The Editor’s Desk: The WEF, the Joburg riots, and the President

Alec Hogg spent the week in Cape Town attending the WEF Africa summit, which was disrupted by violent xenophobic riots in Johannesburg and anti-violence protests in Cape Town. In this episode, Alec and Felicity Duncan discuss the WEF meeting and the impact that the social unrest in South Africa had on attendees. They look at what South Africa learned at the meeting and the prospects for the African continent. They also talk about Cyril Ramaphosa’s leadership and his Cabinet – and what an economy-class flight can tell us about the quality of our leadership.
