Quick Glance: EFF's Shivambu as Finance Minister Would Truly Spook the Markets
- In typical EFF fashion, politician Julius Malema recently made the controversial statement that the EFF would only consider a coalition with the ANC after the elections if EFF deputy president Floyd Shivambu is appointed finance minister.
- DA leader John Steenhuisen did not mince his words at the recent launch of his party’s Western Cape manifesto in Paarl, in the Drakenstein Municipality.
- Steenhuisen warned that under a coalition with Shivambu as finance minister, the EFF would unleash its destructive economic policies to turn South Africa into the next Venezuela or Zimbabwe.
- Investment strategist Izak Odendaal from Old Mutual Wealth says it is unlikely that Shivambu would take on what is arguably the most important Cabinet position, even in the event of an ANC-EFF coalition.

dailymaverick.co.za/article/2024-04-07-naledi-pandor-is-treading-the-pik-botha-path-to-sas-diplomatic-oblivion/
Quick Glance: South Africa's Foreign Policy Under Scrutiny
- In a mirror image of Pik Botha’s missions during apartheid to sell South Africa's 'good intentions' to the US, International Relations and Cooperation Minister Naledi Pandor is striving to defend her government's somewhat battered foreign policy.
- South Africa seems to believe that maintaining good relations with the White House allows it to challenge US sentiments, values, and interests in international relations without jeopardizing its economic ties.
- Following the Ukraine invasion and our misguided stance, it is crucial for South Africa to rediscover its democratic foundations and advocate for ordinary people across the continent who seek transparent and accountable freely elected governments.
- A recurring pattern emerges: South Africa takes hasty positions and hastily retraces its steps when faced with diplomatic repercussions. The ANC now confronts the chilly winds of disapproval, struggling to cope, partly due to its overwhelming commitment to sanctimonious ideological rhetoric that clouds its judgment.

South Africa: Former president Jacob Zuma is barred from running in elections | Africanews
africanews.com/2024/04/01/south-africa-former-president-jacob-zuma-is-barred-from-running-in-elections/
Quick Glance: Impact of Jacob Zuma's Election Exclusion on South Africa's Vote
- The exclusion of former President Jacob Zuma from the elections in May is heightening political tensions in South Africa as the country gears up for what is anticipated to be a fiercely competitive electoral battle.
- Zuma's opposition to the ANC challenges his previous party's dominance and might result in the ANC falling below the 50% vote mark for the first time.
- While this may dampen the MK's momentum, the 2021 protests indicate that barring him from the election could rally his loyal supporters.
- Following the announcement, the MK announced plans to challenge the decision. A potential court ruling in favor of Zuma's candidacy could revive his political prospects and present a significant obstacle to the ANC during a period of declining popularity.
