the country's economy contracted 3.2 percent in the 1st quarter now south africa's economy has already shrunk by the largest amount in a decade largely due to a decline in manufacturing and mining it's a major blow to president cyril ramaphosa who was reelected only a few weeks ago among his election promises a pledge to fight corruption and create jobs so far though his efforts to close the poverty gap have failed unemployment remains stubbornly high with one in 5 people out of work and while the country has posted robust growth in the past those times appear to be over in the 1st 2 quarters of last year the south african economy shrank there was a recovery in the subsequent months but the figures out today have squashed hopes of it continuing so what's behind this most recent slump in the south african economy let's bring him philip vet in johannesburg he is an associate editor for business insider south africa philip good to have you on the show. south africa's economy is shrinking again how much of it can be blamed to the recent power outages that people and businesses have had to

at 150—7, south africa had a few available moves left.d his best to hoist them to 227. a modest score in the face of this indian batting lineup, which features the two best one—day batsmen in the world. rohit sharma, in second. virat kohli is by some way the best. butwhat if, just for a moment, south africa could be better? quinton de kock produced it. a man of genius succumbing to an act of genius. what followed was steadier but for india essentially, as sharma plotted his path to a reassuringly slow century. by the time he'd done it, he'd nearly won it. alongside him, almost to the end, was ms dhoni. but chris morris had worked hard for a wicked and he was not going to let anything get in his way, not even the stumps. they all count but they don't all matter. hardik pandya got india over the line. just as their world cup‘s starting, south africa's could be coming to an end. patrick geary, bbc news. isaid in i said in the post match i think it was a very professional effort from us. was a very professional effort from us. it was a very l

for south africa, finally a little pride restored.dings after that result for south africa. just their second win. they can't reach the semifinals but a bit of pride there. sri lanka's hopes have taken a blow because if they had won, they would have gone level on points with england. you may have seen that very public spat between england opener jonny bairstow and former captain michael vaughan. bairstow has claimed that people want them to fail and the media aren't supportive enough. vaughan has accused him of having a negative and pathetic mindset. here's the current england playerjos buttler their mood in the camp is still very good. naturally there are some external pressures and it would be naive to say we have got our blinkers on and are not aware of things that are going on outside or the pressure of the tournament, so i think wejust have the pressure of the tournament, so i think we just have to accept those things. that is what is going to happen during tournament cricket. we know the situation we are in, nothing has changed,

south africa were in trouble on 29 for two when the rain came. was finally abandoned with "no result". it means south africa, who lost their first three games, only have one point from four matches. their prospects of reaching the semi—finals, now looking as bleak as the weather. as simple as we have not been in this position because we have not played our best cricket so we do not deserve to be anywhere close to the top. but it is clear for us as a tea m top. but it is clear for us as a team that we need to be at our best and play well in the next five games. the next team are a dangerous team, they have shown they can win at any day but we need to play better cricket. if we do that and the results start happening then this team will get a lot of confidence from that for the later stages. on tuesday, sri lanka face banglasdesh in bristol — with both sides looking to claim their second victory of the tournament. the sri lankans were frustrated last time out when their match against pakistan was abandoned without a ball being bowled — only the thi
