South Africa's critical test

This year, the African National Congress - which has governed South Africa since the end of apartheid - picks a new leader.

Gideon Rachman discusses the future of Africa's largest economy with the FT's Africa editor David Pilling, and South Africa correspondent Joseph Cotterill. Hosted on Acast.
