SA's investment case: it's time to stop scoring own goals

In this edition of the Business Day Spotlight, we talk about how SA’s economy is currently stacking up against its emerging market counterparts, following the unrest seen last week in Gauteng and KZN.

The discussion focuses on the impact of recent unrest on SA’s economic outlook; the growth of civil unrest in other parts of the world; the state of emerging market economies at the moment; how SA compares to other major emerging market counterparts; and performance of the Rand in recent months.
