The Smart (and Painless) Guide to South African… di Stephen Grootes
I've just come back from the launch at the Book Lounge and Stephen is as intelligent, witty and and affable as he is on radio. It was a pleasure to host the lumpen proletariat launch as it were (tomorrow is the official "ticketed" Cape Town launch) and I think it's a fantastic book. Should be prescribed reading for polsci students, journalists and parliamentarians.
In S.A. Politics Unspun, premier SA political commentator Stephen Grootes cuts through the incomprehensible political spin and media coverage out there to provide an accessible, attractive, easy-to-read road map to South African politics.
The entries are short and punchy, covering the basic structures of South African politics (Constitution, Parliament, Presidency, Cabinet etc), the major parties and players (from Aaron Motsoaledi to Helen Zille and Jacob Zuma) and the critical controversies that define our current political landscape (Nkandla, the Arms Deal, the Secrecy Bill and on). Key elements are the (even-handed) predictions for our political future and the patented Stephen Grootes Power Ratios, which rate our leading politicians by the power they wield and the moral authority they enjoy.
With innovative colour design to back up Grootes’s entertaining opinion and insight, this is the must-have political read in the run-up to National Elections 2014.… (altro)
