Reader Reviews
South Africa is the economic powerhouse of Africa, and its prospects should be of interest to many readers. The book discusses the turbulent recent years. Where democracy has in fact taken strong new form after the fall of apartheid. Yet there are serious unsolved issues. The legacy of the apartheid years still lingers. A large gap between wealthy and poor. There is a rising black upper and middle class. But many are relegated to a parlous working class condition of unemployment or underemployment. Worsened by a low level of education, which was one of apartheid's effects. The book describes how the economy has simply not grown fast enough to make appreciable dents in the poverty level. The reader might well be impressed by how calmly the majority of South Africans have endured their lots. But for the long term fate of the nation's democracy, the book raises dire warnings.
