"Compromised at every level": Hersov on Ramaphosa, ANC rot, and the way forward - BNIC#2 Q&A

Loading player...
At BNIC#2 in Hermanus, entrepreneur and outspoken activist Rob Hersov delivered a wide-ranging Q&A that touched on the potential of Patrice Motsepe as South Africa's president, the paralysis of Cyril Ramaphosa, and why Cape independence is improbable but federalisation viable. Hersov praised Motsepe’s integrity and business acumen, blasted the ANC’s culture of mutual compromise, and called for stronger protection of whistleblowers. He also offered bold perspectives on Trump’s record, America’s ties to the Western Cape, the transformative role of AI, and the need for coalitions to shift South Africa in the right direction.
