Owning The Future - Lindiwe Mazibuko And The Changing Face Of The DA (Paperback)

An unauthorised biography of Lindiwe Mazibuko, the first black person to lead the parliamentary opposition in South Africa.

Owning The Future is a crucial overview of the Democratic Alliance ahead of the 2014 general elections and a tale of the remarkable campaign led by a young team of MPs to replace a member of the old guard.

Chapters include:

• Who is Lindiwe Mazibuko?
• “Cheeky Blacks”. What does the profile of Mazibuko – and how Julius Malema denigrated her - say about being young, black and powerful in South Africa today?
• “Dirty Laundry” For the first time in Opposition history, the intrigues surrounding an internal party election spilled over into local media.
• “Let’s talk money” Unpacking the DA's economic policies and how Mazibuko supports these.
