How to Fix South Africa: Emigration, Economics & Urgent Reform
Loading player...
In this episode of How to Fix South Africa, journalist and strategist Kanthan Pillay joins us for a candid look at what’s driving South Africans to leave the country—and how we can fix it.
From the headline-grabbing exit of 49 Afrikaners to the broader crisis of systemic unemployment and policy failure, Kanthan unpacks what’s really behind the brain drain. He explores why race-based legislation and red tape are stalling South Africa’s growth—and what urgent reforms could reverse the decline.
We dive into the economic consequences of overregulation, the pitfalls of BEE in its current form, and the worrying gap between GDP and population growth. Plus, what does the upcoming meeting between Ramaphosa and Trump really mean for SA’s future?
📉 “74 people leave SA every day—focus on the why, not the who.”
📚 Don’t miss the call to action: fiscal transparency, meritocracy, and real accountability for SOEs.
Listen now to discover what it would actually take to fix South Africa.
