Talk Left, Walk Right: South Africa's Frustrated Global Reforms (Paperback)

~ Zapiro (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Thabo Mbeki recently advocated unity with 'anti-globalisation' activists: "They may act in ways you and I may not like and break windows in the street, but the message they communicate relates." This raises two critical questions: Is the South African government genuinely opposed to what Mbeki calls 'global apartheid'? and, Are the reforms advocated by Pretoria failing - even on their own limited terms? Mbeki's critics, from left and right alike, suggest that his AIDS policies, corrupt arms deal and support for Zimbabwe's repressive regime have damaged his credibility beyond repair. Others claim Mbeki's global ambition is his saving grace. But the content of Pretoria's broader reform strategy is rarely examined.
