SUMMARY:Why has South Africa's Economy not benefited from the GNU Dividend?
DESCRIPTION:In 2024\, the Government of National Unity (GNU) was formed – marking a significant change in the political landscape in South Africa. \nAfter 30 years of political dominance by the African National Congress (ANC)\, the GNU was formed – ushering in new political voices and participation in the economic and political direction of the country. \nThese developments were expected to usher in a new era of economic growth and investment optimism in 2025. \nWhile there are early signs of some progress\, economic growth has remained stilted and business confidence has failed to follow-through. \nJoin Currency News and Stanlib as they unpack the reasons behind this.  The event will be moderated by experienced by financial journalist\, editor and Currency News founder Rob Rose \nWhen: 16 October 2025 \nVenue: Everard Read Gallery\, Cape Town \nTime: 17:30 for 18:00 start with drinks and networking afterwards. \nRSVP to secure your seat at: taryn@2beansevents.co.za
