With a new president, a sense of optimism returns to South Africa


The recent palace coup within the ruling African National Congress – and so South Africa – feels a little like that. It's also a place where Nzala sees economic influence in South Africa still lying with a white minority, no matter the government in charge. Ramaphosa's credentials are impressive: one of the negotiators who transitioned South Africa from an apartheid state to democracy and the chief shepherd of the country's constitution. It's also no longer a given in South Africa that liberation credentials will translate into electoral support – at least not with the younger generation. University of Cape Town student Kerusha Govender, 25, is skeptical that a change in leadership will lead to major changes.
