DANIEL SILKE LAUNCHES IMPORTANT NEW SOUTH AFRICAN LECTURE TITLE

For Keynotes between 1 August and 31 December 2011. 

SOUTH AFRICA TO 2012: CRITICAL ISSUES, CRITICAL DECISIONS

South Africa finds itself at a political and economic crossroads. The essence of the goodwill achieved in the drafting of our new constitution in 1994 is being questioned by the rise of a dramatically altered vision for our economic future. And, with President Zuma fighting for his own political survival over the next 18 months, this period in the country's history is likely to be fraught with uncertainty, unease and intense political debate. With his usual deep insights, analytical flair and entertaining delivery, Independent Political Analyst Daniel Silke tackles the coming political upheavals in a rational and coherent fashion - explaining the context for the looming debates and providing an understanding for the way forward. Silke's latest analysis will cover the debate over Nationalization and its likely impact on national policy; the effect of proposed changes in labour & land-related legislation; the latest trends in the domestic economy; South Africa in a changing global context; the question over whether South Africa's political future will in any way emulate that of the popular protests found in North Africa as well as a crystal-ball look at whether President Zuma can survive to lead the ANC for another five years. This Keynote is clearly one of the most comprehensive and important currently offered to the corporate and convention market. Although not someone to gloss over the real challenges facing the country, Silke's analysis is timely and provides an essential underpinning for business in the country going forward. Not to be missed.
