RW JOHNSON’S BEST-SELLING How Long Will South Africa Survive? was hailed by financial writer Alec Hogg as ‘a masterpiece in unblemished reality’. Published at the height of the Zuma presidency, it accurately forecast that South Africa’s credit rating would be downgraded to junk status. Johnson warned that this sorry progress might end in an IMF bail-out and wholesale change to the political system.
These predictions, novel at the time, were quickly confirmed by events. Now, with Cyril Ramaphosa in the hot seat and an election looming. Johnson picks up the story, analysing how Ramaphosa came to power and how Zuma has fought back. Recovery from the deep economic damage caused by Zuma will not be easy and the prospect of an IMF bail-out is now measurably closer. The key question is whether Ramaphosa and his supporters can restore the lost dream of the Mandela years.
Johnson is easily the most incisive analyst of the South African situation. He offers his own suggestions for a road out of the crisis and a tough-minded assessment of where the country stands at this critical hour.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. RW Johnsons bestselling book How Long Will South Africa Survive? was described by Alec Hogg as a masterpiece in unblemished reality. Published at the height of the Zuma presidency it offered a chilling warning: the ANC appeared determined to drive South Africa into the abyss. Since then, Cyril Ramaphosa has taken over as president and there have been some attempts to clean up government. But the brief period of Ramaphoria is over and the threat to both the economy and the dream of a non-racial democracy is as real as ever. As national elections loom, Johnson examines the state of the nation with pinpoint accuracy. On the one hand state-owned institutions are near collapse, municipalities are defunct and civil strife is rampant. On the other, Ramaphosa and his team have come up with a plan to curb corruption and create growth and prosperity. But will it work? Johnson, in trademark style, picks it apart and, while doing so, offers some ideas of what he thinks is required to get us out of this morass. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Nº de ref. del artículo: GOR010635606
