Researcher, political scientist and now author of ‘Coalition Country’, Dr Leon Schreiber is the guest on this episode. Leon delves into the single party rule under which South Africa has toiled for 70 years, and how the future ultimately lies in coalition politics. Jonathan queries the lack of effective leadership in our local politics, and Roman tackles the ruling party’s hegemony over the entire discourse. The discussion tackles what it will take for the ANC to surrender power and truly take up the mantle of opposition, why the EFF chooses not to engage in formal coalitions, and how the DA’s experience with coalitions may set them up favourably for future elections.
