## Resource

SMWX Contributor, Tara Roos, joins Dr Sizwe Mpofu-Walsh for a conversation about her new book: Where to from here? This book delves into coalition politics in South Africa and an analysis of who were the winners, losers and survivors of the 2024 election. In this conversation, we also unpack various current affairs issues like President Ramaphosa's review application of Parliament's s89 panel report, the mayoral race in Joburg and GNU dynamics ahead of a local government election at the end of the year.
