This outstanding and original work goes to the heart of South
Africa's political problems - doubts as to the sustainability of
the post-apartheid settlement, beset with divisions in the ruling
ANC, factionalism, corruption and the widening of fault-lines in
state and society. The 'leadership issue' has become key and this
will be the first specific examination of leadership in the light
of Mandela's legacy and its effect on his successor as potential
and actual leaders - all in 'the shadow of Mandela' as the
architect of the transition from apartheid to democracy, and with
overarching moral authority and international reputation. Alexander
Johnston shows how his successors are judged against Mandela's
achievements, including the potentially impressive 'lost' leaders
and concentrating on his immediate successors, Thabo Mbeki and
Jacob Zuma. The book concludes with an in-depth assessment of new
president Cyril Ramaphosa's potential to be a leader for a 'new
dawn'. This is an objective and critical work by a close observer
who acknowledges the achievement of South African leadership but is
acutely aware of the doubts as to the sustainability of South
Africa's hard won democratic settlement. An essential read for all
readers interested in leadership and in the traumatic history and
future of Africa's leading state, as the continent rises to global
importance.
