Throughout the year many of South Africa’s leaders or leaders-in-waiting from across the spectrum are read, written about, picked apart and brought to order in the columns and editorials of Daily Maverick. Once a year many of them appear on the same stage at Daily Maverick’s annual conference The Gathering. Here’s the story about this year’s gathering, in photos. By GREG NICOLSON.
