the next three decades. The USA looks like it will be more insular even though it has good demographics. India is a wakening power. So the point is for now, we need the west. And we have to grow intelligently while we have a potentially lucrative west market so we can be in a better position when the new superpowers come to the fore. The anti west mentality is really bad for business at this stage. As an example: Impala and Angloplats were competing with each other for the number 1 spot as platinum supplier to the world for years. Then we fucked around and that market went elsewhere. We have not recovered that position since. How intelligent was that? So we need to think here.
