Book excerpt: What do the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) stand for? How do they propose to nationalize mines, banks, and land? Is Julius Malema, the founder of the EFF, equipped to legislate or to lead? These tough questions are asked in The Coming Revolution: Julius Malema and the Fight for Economic Freedom. Malema is tackled on his tax woes and on the "tenderpreneur" label by Janet Smith, an executive editor of the Star. Smith asks Malema to explain, contextualize, and motivate his political agenda and the genesis of the new party. Hard-hitting and informative, The Coming Revolution disrupts the dominant South African political narrative.

Book excerpt: The one-person, one-vote elections in 1994, and the sweeping victory of the African National Congress, were historic steps in the democratic revolution in South Africa. This article explores the social character and roots of apartheid in South African capitalism and the tasks of toilers in city and countryside in dismantling the legacy of class and racist inequality.

Book Synopsis The Coming Revolution by : Ali Mjella

Book excerpt: The book analyses the principal socio-economic problems afflicting Sub-Saharan Africa. It advances the hypothesis that Africa hitherto has never been a master of its own destiny and hence giving way to external influences to determine the causes and solutions of its main problems due to a major system flaw. The slave trade and its abolition, colonisation and the demarcation of national boundaries, economic participation in the globalised environment, aid, the containment of famines and civil wars have all been directly linked to the influence of external forces. The lack of enduring institutions within the systems of Sub-Saharan Africa is the chief cause for this pervasion. The slave trade and its abolition took place without Africa's active participation. The major decisions today affecting Sub-Saharan Africans are exogenous in origin. After the slave trade colonisation came to Africa after which independence was granted. The elites who took over did not possess the agenda for socio-economic transformation of society. They had a narrow agenda for self-advancement. Consequently corruption and repression have reigned and Africa has not only lost the opportunity to tackle the pressing problems of its peoples i.e. crushing poverty, ignorance and diseases but has also squandered most of what had already been accumulated at the time of independence. These conditions have led to aid dependence, famine and the spectre of civil wars that threaten to engulf the entire sub-continent. Forty years after independence Sub-Saharan Africa is still brazenly courting outside help in the form of aid for the containment of famine, financing of economically collapsing governments and the pacification ofcivil wars. Nevertheless Africa's turn to come of age to reverse this process of decline and reinvent itself is urgently needed and long overdue. Socio-economic transformation of societies requires purposeful actions as testified by South East Asian nations in the contemporary world and Russia during the reign of Peter the Great and Japan during the Meiji Emperors. The problems of Sub-Saharan Africa are deeply rooted due to the absence of enduring institutions that can only be provided and guaranteed continuity in an environment where the social culture is strongly oriented towards reading, writing and hence record keeping. Leaving developed knowledge and historical records in the custody of storytellers entails enormous risk in terms of loss of knowledge and colossal impracticality of perfecting it. To develop, Sub-Saharan Africans require embarking on an era of enlightenment by eclectically adapting the best of worlds in the West and East. If transformation of Sub-Saharan Africa does not take place voluntarily change shall again be initiated by outside powers including the prospect of a blatant re-colonisation. For efficient utilisation of non-renewable resources is a compulsory quest throughout the world in order to support the growing populations of the world as long as possible. Efficient utilisation in certain parts alongside inefficient utilisation in Africa cannot forever be allowed to continue. The book raises the relevant issues that are required to be discussed and said about Sub-Saharan Africa. It is an unflattering handbook for change in the sub-continent. It is compulsory reading for policy makers, donors, academics, as well as the general public.
Book Synopsis Wines of the New South Africa by : Tim James
Download or read book Wines of the New South Africa written by Tim James and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2013-07-18 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sought after by European aristocrats and a favorite of Napoleon Bonaparte, the sweet wines of Constantia in the Cape Colony were considered to be among the worldÕs best during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. During the first democratic elections in 1994, South Africa began to re-emerge onto the international wine scene. Tim James, an expert on South African wines, takes the reader on an information-packed tour of the region, showing us how and why the unique combination of terroir and climate, together with dramatic improvements in winemaking techniques, result in wines that are once again winning accolades. James describes important grape varieties and wine stylesÑfrom delicate sparkling, to rich fortified, and everything in betweenÑincluding the varietal blends that produce some of the finest Cape wines. Anchoring his narrative in a rich historical context, James discusses all the major wine regions, from Cederberg to Walker Bay, complete with profiles of more than 150 of the countryÕs finest producers.
Book Synopsis South Africa’s Suspended Revolution by : Adam Habib
Download or read book South Africa’s Suspended Revolution written by Adam Habib and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 2013-09-18 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: South Africa’s Suspended Revolution tells the story of South Africa’s democratic transition and the prospects for the country to develop a truly inclusive political system. Beginning with an account of the transition in the leadership of the African National Congress from Thabo Mbeki to Jacob Zuma, the book then broadens its lens to examine the relationship of South Africa’s political elite to its citizens. It also examines the evolution of economic and social policies through the democratic transition, as well as the development of a postapartheid business community and a foreign policy designed to re-engage South Africa with the world community. Written by one of South Africa’s leading scholars and political commentators, the book combines historical and contemporary analysis with strategies for an alternative political agenda. Adam Habib connects the lessons of the South African experience with theories of democratic transition, social change, and conflict resolution. Political leaders, scholars, students, and activists will all find material here to deepen their understanding of the challenges and opportunities of contemporary South Africa.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Definitive Guide to Doing Business in Africa For global and Africa-based companies looking to access new growth markets, Africa offers exciting opportunities to build large, profitable businesses. Its population is young, fast-growing, and increasingly urbanized--while rapid technology adoption makes the continent a fertile arena for innovation. But Africa's business environment remains poorly understood; it's known to many executives in the West only by its reputation for complexity, conflict, and corruption. Africa's Business Revolution provides the inside story on business in Africa and its future growth prospects and helps executives understand and seize the opportunities for building profitable, sustainable enterprises. From senior leaders in McKinsey's African offices and a leading executive on the continent, this book draws on in-depth proprietary research by the McKinsey Global Institute as well as McKinsey's extensive experience advising corporate and government leaders across Africa. Brimming with company case studies and exclusive interviews with some of Africa's most prominent executives, this book comes to life with the vibrant stories of those who have navigated the many twists and turns on the road to building successful businesses on the continent. Combining an unrivalled fact base with expert advice on shaping and executing an Africa growth strategy, this book is required reading for global business executives looking to expand their existing operations in Africa--and for those seeking a road map to access this vast, untapped market for the first time.
Book Synopsis From Revolution to Rights in South Africa by : Steven L. Robins
Download or read book From Revolution to Rights in South Africa written by Steven L. Robins and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2010-11-18 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author argues for the continued importance of NGOs, social movements and other 'civil society' actors in creating new forms of citizenship and democracy in South Africa. Critics of liberalism in Europe and North America argue that a stress on 'rights talk' and identity politics has led to fragmentation, individualisation and depoliticisation. But are these developments really signs of 'the end ofpolitics'? In the post-colonial, post-apartheid, neo-liberal new South Africa poor and marginalised citizens continue to struggle for land, housing and health care. They must respond to uncertainty and radical contingencies on a daily basis. This requires multiple strategies, an engaged, practised citizenship, one that links the daily struggle to well organised mobilisation around claiming rights. Robins argues for the continued importance of NGOs, socialmovements and other 'civil society' actors in creating new forms of citizenship and democracy. He goes beyond the sanitised prescriptions of 'good governance' so often touted by development agencies. Instead he argues for a complex, hybrid and ambiguous relationship between civil society and the state, where new negotiations around citizenship emerge. Steven L. Robins is Professor of Social Anthropology in the University of Stellenbosch and editorof Limits to Liberation after Apartheid (James Currey).

Book Synopsis The Americans Are Coming! by : Robert Trent Vinson
Download or read book The Americans Are Coming! written by Robert Trent Vinson and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 2012-01-15 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than half a century before World War II, black South Africans and “American Negroes”—a group that included African Americans and black West Indians—established close institutional and personal relationships that laid the necessary groundwork for the successful South African and American antiapartheid movements. Though African Americans suffered under Jim Crow racial discrimination, oppressed Africans saw African Americans as free people who had risen from slavery to success and were role models and potential liberators. Many African Americans, regarded initially by the South African government as “honorary whites” exempt from segregation, also saw their activities in South Africa as a divinely ordained mission to establish “Africa for Africans,” liberated from European empires. The Jamaican-born Marcus Garvey’s Universal Negro Improvement Association, the largest black-led movement with two million members and supporters in forty-three countries at its height in the early 1920s, was the most anticipated source of liberation. Though these liberation prophecies went unfulfilled, black South Africans continued to view African Americans as inspirational models and as critical partners in the global antiapartheid struggle. The Americans Are Coming! is a rare case study that places African history and American history in a global context and centers Africa in African Diaspora studies.
