This book is a journey of triumph and setback, of building something good in a world that doesn’t always welcome it. It’s about allies and adversaries, mentors and obstacles. Above all, it’s a story driven by social justice and the power of education to change lives and the resilience it takes to protect that power when it’s most at risk. A fascinating South African memoir that shares a story of hope and resilience.

At school, James Urdang was a troublemaking underachiever. Diagnosed with ADHD and Dyslexia at an early age, few could have imagined he’d go on to found Education Africa, an organisation that has helped educate thousands of young black South Africans.

Supported and mentored by Walter Sisulu, Nelson Mandela and Dr. Aggrey Klaaste − former Editor-in-Chief of The Sowetan – who became the organisation’s first chairman in 1992 − James, driven by determination and sheer audacity made his dream a reality. Until one day it all came crashing down as he faced a gruelling battle to save his NPO, Education Africa, from a hostile takeover by executives from a global financial institution.
