South Africa’s fate lies in the hands of the next African National Congress (ANC) leader who’ll be chosen in December 2017. In his new book, Fate of the Nation, Jakkie Cilliers argues that power struggles in the ANC have paralysed the party causing inept leadership and poor service delivery. Will the ANC split or be forced into an alliance with the opposition? Could the ANC lose power in 2024?
This View on Africa is presented by Jakkie Cilliers, head of African Futures and Innovation, ISS Pretoria. Based on three scenarios for South Africa’s future, he will forecast election outcomes for 2019, 2024 and 2029.
Fate of the Nation is published by Jonathan Ball and the Institute for Security Studies.
