AUDIOBOOK | Roelf Meyer A Political Memoir by Anneliese Burgess, Roelf Meyer

Born into Afrikaner nationalism, Roelf Meyer rose through the ranks of the National Party in the 1980s and became its chief negotiator at the high-stakes talks to end apartheid. His special bond with Cyril Ramaphosa, chief negotiator of the ANC, proved critical. He sheds light on their relationship, which played a role in Meyer’s appointment 30 years later as US ambassador, and answers the question: what does it take to negotiate peace between seemingly irreconcilable parties?
