On this podcast, we'll be chatting with various interesting individuals from South Africa and beyond about a plethora of topics. We'll be discussing everything from fixing roads to deciphering economics to drawing cartoons, so don't miss out!
Martin van Staden and Hermann Pretorius join Chris Hattingh to preview and analyse the upcoming Local Government Elections. They discuss the respective parties' chances, highlight some of the biggest campaigning matters, and they unpack whether the phenomenon of 'coalitions' will become more prevalent.
