Nick Binedell: How Zexit happened - and what comes next for SA

Loading player...
JOHANNESBURG — Here's a fascinating discussion with Nick Binedell, founder and former dean of GIBS, Africa's top business school. Binedell has productively applied the time freed up by his recent retirement. He is one of many unsung heroes who worked tirelessly behind the scenes as South African civil society fought back against the state capture which set the stage for industrial-scale corruption. I visited with him at GIBS this morning for his insights after Jacob Zuma finally threw in the towel last night. What transpired is a riveting must-listen for anyone wanting to make sense of SA's historic developments in the past week. Especially interesting are Binedell's views on what comes next for the young democracy. Hope Springs. - Alec Hogg Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
