n this thought-provoking episode of How to Fix South Africa on the Social Impact Show, Sam Marshall and Kanthan Pillay unpack the global implications of Donald Trump’s first 100 days back in office.

The duo also reflect on President Ramaphosa’s first 100 days in office and whether the promises of investment and reform have delivered any tangible outcomes.
