Eusebius's last public contribution to the conversation about the upcoming national elections in South Africa was on 30 May 2023, the day he passed away, in which he asked if there was a viable option to the ruling party in the country. By all predictions, South Africa is likely to end up with a coalition government at a national level. We started our democracy in 1994 as a coalition with the government of national unity, are we approaching a full circle moment after May 2024? In this discussion, Lovelyn speaks to Ebrahim Fakir - Political researcher/Analyst and Mbali Ntuli, Founder of the Groundwork Collective, exploring some key questions about the performance and future of coalition governance in SA. Why hasn't our politics matured enough that we are able to do coalitions well? What does it take for political actors to collaborate properly in service of the people? How should you as a voter be thinking about the power of your vote beyond these elections?
