Elections, elections everywhere: change is gonna come, organised crime and the underground economy.
Botswana voters have just done something incredible - they voted out the party that has been running the country for 58 years and which brought about one of the continent’s greatest economic achievements. This is just one of the surprising election results around the world, which includes elections everywhere from Japan to Moldova. And of course, there is the big one this week. Entrepreneur Mark Barnes and Business Maverick Editor at Large Tim Cohen discuss what might be underpinning these changes. Organised crime is in focus this week with the asasanation of Cape crime boss Mark Lifman. And the above ground criminality is reflected below ground too with an extraordinary number of zama zama’s being forced out of an old mine in Orkney.Production and Editing by Tevya Turok Shapiro.
