The Subversion of South Africa by Ricardo Maarman is
perhaps the most stinging rebuke of the ANC government
since it took office in 1994. Maarman provides an
encyclopedic treatise of South Africa's past and current
reality.
It comes at a time when rampant crime, unemployment,
corruption, degrading poverty, and economic stagnation have
become common descriptors of the country. This is a far cry
from Nelson Mandela's "ideal of a democratic and free society
in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal
opportunities." If anything, South Africa has entrenched its
position of being a POSTER child of global inequality.
While others, have attributed the ANC government's
catastrophic mishandling of South Africa to sheer
incompetence and corruption, Maarman goes much further.
For him, the pattern of failure is nothing short of subversion.
His book provides a chilling account of how the politicians,
judges, mainstream media and so-called civil society have all
been corralled by foreign and domestic capital to undermine
the South African state.
Civen the current administration's seeming intent to reverse
any gains made since 1994, his account rings depressingly
true,
"Professor Sipho Seepe: A strategy consulcant, former
Deputy Vice-Chancellor University of Züluland, former
Ministerial Advisor, a renowned political analyst and
commentator."
