17 February: presentation by Dr Jakkie Cilliers on South Africa’s future

On the 17^th of February the Institute for Security Studies, in collaboration with the Catholic Parliamentary Liaison Office and the Hanns Seidel Foundation hosted a presentation by Dr Jakkie Cilliers on South Africa’s future. In his paper, titled ‘South African Futures 2030’, Dr Cilliers has identified three scenarios: ‘Madiba Magic’, in which South Africa develops rapidly; ‘Bafana Bafana’ in which South Africa continues to underachieve and becomes a distinctly second tier state, and ‘A Nation Divided’ in which the economy stagnates, crime spirals out of control and inequality remains rife.
