RW Johnson: Implications for SA of a suddenly fragile Putin; Ramaphosa bombing in Paris

Political scientist RW Johnson reckons there are significant implications here in South Africa after the weekend's aborted coup in Russia by Prigozihn's Wagner forces.

Plus, he is scathing about SA president Cyril Ramaphosa's performance at the Paris summit which raises serious questions about his grasp of geopolitics and economics.
