When Zuma Goes (Paperback)


When Jacob Zuma retires to Nkandla, what will be left behind?

South Africa has been in the grip of the “Zunami” since May 2009: Scandal, corruption and allegations of state capture have become synonymous with the Zuma era, leaving the country and its people disheartened. But Jacob Zuma’s time is running out. Whether he leaves the presidency after the ANC’s national conference in 2017, stays on until 2019, or is forced to retire much sooner, the question is: what impact will his departure have on South Africa, its people and on the ruling party? Can we fix the damage, and how?

Ralph Mathekga answers these questions and more as he puts Zumaʼs leadership, and what will come after, in the spotlight.

Reviews

WHEN ZUMA GOES by one of South Africa's most highly regarded political analysts is a polished work of singular quality. Mathekga's writing has an elegance that only the best writing has. At a time when I have enjoyed several fine books about South African politics and the future of our country by insightful writers, WHEN ZUMA GOES kept me reading through the night. It is particularly required of us that we remain well-informed at this precariious point in our young democracy. Thank you, Ralph Mathekga, for your percipience and clarity, your courage, and the courtesy with which you frame sensitive issues. I loved the skilful use of irony when this was needed, so deftly handled that it seemed almost underplayed until one saw it in full context. This is a crucial contribution for our time.
