Business Day Dialogues: The Hangover fired up by Nando's on 11 August

At the breakfast gathering, 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 policymaking
  
• How all of the above stands to affect the country’s tentative economy

Justice Malala, one of South Africa’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, 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 have 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 are 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 South Africa.

Doug Place, chief marketing officer for Nando’s says, “The brand believes in creating conversation and reducing tension. This happens when you eat a delicious meal in our restaurants; see our advertising that uses humour as a mechanism for creating conversation and reducing tension; and by our sponsorship of the event. We are known for our courage and believe this is a courageous event that will encourage debate around pressing social, economic and political issues.”
