About this episode

In July, South Africa unveiled a new coalition government, after the ruling African National Congress (ANC) party lost its majority in May's elections. The coalition was welcomed by the business community who said it would ensure economic stability. So what's happened since? And will any optimism last? We hear about a reduction in power cuts - also known as loadshedding - and positivity on the stock market, as well as young people who are looking forward to the future. Produced and presented by Rob Young (Image: A worker connects a diesel generator to supply power to a sports complex during loadshedding in Frankfort, South Africa, in June 2023)
