MINDSPACE soundbite – Is South Africa prioritising growth or geopolitics?

We’re navigating a new world trade order. The world’s geopolitical landscape is shifting beneath our feet, with new alliances forming and old powers jostling for influence. South Africa finds itself walking a tightrope. On one side, geopolitical alliances and ideological narratives.
