SOUTH AFRICA: BACK ON THE SLOW AND NARROW PATH TO REFORM

SOUTH AFRICA: BACK ON THE SLOW AND NARROW PATH TO REFORM

   Mon, 13 May 2019

Cyril Ramaphosa has achieved a reversal of his party’s electoral decline in May’s elections. In fact, he faced a greater challenge from rivals within his own party than from South Africa’s weak political opposition. His next challenge will be to balance fractious interests in the next cabinet to avoid a permanent party split, while building a platform for restructuring cash-strapped state-owned enterprises that could trigger a backlash from labour unions and other allies. Much of the ANC’s actual election manifesto will be shelved to ensure fiscal discipline.
