Motlanthe warns trust deficit, policy mismatch undermine SA economy

Former president Kgalema Motlanthe and envoy Mcebisi Jonas, speaking at the inaugural Nucleus Institute seminar, warned that a trust deficit and policy mismatch are undermining South Africa's economic prospects and global influence. This is a continuation of longstanding concerns about policy inconsistency in South Africa, but the high-level source adds weight. The warning signals potential investor unease, though no specific policy change is announced.
