Скачать или смотреть Dawie Roodt Explains the Collapse. South Africa Is Choosing to Be Poor.

South Africa isn’t just in trouble — it’s in decline by choice. In this hard-hitting episode of State of the Nation, economist Dawie Roodt joins us to unpack the collapse of South Africa’s economy, the real impact of the new U.S. tariffs, and why even the BRICS alliance can’t save us from ourselves.

We cover:

1. Why SA's “growth” is a statistical illusion
2. The 30–40% U.S. tariffs & their impact on exports
3. How far we've fallen behind even poorer nations
4. BRICS reality check: we’re not equals
5. What happens if Trump bans U.S. investors from SA
6. Why the DA is losing credibility in the coalition
7. The myth of small business under red tape
8. Why nationalizing the Reserve Bank is a bad signal
9. The debt trap and looming financial crisis
10. What Dawie would do if he were Finance Minister

💬 “We are choosing to be poor. And we do it every 5 years at the ballot box.” – Dawie Roodt
