Contents:
Then and now -- KwaZulu-Natal, the world of Jacob Zuma -- The ANC under Zuma -- Mangaung and after -- The new class structure -- Culture wars -- The state's repression of economic activity -- The view from the IMF -- The Brics alternative -- The impossibility of autarchy.
Summary: In 1977, RW Johnson's best-selling How Long Will South Africa Survive? provided a controversial and highly original analysis of the survival prospects of the apartheid regime. Now, after more than twenty years of ANC rule, he believes the situation has become so critical that the question must be posed again. He moves from an analysis of Jacob Zuma's rule to the increasingly dire state of the South African economy, concluding that the country is heading towards a likely International Monetary Fund bail-out which will in turn lead to a regime change of some kind.
