Their meeting comes a day after the International Monetary Fund cut South Africa`s growth forecast for the next two years, citing political uncertainty.
"We concurred that long-standing structural challenges continue to weigh on growth in South Africa," Lagarde said in a statement, adding: "We consequently agreed that bold and timely reforms are needed to create an environment conducive to job creation and less inequality."
