After being in KZN for three weeks, unable to return to Stellenbosch when I had intended to, I am finally back in Stellenbosch podcasting again. My time at home sadly coincided with a very unfortunate set of events that laid bare - for the whole world to see - our fragilities as a country.

Joining me to discuss these events is the leader of the Democratic Alliance, John Steenhuisen. We discuss the causes, response, and consequences of the civil unrest that broke out in parts of the country. We then look at what this means for South Africa going forward. How will it affect our international image, fiscus, and political stability? The lives lost, the racial tensions, and the impact on the economy are discussed.

John then proposes alternative solutions.
