The economic stakes of SA's municipal elections & Govt moves to fast-track Transnet rail split

Stephen Grootes speaks to political analyst Dr Mpumelelo Mkhabela about South Africa's municipal elections taking place tomorrow and what's at stake for the country's economy. As political parties battle for control of the country's major metros, what could the results mean for business confidence, investment and economic growth, and how might another round of coalition governments shape the future of South Africa's municipalities?

In other interviews, Professor Jan Havenga, Logistics Professor at Stellenbosch University and Director of Gain Group talks about the government's plans to establish a task team to oversee the separation of the Transnet Rail Infrastructure Manager (TRIM) from Transnet. The move follows delays in restructuring the State-owned logistics group, despite 11 private train operators already securing access to South Africa's rail network.
