The battle for influence between the African National Congress (ANC) centre and left wing will test Mr Zuma's skills as a conciliator, forcing him to make some tough choices, although the moderate viewpoint is likely to prevail.

Mr Zuma will need his skills as a conciliator to balance the demands of his left-wing allies with those of the ANC centre, although the moderate viewpoint is likely to prevail. Given the rapidly declining business and consumer confidence, the government's fiscal loosening will have a limited effect and the economy is forecast to contract by 2. b2b9828c6d658ff6d622b6a960d40ef4Mon, 14 Sep 2009 12:00:00 GBAfrica/South Africahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/africa/south_africa/south_africa_business_forecast_report.htmlEconomy Past The Worst, But Policy Risks Remain The recent wave of industrial action clearly highlights the formidable policy challenges President Jacob Zuma will face during the remainder of his time in office. With public funds limited and economic conditions unlikely to improve rapidly, Zuma will certainly struggle to fulfil his electoral promises of greater social justice and economic prosperity over the medium term. Aside from further fuelling public discontent, this is likely to create political tensions within the president's own government and maintain uncertainty over policy continuity over the medium term. 32de421a441c93e39b2d592213f0920fWed, 09 Sep 2009 12:00:00 GBAfrica/South Africahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/africa/south_africa/country_report_south_africa_august_2009.htmlYou may have noticed that since the second quarter of this year, some additional content has started to appear in your monthly and quarterly CRs.

Mr Zuma will need his skills as a conciliator to balance the demands of his left-wing allies with those of the ANC centre, while also meeting the expectations of the electorate in the midst of a sharp economic downturn.

In fact, we believe South Africa will remain one of the few major emerging markets in which gross fixed capital formation will remain in positive territory in 2009. The World Cup event in 2010 is expected to be instrumental in leading to a relatively strong economic recovery by stimulating investment, service export growth and private consumption. d964a28a7d32a7623a308dba302c3e12Tue, 07 Jul 2009 12:00:00 GBAfrica/South Africahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/africa/south_africa/south_africa_infrastructure_report_q3_2009.htmlIn BMI's Q309 South Africa Infrastructure Report we are forecasting real growth in the construction industry of 2. 52% in 2009, to reach a value of ZAR69. 70bn (US$6. e93fa636792b15e249d9c9771f4fbe15Sat, 06 Jun 2009 12:00:00 GBAfrica/South Africahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/africa/south_africa/country_report_south_africa_may_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 Jacob Zuma will be officially inaugurated as South Africa's new president on May 9th, ushering in a further five years of ANC rule. The new president will need to balance the demands of his left-wing allies with those of the ANC centre, while also meeting the expectations of the electorate, in the midst of a sharp economic downturn.

A lack of funds, limited time to build a large support base and the difficulty of differentiating itself effectively from the ANC will curtail the COPE's ability to mount a major electoral challenge. While certain aspects of the elections appear to be a fait accompli, we believe that South Africa's political future and stability are by no means as clearly mapped out as they may seem. 31e63a1fce11727b2f9ac80c2f656608Sat, 04 Apr 2009 12:00:00 GBAfrica/South Africahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/africa/south_africa/country_report_south_africa_april_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 South Africa's next general electionto be held on April 22ndis almost certain to return another African National Congress (ANC) government. The decision by prosecutors to drop corruption charges against the ANC leader, Jacob Zuma, means that his likely presidency will not be derailed by court action.

The recently formed opposition party, Congress of the People (Cope), will struggle to secure a mass defection of voters from the ANC. South Africa's president-in-waiting, Jacob Zuma, may face a third corruption trial in August, following the election, but this is unlikely to prevent him from becoming president if the ANC wins. fb81f14f30f0c566d23b8bd073b6a822Tue, 03 Mar 2009 12:00:00 GBAfrica/South Africahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/africa/south_africa/country_report_south_africa_february_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 South Africa's next general election—to be held on April 22nd—is almost certain to return another African National Congress (ANC) government.
