Loading player...
I met Skye Meaker earlier this year in Davos, the day before his 17th birthday. The lad from KZN was the youngest attendee of the couple thousand participants at the annual meetings of the World Economic Forum.

We caught up during the WEF Africa summit in Cape Town. - Alec Hogg Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
