Meyer, who addressed the PSG Think Big Series webinars yesterday, said role players in the gathering should include business, government, labour, civil society and political leaders, among others.

JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA - 28 August 2008: Former ANC chief negotiator, Cyril Ramaphosa and former National Party and government chief negotiator Roelf Meyer at the Action Far Safe South Africa, held at Vodaworld in Midrand, Johannesburg, South Africa on 28 August 2008.

South Africa must organise a Codesa-styled economic model to address inequality, poverty and unemployment otherwise pay a price with an even bigger revolt than the recent unrest. Meyer said the current economic model followed since 1994 had failed to address the socioeconomic conditions of the country’s majority because it’s an inheritance from the apartheid past.“Let’s be honest with ourselves, we made a successful political transition, but socioeconomic transformation didn’t happen. It’s now 27 years later,” he said.

On the constitution, Meyer said the fact that the country remained a “functioning democracy” after the recent unrest proved that “we are in good shape, we are going in the right direction”.
