Jakkie Cilliers, founder of the Institute for Security Studies (ISS), is a well-known Africa analyst and  the author of a groundbreaking book titled Fate of the Nation. The book, which President Cyril Ramaphosa reviewed as “Incisive, bold and sobering. A revealing forecast and a call to action” was written in 2017 and explored three alternative scenarios for the future of South Africa: the divided nation, ‘Bafana Bafana’ muddling along and Mandela magic. BizNews founder Alec Hogg spoke to Cilliers on the BizNews Power Hour to see whether these scenarios still hold true, particularly in light of the violent riots that spread through KwaZulu-Natal and parts of Gauteng last week. Cilliers believes that what we're looking at is a splintering of the ANC and that we face significant challenges in terms of a coordinated vision of ‘the security architecture’ of South Africa. President Ramaphosa’s biggest challenge, according to Cilliers, is modernising the ANC from the rural traditionalist party that it became under Jacob Zuma’s rule.

A South African wheelchair tennis ace has made history at Wimbledon this year, when she made the finals the singles and doubles championships. She is Kgothatso (also known as KG Montjane), who has been praised in all quarters - including some of the old legends in tennis - for becoming the first black South African woman to reach the finals at Wimbledon. In the singles, she was beaten by Dutch tennis player, Diede de Groot. Montjane told BizNews about her epic run at Wimbledon, her next challenge (the Paralympics in Tokyo) and how she wants to change the narrative around funding for Paralympic athletes. We caught up with KG shortly after the match.
