MINDSPACE soundbite – Is South Africa prioritising growth or geopolitics?

Loading player...
We’re navigating a new world trade order. The world’s geopolitical landscape is shifting beneath our feet, with new alliances forming and old powers jostling for influence. South Africa finds itself walking a tightrope. On one side, geopolitical alliances and ideological narratives. On the other, the urgent need for economic growth, job creation, and the upliftment of ordinary South Africans. So, where does our country stand in this emerging new world trade order? 

Join us for this MINDSPACE Soundbite as we discuss how we as a nation can prioritise the right things: our people, our economy, and our future. 

This MINDSPACE Soundbite is inspired by the June edition of our MINDSPACE newsletter. If you’d like to subscribe, contact us at mindspace@oldmutual.com or visit the Old Mutual Corporate Resource Hub at www.oldmutual.co.za/corporate/resource-hub
