The damage that was done to South Africa’s economy over the past nine years before Cyril Ramaphosa became President has had huge impact on the investability of the mining sector, Minerals Council of South Africa CEO Roger Baxter said on Tuesday. "A year ago we arrived in Cape Town for the 2018 Indaba, there was cautious hope in the business community and as well as the South African political centre was going to change for the better, and this was because Cyril Ramaphosa had just been elected the [African National Congress] ANC President the previous December," he said.
