Fellow Gopolang Botlhokwane speaks to political analyst and media expert Dr. Metji Makgoba about the domestic implications of South Africa’s recent against Israel at The Hague in the Netherlands, and the country’s upcoming elections in which the ruling African National Congress is expected to lose its majority. Makgoba is also an academic and teaches communication at South Africa’s University of Limpopo. Makgoba holds a PhD in journalism from Cardiff University.
Makgoba’s latest publication, “Constructing Black Economic Empowerment as a Radically Transformative Policy in South Africa,” considers the appropriation of anti-apartheid and anti-colonial discourse to justify South Africa’s Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) policy.
