SA Institute of Race Relations The Daily Friend Show

Mr Ramaphosa goes to Washington

--:--
In this episode of the Daily Friend Wrap, Hermann Pretorius and Marius Roodt take a look at the upcoming meeting between Donald Trump and Cyril Ramaphosa. What would be a good outcome? What wouldn't? And what should we make of the issues that become so hot that reasonable debate can't touch them? Also of importance today are the mutterings that a new GNU budget might be starting to materialise with cautious positivity coming from negotiations between the DA and the ANC.
