Lebohang is the Managing Director of the Four Rivers Trading Consultancy and a research fellow at the progressive think tank, The Trade Collective.
Her areas of interest include the regional political economy, globalization and the movement of people, among other things. She is a feminist and an Africanist and this perspective guides her research and analysis.
We had a wide-ranging discussion that started with a look at the mid-term budget review that was presented last week and went on to look at the structure of the South African economy, the future of state-owned power utility Eskom and the need to resolve the land question.
Lebohang spoke about the right of all South Africans to relevant education and efficient medical care.
It was a fascinating discussion that gave me new perspectives on the challenges facing efforts to restructure our economy and our society as a whole.
