How will South African politics impact 2019
From a political perspective, 2019 looks like it will be a game of two halves. In the first half, which will run until the national and provincial elections, which are expected to be theld in May, the ANC government will take a cautious and defensive stance, its leader wary of taking risks for fear of weakening his future positioning. During this period a range of issues carried over from 2018 will continue to dominate the political discussion.
