Interview with Jakkie Cilliers
The future of South Africa - dealing with risks of populism

Based on his recent book; Jakkie Cilliers describes three scenarios for South Africa''s future; mainly depending on the character of the new leadership of the governing African National Congress; possible changes in government in 2018 and the national elections in 2019. The future of populism in South Africa seems also tied to these scenarios: populist elements of the ANC could try to consolidate their positions; and the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) may gain power and influence. In the interview; specific strategies to facilitate job intense economic growth and social cohesion are described as well; including a public service reform; land transfer in rural areas and a new social compact.
