Bronwyn Williams & Giulietta Talevi | The Small Print
In this episode, Bronwyn speaks to the investing editor of the Financial Mail and Joburg resident Giulietta Talevi about the rapid demise of “the corrupt city of her dreams.” They discuss the investability of Johannesburg, the instability of coalition politics, how Joburg’s neo-feudal enclaves are accelerating the city’s demise, the importance of strategic voting, why tax revolts are a bad idea, how community-led initiatives can create confidence in the city, and why we should consider turning to the judiciary system when the electoral process fails us.
Bronwyn Williams is a futurist, economist, trend analyst and host of The Small Print. Her day job as a partner at Flux Trends involves helping business leaders to use foresight to design the future they want to live and work in. You may have seen her talking about Transhumanism or Tikok on Carte Blanche, or heard her talking about trends on 702 or CNBC Africa where she is a regular expert commentator. When she's not talking to brands and businesses about the future, you will probably find her curled up somewhere with a (preferably paperback) book. She tweets at @bronwynwilliams.

She also hosts Stock Watch on Business Day TV where she began her career in 2001 as a rookie reporter, covering companies across the JSE, as well as the broader economy and financial markets.
