Flash Briefing: SA more popular; New Venezuelan "leader" recognised; Ramaphosa off-piste again

South Africa’s president Cyril Ramaphosa announced in Davos yesterday that the country would hold a second Investment Conference this year, to progress the plan to raise $100bn in new fixed investment in five years.
While the first day was dedicated to global environmental threats, on Wednesday challenges posed by the mushrooming of artificial intelligence took over at the top of the Davos Agenda.
In a brief statement at Davos, Brazil, Peru and Colombia have recognised the Venezuelan opposition leader, Juan Guaidó, as interim president, following an earlier declaration from US President Donald Trump.
And ending on a South African note, president Cyril Ramaphosa delivered another inspiring and unscripted speech to the annual Brand South Africa dinner in Davos last night, re-iterating the need for the country to build on its unique ability to put all the key parties around the table.
