Former Statistician-General Dr Pali Lehohla joins Mike Sham to reveal what decades of South African data tell us about the country’s political and economic direction. He examines democratic disengagement, education, unemployment, service delivery, the ANC, MK, coalition politics and what his modelling suggests could happen at the next election.
But his biggest warning goes beyond politics: what kind of country is this generation leaving behind?

Why is data on prepaid so expensive for the poorest.
.
