BUILDING BLOCKS TOWARDS AN AFRICAN CENTURY BY N. BARNEY PITYANA

"BUILDING BLOCKS TOWARDS AN AFRICAN CENTURY" BY BARNEY PITYANA. SOFTCOVER, IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, NO INSCRIPTIONS OR NAMES.

Pityanas introductory chapter acknowledges Mbekis pivotal role in creating South Africas post-apartheid state. Having served as president Nelson Mandelas de facto prime minister between 1994 and 1999, Mbeki was the dominant political figure in South Africa for fourteen years. Due to a long personal relationship with his subject, spanning nearly five decades (though not as a member of Mbekis inner circle), Pityanas chapter is sympathetic without being hagiographic.
