Frans Cronje on the future of South Africa | Solutions With David Ansara Podcast #15

South Africa is in the midst of a profound crisis. How will the country fare over the next decade and what should individuals, families and communities do to prepare themselves for an increasingly uncertain future?

In this episode of 'Solutions With David Ansara', I speak to my colleague at the Centre For Risk Analysis, Dr Frans Cronje, about the future trajectory of South Africa, and how to develop a strategy to mitigate the downside risks of living in SA.

Frans and I discuss:

- What last month's riots reveal about the current state of the country.

- Why there is no "reform agenda" and why mainstream analysts are so often wrong about SA.

- The need for developing a 'Plan B' mindset.

- The importance of diversifying your income and assets.

- How to secure your children's future.

- Alternatives to emigration.

- Whether SA is sustainable as a unitary state and the potential emergence of an "enclave society"
