Mission at Work: Minister Plenipotentiary Cassimjee Attends the Panel Discussion "South Africa: From "Ramaphoria to Disillusionment?"

On Thursday, 14 November 2019 Minister Plenipotentiary Cassimjee attended the Panel Discussion "South Africa: From "Ramaphoria to Disillusionment?" organised by Friedrich-Naumann Foundation and the German-South African Forum (DeSaFor e.V.). The panel featured Jakkie Cilliers, Chaiman of the Board of Trustees, Institute for Security Studies, Dabine Dall'omo, CEO of Siemens South- and East Africa, Moeletsi Mbeki, Political Analyst and Entrepreneur and was moderated by Mr Bussmann, Chair of DeSaFor and Ms Georgousaki, Naumann Foundation. Despite the open, constructive and frank discussion by the analysts on the panel, positivity regarding Ramaphosa's new way and his political and economic leadership largely prevailed. This is also reflected in the resulsts of a live poll undertaken at the end of the event and in which 55% of attendees responded to leave the event with a largely positive feeling towards South Africa!
