In this week’s edition of How to Fix South Africa, Kanthan Pillay joins us to break down the key issues ahead of the National Budget Speech on February 19.

With rising fuel costs, failing public transport, and neglected roads, can the country afford to delay investment?

We also explore the growing trade tensions between the U.S. and South Africa—could Biden’s administration shift from aid to trade restrictions? What would this mean for jobs, businesses, and our economy?
