London-based Darias Jonker is leading global political risk consultancy Eurasia's director for Africa. In this insightful podcast, Jonker explains why multinationals who have operations in SA and foreign portfolio investors in the country's stocks and bonds are "very worried" at a continuation of the lockdown and the damage it is doing to the economy. He says a bailout package from the IMF is now a matter of when not if and unpacks why president Cyril Ramaphosa has fallen into line with ANC internal dynamics rather than pursuing an approach which scientists and economists believe would be best for the economy. - Alec Hogg
