President Cyril Ramaphosa is expected to announce changes to his executive this evening. The country has now been waiting for the President to announce his reshuffled cabinet for weeks. And while the country is holding its collective breath to see who is in and who is out, there is trouble on the horizon with public servants who plan to go on a nationwide strike in anger over a wage increase while the EFF is planning a total shutdown for the 20th of the month.

Can South Africa still be saved, and if so, how can each of us make a difference?
Radio Islam International discusses with the CEO of civil society, Wayne Duvenhage and political analyst Ebrahim Harvey.

According to Duvenhage, a significant shift in mindset and approach is possible; however, it will likely happen later. He said the right people, President and a Presidential mindset could change things. Many countries have been steeped in in-depth corruption for years and have been able to get out of the hole in a relatively short space of time.

“I don’t believe the current team under Ramaphosa or whom he may place into these positions can do it,” he says.

Meanwhile, things have been considerably worse since Ramaphosa took office. However, Harvey suggests it cannot be attributed solely to Ramaphosa.

“Global factors have influenced the situation in South Africa,” he says.

The biggest concern of Civil Society is the EFF and ANC coalition which spells disaster for the country, as per Duvenhage.

Civil society calls on Big Business to come into the challenge. Duvenhage said Big Business has to sit face to face with the President and people saying this cannot continue.

“It’s in time of crisis like this that we need to gather our resources to keep the pressure up, this time around big business has to come to the party and stop it’s fear from challenging the government,” he says.
