For the first time since the dawn of democracy in South Africa 30 years ago, the African National Congress has lost its majority, forcing the liberation party to enter a coalition for it to rule the country.
In this episode Professors Lawrence Hamilton and Susan Booysen have an in-depth discussion about the 2024 election results, how these results came about, how the country got to the junction of a government of national unity and what this means for South Africa.
And in our political agenda feature, we unpack terror charges that the Indian government levelled at noted author Arundhati Roy and retired law professor Sheikh Showkat Hussain for comments they made 14 years ago.
