- At last week’s BizNews Conference, political scientist RW Johnson explained why, for South African voters, facts are finally trumping feelings. Drawing on developments post-1994, especially within the African National Congress, the long-time Oxford Don argued the country has now reached a point where its politics has become ‘secular’ - the old religious-type loyalty for the liberation party being replaced by a focus on realities affecting our daily lives. The consequences are likely to be reflected when votes are tallied after May 29 - with potentially dramatic results awaiting the nation.

1:28 When this humble gentleman speaks I listen, he is the brightest mind on South African politics in SA💯❤️✊🏾 bitter pills are important
What an excellent, excellent analysis by RWJ, one of the best I have heard from him. In a nutshell, this is the reason why the democratic experiment in SA MUST now be seen as having failed. The fact that the foundational Christian ideology (whether you subscribed to it or not) has been eroded completely, is the one factor that has caused our downfall. We wanted to have our rules, we made them, we now live by them and we will perish because of them.
There's always hope
Thankyou Sir 🙏
Thats a fact!! There were many jobs...its soooo sad how corrupt individuals brought this decay 😢
More jobs but couldn't use any bathroom you wanted nor buy a house where you wanted😢.... How sick are you😢
We talking jobs!! Now we know the apartheid regime were Narcissist 🥸 What would you call this bunch 🤔Yeahh!! Move On..they have virtually emptied the Coffers blatantly!! 21st Century ...state Capture..Marikana..R275 mill in a couch..plus plus..now Speaker of the House ..it's a "shit show"
Arbeit Mach Frei!! Food on the table..a man wanna feel that he can provide a decent meal for his family!!
Excellent and fascinating analysis.
😂45t😂😂😂😢
What really amazes me regarding the business community of South Africa is there total blindness to the greatest problem facing this country and that is 75% of the young people snd rising have no hope of ever finding a job. We have a business leadership that is so incompetent in the industrial world indicating that the PE tyre and car manufacturers developed to lift Shack Communities out! of poverty could not work When pointed out that all four US manufacturers and the proof factory demonstrated it would work they were forced to. with draw. the irresponsible letter to government. Engineers working in one of the car design offices develop the plan and from proof factory one and 2 confirm by the CSR we know how to lift everya major Shack community into 😊the formal economy. Both Busa and Blsa have subsequently stated in writing that's the plan works but I not prepared to support it in other words they are sabotaging the future of South Africa.
Brilliant analysis
Brilliant.
As an Afrikaans teenager of the 80's we only listened to popular music which was British/Euro (New Wave & Punk), American (Mowtown, Funk & Disco) & Caribbean (Reggae) and locally to Afrobeat (Jonny Clegg/Juluka, éVoid, Hotstix Mabuza etc.), we were só ready for change and we bought into the Mandela Dream, today much disillusioned... currently Afrikaner youth are free & proudly make traditional & contemporary music & wear khaki shorts again, ironically...❤🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Great, so You need to quickly grow up then?
Open eyes?
😂
@@joecruiser WT... what do you suggest is the answer to the sh#t in SA currently? We have lived this BS now for 30 years.
@@gysgijsbers4202 Afraid there's no answer, you cannot educate nor stop them now. SA must prepare and face the Realities of what's coming.
Maybe the SA phoenix will rise again some day ....
@@joecruiser Maybe get the Springbok Captain, Siya Kolisi, into politics with some voice projection and public speaking training.
Pity we were deprived of British television thanks to Hain .. American humour did us no favours. 😎
Excellent explanation
We really need to look at political system change. OHM is the only party talking about abolishing political parties and their funders and shifting to a direct democracy system where citizens vote from the bottom up. Where community leaders are elected directly and held accountable by the voters directly. Politicians divide us and political parties favour their donors first and then maybe the people. Democracy should be putting the power in the hands of the people and not the wealthy elite or politicians with agendas.
OHM gives great philosophical speeches but never any practical solutions to basic problems facing south africans. That's why I like Gayten Mckenzi, no bs empty words, just logic and reason.
Cant help but wonder if RW is at all in Tune with the True SA electorate Today ........
😆😆 I doubt they look at incorrect polls and base their arguments on that
Great analysis
Very interesting as always. Thank you Mr Johnson.
Refreshingly honesr
RW Johnson is a national treasure. His voice and glaring insights are going to be sorely missed one day.
Stopped watching this dude when he revealed that he suffers from TDS.
🤣🤣
Very interesting!
Spot on
ZIM Mmmmmm
🤣🤣🤣
This is the definition of insanity.
Multi Party Charter to rescue and save South Africa and its citizens.
Very interesting ✅
Mr JOHNSON in the beginning of the 60' more than 35%of English speaking voters voted for the NP.Dr VERWOERD had as a major principle to bring AFRIKANERS and ENGLISH people together..You as as a liberal voter now see what happened with the "rainbow" nation.More than one culture cannot be one nation.Artificial unity as you now refer to the ANC.What you should confess is that separate development ,like in the rest of the world,is the only feasible option.
🤣🤣🤣 where does he get his information from? This is out of touch with reality. This is what happens when you live in a bubble
Seems clear to me that you're in a tiny bubble of ignorance.
@@onlypremiumlife Nah homie I have lived in different spaces of the economic bracket since I was young like most success stories of Black Middle Class. This is a story that most White People can't tell because we are the only ones that have lived and still have a connection in rural areas, townships, towns and suburbs. This makes us have a good feel of all brackets at the same time. Imagine an old man who thinks the ordinary South African is the middle class that lives in town when in fact the ordinary South African is the guy who lives in a township where our population is densely found and surrounded by lower middle class to poor class. The only reason people have decided to vote out Ramaphosa is because he is out of touch with the ordinary ANC voter. It has nothing to do with matured voting for electricity, water and services but mainly because they see Ramaphosa no different as they see John and hence an emotional change. They choose to vote for alternatives now because alternatives are now receiving the best timing to capitalise on a failed ANC leader whom was worse than Zuma by their internal party standards. The big rise of MK party in Limpopo, MP, KZN and GP is testament to that. This will be the most highly contested election and I wish all the parties luck to pave a better way forward for South Africa any way they can
All over the place....
What exactly, if I may, has the SA past "apartment" govt, secularity and the rest of this troubled world have to do with the destruction and demise around us ???
With the Here and Now "challenges" and with vocal promises for a Zim 2.01 ?
Why is he so verbal? Did he not support the present terrorist regime? What went wrong? Kicked in the teeth. Do not get upset when you are reminded, we told you so.
Define 'support', & no he did not, at least not in the sense that I think you mean
This speech needs a Part 2. A What Next follow-up.
"Black first came first"is the best Freudian slip I've ever heard.
That was a 'g' not a 'c'. He said something like Black First Game First, probably confused himself with Game Changers which he mentions shortly after.
You see after a partied thay
Unlikely
Guys so if the Afrikaaners remembered we were both in camps we would have a different country 😢
We will talk our land back
Are you khoi? They are the only group that was indigenous to what is South Africa today. You are likely a tribe that moved south from central Africa. Why do you deserve the land without having to pay for anything? Why don’t you get land in central Africa given your reasoning that the land is yours? Please enlighten me
GOOD, Go for it then.
TALK .... YOUR LAND BACK.
🤣🤣🤣
From who?
❤profound lessons indeed. Politicians fail to honour their promises and turn to intimidation during campaign campaigns...foolish bacause voters like to punish😂
The irony of it all is that many believe Jesus is coming myself included

Ask for a refund on your English tuition fees.
Incoherent rambling and inconclusive thoughts...
Better than his shit box summary on Americans current politics though.
Who's using your family's brain cell today? When's your next turn?
The Afrikaners did’nt became English. We learned to adapt in order to survive in SA, Africa, the world. We are proud of fellow Afrikaners exceeding on a world stage speaking a high level of English but keep their identity. As for music it is a pity for some to argue that their was ‘’boere musiek’’ and then nothing. All the culture events like Aardklop, KKNK, In Die Bos is another reality that was ignored. But the trend argument makes sense.
He should run this country...
