Road to election 2024:  Free State Provincial profile

GUEST:  Leeto Nthoba - Political Commentator and Lecturer at the Central University of Technology 

Crime 
Corruption and cross-border crime (zama-zamas, illegal immigration, stock-theft) 
Illegal arms dealing and the CIT heist economy 

Economic development 
Maluti-a-Phofung Special Economic Zone was introduced because of the areas strategic position between Johannesburg and Durban and it was meant to act as an inland port of some sort - how has that gone so far, also considering the number strikes in the area and trucks being torched  
The province has been a major contributor to the agri sector - have all the opportunities been exhausted or does the province have more to offer, regardless of the global challenges faced by the agri sector  
The highest court in the land is in the province 

Voting patterns
The Free State has always been the ANC’s stronghold - will we start seeing the results of Ace Magashule’s expulsion from the ANC - there are talk of Magashule having a support base large enough to cripple the ANC in the province (will he sway voters to support other parties) 
Political parties that want a piece of the pie and independent candidates 
State Capture and Mangaung Metro being placed under administration - how will that dent the ANC’s prospects 

Service Delivery in the Free State 
Service delivery has been a major concern for most residents 
Waste collection challenges 
There was an issue with the irregular formation of the Mangaung Metro Police department 
Rural development
