On Wednesday 3 August, South Africans go to the polling stations. On Thursday, 4 August, results should start trickling through. By the following week, the post-election outcomes will have had a few days to properly set-in. That is why Times Media, will be hosting Business Day Dialogues: The Hangover fired up by Nando’s – what the election results really mean on Thursday 11 August at the Wits Business School.
The Business Day Dialogues: The Hangover fired up by Nando’s is a breakfast gathering at which a panel of leading political analysts will discuss what the 2016 election results mean for the future of South Africa’s democracy, the challenges and opportunities facing a country that has had little experience with political coalitions and their impact on policy making, and (perhaps most importantly), how all of the above stands to affect the country’s tentative economy.
Justice Malala, one of SA’s most respected and experienced political commentators, along with Peter Bruce, editor-in-chief of BDFM (which owns Business Day, BDlive, the Financial Mail and Business Day TV) will sit alongside the panel that will be facilitated by Jeremy Maggs. Maggs is co-presenter of the flagship evening current affairs programme News Night on eNCA, presents a daily current affairs show Power 98.7FM, and is a regular columnist for the Financial Mail.
Business Day editor, Tim Cohen, says “We need a morning like this to help South Africans make headway through the political clutter – giving an insight into what potentially lies ahead for each of us. We’ve rounded up who we believe to be the best, most informed, and most credible voices to shed light on the way the nation voted, and we’re very excited about the debate that will be stimulated.”
The partnership with Nando’s is an interesting match, with the brand often airing its (mostly irreverent and humorous) commentary on the social and political machinations taking place in SA.
Doug Place, Chief Marketing Officer for Nando’s says, “Nando’s as a brand believes in creating conversation and reducing tension. This happens when you eat a delicious PERi-PERi chicken meal in our restaurants, in our advertising that uses humour as a mechanism for creating conversation and reducing tension, and by our sponsorship of The Hangover fired up by Nando’s. We are known for our courage, and believe this is a courageous event that will encourage debate around pressing social, economic and political issues.”
