Publication description

We assess the latest tariff developments and their implications for South Africa. 

From there we move to the first-quarter unemployment statistics and some new polling data which shows that many ANC voters do not support ANC policies. 

Then we cover a proposal for stricter race requirements in the transport sector before concluding with a review of some mixed messaging on the Expropriation Act.
