South Africa will follow one of two routes from here on: “radical socio-economic transformation” according to the model of Jacob Zuma and his patronage group, or “inclusive growth” according to the model of Pravin Gordhan and Mcebisi Jonas.
South Africans will have to be very clear that if the model is going to be inclusive growth, the “inclusive” part of that will have to be substantial, even radical, otherwise the state capturers, the corrupt and cheap populists will eventually win the battle anyway.
The agriculture and business communities should read the writing on the wall and understand that the socio-political dynamics of the last two decades have changed drastically.
