Book still in a great condition - Looks new and unread to me BUT there is a gift message inside. >>> In 1977, RW Johnson's best-selling How Long Will South Africa Survive? provided a controversial and highly original analysis of the survival prospects of the apartheid regime. Now, after more than twenty years of ANC rule, he believes the situation has become so critical that the question must be posed again. He moves from an analysis of Jacob Zuma's rule to the increasingly dire state of the South African economy, concluding that the country is heading towards a likely International Monetary Fund bail-out which will in turn lead to a regime change of some kind. Johnson's analysis is strikingly original and cogently argued. He has for several decades now been a senior international commentator on South African affairs, known for his lucid analysis and complete lack of deference towards the conventional wisdom. He writes without fear or favour. This is a book for every South African. (Goodreads) >>> But let me not spoil it for you. This is a masterpiece in unembellished reality. It takes time to read and digest as Johnson unravels the extensive webs of corruption. But persistence by the author and the reader rewards us with an understanding of a pillaging structure resembling a feudalistic medieval European King, his Barons and lesser nobles, all bound together in thievery.
