PODCAST: ‘Sharp Sharp’ – The Taco, the GNU and the ANC rebels

US President Trump threatened to wipe out an entire civilisation, then chickened out an hour before his own deadline – in typical Trump Always Chickens Out (Taco) style. Rob Rose and Zukile Majova unpack the Taco moment heard around the world and what it means for South Africa’s foreign policy in an era of creeping authoritarianism. 

They also get into the rebel faction inside the ANC that wants to collapse the government of national unity and replace the DA with the EFF and MK, and why that would be catastrophic for the rand and investment. And they look at whether South Africa’s environment actually allows entrepreneurs to thrive, after South Africa-born Natie Kirsh sold his US company for R500bn. 

Sharp Sharp is a weekly podcast on South African politics, money and power from Currency News and Scrolla.Africa.
