The 56th annual World Economic Forum ended on Friday. Attended by more than 3,000 leaders from around 130 countries, the meeting came during one of the most complex geopolitical periods in history, and at a time when many appeared to agree that multi-lateralism as it's been known for decades, is changing and weakening dramatically. Thoughts about these shifts that are usually discussed in private were spoken out loud on podiums, with once allies speaking directly against the conduct of each other. South Africa represented the country with the simple message that it was open for business and was working towards fixing its structural impediments. For more on this, Bongiwe Zwane spoke to South African international relations expert, risk analyst, and former diplomat, Dr Kingsley Makhubela and Professor of International and Diplomatic Studies at the Thabo Mbeki African School Public and International Affairs, Professor Anthoni van Nieuwkerk
