Roodt spoke to the Money Show about his recovery and his outlook on the country after the robbery.
The economist wrote an open letter on Facebook “to all South Africans” outlining a three-point plan on how things could be improved in South Africa.
The economist who was left seriously hurt in an armed robbery at his home says he has no intentions to emigrate.
“Last night was the first time I slept like a baby and it takes some time to get over everything but I feel amazing, the family is all happy and it is life as usual.”
Roodt, his wife, their twin toddlers as well as his grown-up daughter were tied up in the study and held at gunpoint while the other criminals ransacked the house for valuables.
During the robbery there was a power failure in the area and he used this opportunity to free himself, the statement said.
