Duma Gqubule on SA's economic policy missteps: Anglo exit, Eskom, Ramaphosa, inflation, 'GNU'

Economist Duma Gqubule joins us on SMWX to unpack a wide-ranging set of issues; from Anglo's exit from South Africa, to SA's economy and the obsession with targets that don't matter. Gqubule explores what the way forward should be for South Africa and how we need a growth target that will ensure 6% GDP for SA to get the economy going.
