Black Man's Medicine
The title of this book comes from the African adage: The Black Mans Medicine is the White Man. It implies that black people wont do anything right, unless there is a white man around, or that black people wont be satisfied with anything unless it has been done by a white man.
Black Mans Medicine is about economic freedom. It introduces the idea that SEE (self-economic empowerment) is the new BEE. Most importantly, it insists that apartheid was a terrible and unfortunate part of our shared history but should no longer define our present challenges and myriad opportunities for success. In essence this book is about moving from mud and dust, through the boardroom and on to a new Africa, where people work hard and life is decent.
Kuzwayos self-professed goal is help us see our own, familiar truths differently, just in case they have passed their sell-by date, and to question the righteousness of our rituals and to test the accuracy of our adages.
Is the black mans medicine really the white man?
This is the third book written by Muzi Kuzwayo and it follows the roaring successes of Marketing through Mud and Dust and Theres a Tsotsi in the Boardroom. It is a fun, easy read that will challenge the way we all think about our roles in South Africa today.
