President 2019
As the cliché goes, this year’s national elections are the most important since democracy. But haven’t they all been since 1994? Beyond the question of the winning margin, another question has been lurking, namely, what kind of
President will the elections deliver?
After nine years of a rampant Jacob Zuma presidency and roughly 16 months of a tentative Ramaphosa presidency,
in what ways do the 2019 National Elections results strengthen, weaken
or complicate the presidency?
This, and related questions, will be explored by Prof Tinyiko Maluleke,
a leading and internationally recognised researcher, specialising in religion and politics.
