BNIC#2 Dawie Roodt warns of looming SA debt crisis: "The State is destroying capital”

Loading player...
At BNIC#2 in Hermanus, economist Dawie Roodt delivered a no-holds-barred analysis of South Africa’s economy, warning of a looming financial crisis driven by unsustainable debt, state destruction of capital, and ANC misrule.

His blunt conclusion: “The only way to fix South Africa is to get rid of the ANC.”
