A quote:
“ Ramaphosa, who became president last year through internal ANC politics, won a popular mandate as the country’s leader, opening the latest chapter of a career intertwined with the birth of modern South Africa.
When Nelson Mandela walked out of jail in 1990, a youthful Ramaphosa was standing beside him as the world looked on.
It soon became clear that Mandela saw him as a protege, and Ramaphosa went on to lead talks to end the white-minority rule and to help write the new constitution.
But after missing out on becoming Mandela’s successor as president, he instead became a hugely wealthy businessman through stakes in McDonalds, Coca-Cola and in the mining and telecommunications sectors.”
