Summary

"As South Africans prepare to vote in their second post-apartheid elections. Professor Jack Spence of the Royal Institute of International Affairs has assembled a collection of expert essays assessing President Mandela's government and the landscape ahead under his probable successor Thabo Mbeki." "Ranging from veteran journalist Stanley Uys's acute analysis of the future shape of the African National Congress to Jesmond Blumenfeld's unsentimental examination of the ANC's efforts to address apartheid's economic legacy of weak growth and chronic inequities, these essays offer an informative yet highly readable guide to the complexities of post-apartheid South Africa."--BOOK JACKET.
