In the space of one week, South Africans listened to two contrasting speeches. The State of the Nation address by President Jacob Zuma was widely criticised for being lacklustre and dull. Five days later, Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan was resoundly praised in his 2010 Budget for his economic vision and strength. In this timeous and topical new Keynote, Independent Political Analyst Daniel Silke will compare and contrast the two speeches and assess their meaning and influence on both politics and economics for the coming year. Silke’s presentation will focus on the economic path chosen by Gordhan and how this interlinks with Jacob Zuma’s Presidency and the political demands of the ANC alliance. A Tale of Two Speeches is an important keynote that cuts to the heart of government thinking and how it will affect personal, business & political relationships in the coming year. Not to be missed!
