Nine days that set the course of a nation... Johannesburg, Easter
weekend, 1993. Nelson Mandela has been free for three years and is
in slow-moving power-sharing talks with President FW de Klerk when
a white supremacist shoots Mandela's popular young heir apparent,
Chris Hani, in the hope of igniting an all-out civil war. Will he
succeed in plunging South Africa into chaos, safeguarding apartheid
for perhaps years to come? Or can Mandela and de Klerk overcome
their differences and mutual suspicion and calm their followers,
plotting a way forward? In The Plot to Save South Africa, acclaimed
South African journalist Justice Malala recounts the riveting story
of the next nine days - never before told in full - revealing
rarely seen sides of both Mandela and de Klerk, the fascinating
behind-the-scenes debates within each of their parties over whether
to pursue peace or war, and their increasingly desperate attempts
to restrain their supporters despite mounting popular frustrations.
Flitting between the points of view of over a dozen characters on
all sides of the conflict, Justice Malala offers an illuminating
look at successful leadership in action... and a terrifying
reminder of just how close a country we think of today as a model
for racial reconciliation came to civil war.
