South Africa continues to grapple with high unemployment, deep-rooted inequality and economic
exclusion, raising questions about whether the country’s economic transformation efforts are delivering meaningful change. In an opinion piece published by IOL, titled “South Africa Needs Total Economic Transformation, Not Just Promises,” the focus is on the need to move beyond political commitments towards tangible economic change. Tonight, we unpack what total economic transformation should look like, who should benefit from it, and what needs to change to ensure that South Africa’s economy creates meaningful opportunities for those who remain on the margins. Kefentse Mkhari is in conversation with Cosatu’s parliamentary coordinator Matthew Parks to explore whether the country is making real progress towards an economy that works for all.
