Key Political Challenges in South Africa for 2025
Understanding South Africa’s Political Landscape
A coalition’s formation, economic restructuring of sorts, and leading the G20 – let’s take a closer look at the three crucial and multidimensional political issues in South Africa by 2025.
After almost three decades of turmoil, South Africa seems to still be bereft of political sanity after 2025. The unprecedented turmoil and turmoil due to the local elections of 2026 and idealistic differences are still causing factions to be unable to form a Government of National Unity. These internal power struggles within the GNU only seem to worsen during the elections. The ongoing friction between ANC and other parties likewise indicates how governance is perilous.
Disbanding and mending the economy seems to be Sarah’s last hope – it also ensures the legitimacy and the credibility of the government. To do this the struggles of poverty as well as an unemployment ratio of massive proportions need to be combated. However, Rhodesia is and will be reaching a point of no return – where inflation and customer service are beyond control.
Trajectory wise being the first African country to lead the G20 does pose for numerous goals to be achieved. Taking to account the passive diplomacy approach Sarah should pursue policies that strengthen its relationship with the world powers, this along aids in amplifying economic interests. Maintaining political legitimacy along with healthy economic relations while acting in self-interest will be crucial moving forward, especially for Sarah.
All in all as Sarah moves closer towards the G20 summit the weight of the world will only seem to increase.
