South Africa is changing its retirement rules to help boost country savings: how it will work

      By Adrian Saville, University of Pretoria     A study of 160 countries, spanning 60 years of economic history, establishes that there is no country that has been able to transition from “poor to prosperous” without a high savings rate.

Cyril Ramaphosa’s speech to parliament listed South Africa’s old problems – but no new solutions

      By Vinothan Naidoo, University of Cape Town     South African President Cyril Ramaphosa’s opening of parliament speech successfully captured the spirit of a diverse and cohesive multi-party government ready to get down to work. But it failed to tell South Africans how the new dispensation will do things differently, and better.

      By Caroline Southey, The Conversation; Jabulani Sikhakhane, The Conversation, and Thabo Leshilo, The Conversation     On 29 May 2024 South Africans went to the polls and delivered a strong message to their political leaders: we’re tired of the “same old same old”.

South Africa’s new parliament needs to do a better job of holding cabinet to account: legal scholar weighs the chances

      By Hugh Corder, University of Cape Town     South Africa has entered new territory with a government of national unity after the May elections. The parties representing more than 70% of the electorate will now be the dominant force in parliament. The parties that are not part of the unity government will doubtless continue to demand accountability by the executive. A particular challenge arises, however, for […]
