Publisher's summary

South African politics is riddled with delusions. Many common political arguments come pre-packaged in an old and dusty box - but the self-evident truths are not, in fact, so indisputable. Sizwe Mpofu-Walsh sets out to dismantle that box. He argues that free education is far from impossible, the ANC's liberation narrative is too idyllic to swallow, land reform is not the first step to chaos, and the media is not free.... In this incisive, informed book, we find not only challenges to commonly held opinions, but optimism about South Africa's future, and solutions to old problems. A fresh perspective on South African politics.

Not That You'll Agree with It All

But you'll probably recognize that it's a well argued, well written brief for the author's 10 count indictment of the ANC. It so lucidly expostulates that you carefully consider the evidence & argumentation it musters. And however much you do disagree, you will likely appreciate the author's fresh, sometimes morally profound perspectives.
