Rob Rose and Zukile Majova are joined by Patrick Smith from Africa Confidential for episode 23 of Sharp Sharp, the weekly podcast on politics, money and power from the Financial Mail and Scrolla.Africa.
The week began with two Airlink jets flying dramatically low over Cape Town Stadium ahead of the Springboks and All Blacks Test, sparking a global safety debate. Rob and Zuks use it as a fitting metaphor for a party that never seems to plan ahead, the ANC, which missed the Electoral Commission’s deadline to submit candidate lists in several Eastern Cape municipalities, risking being locked out of contesting those areas entirely in November.
