Laying Ghosts to Rest: Dilemmas of the Transformation in South Africa by Mamphela Ramphele is a powerful and candid examination of South Africas post-apartheid journey. Drawing on her experience as a medical doctor, anthropologist, activist, and former World Bank managing director, Ramphele confronts the lingering ghosts of racism, sexism, and ethnic chauvinism that continue to haunt the nation.
She explores how the democratic transition, while politically successful, has struggled to deliver social equity and emotional healing. The book critiques the unintended consequences of government policies, the erosion of moral leadership, and the persistence of inequality. Ramphele argues that true transformation requires not just institutional reform, but a deep reckoning with personal and collective histories. Her call is for citizens to take responsibility, confront uncomfortable truths, and build a democracy that serves all South Africansnot just a privileged few.
