\u201cLook at the Middle East right now, Israel and Palestine. They could have come to terms with each other a long time ago. We were fortunate that we had a Mandela\u201d \u2013 Roelf Meyer, former South African cabinet minister.\n \nSouth Africa\u2019s first democratically elected president Nelson Mandela died on this day, a decade ago.\n \nSo today, Africa Daily\u2019s Mpho Lakaje sits down with two of his former ministers, Sydney Mufamadi and Roelf Meyer.\n \nWhat was it like reporting to one of the most prominent political figures of the 21st century?\n \nBut most importantly, what type of legacy did the man affectionately known as Madiba leave behind?\n \nHis country is facing a mountain of problems including joblessness, power outages and persistent government corruption.\n \nIf he was still alive, would Mandela associate with the ruling ANC party?\n \nThese are some of the questions Mpho is asking his guests.
