Roelf Meyer: Ramaphosa can put South Africa back on the high road

There were many businessmen, politicians and even journalists who disengaged emotionally and some even geographically from South Africa during the Zuma years as it seemed impossible to stop corruption threatening to engulf South Africa. One of them was former National Party cabinet minister and negotiator for South Africa's new Constitution, Roelf Meyer. Following the successful diffusion of conflict in South Africa, Meyer has spent his intermittent years advising other strife torn areas in the world on conflict resolution. He is currently advising Myanmar. When Cyril Ramaphosa was elected as President, he however decided to re-engage and has offered to spearhead a channel between the business community and the Presidency to accelerate growth in the country. He is a firm believer that Ramaphosa can turn the country around. - Linda van Tilburg Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
