FACT IS: Pres Ramaphosa is more popular among SAns than ANC members. He says all things SAns want done. But ANC itself and Tripartite Alliance impede him. The ANC as currently structured does Not serve interests of SAns. So, what to do? His primary mission
as he says is to unite the ANC. This is strategically ill-informed. He must allow for its Creative Destruction (a term coined by the economist Joseph Schumpeter in the early 1940s) and oversee emergence of a new party with reinforced values and
robust processes for election of party representatives. The Alliance must be dismantled. For more comprehensive analysis read: Fit for Purpose available online via thabangjmotsohi.com
Current perception by FT and investment community and business is that SA drifts in a sea of indecisiveness and policy incoherence under his shackled leadership. ESKOM's dysfunction is definitely going to trigger a ratings downgrade on current sentiments.
Can this scenario happen? Unlikely because none of the factions want it. We are therefore stuck in regressing economic and social conditions. Likely outcome is uncontrolled social implosion triggered by rising unemployment and inequality. God be with us!
