    About this ebook

    Much of the country's political future is determined by the ANC's internal elections. Here political analyst Susan Booysen gives an incisive breakdown of the cutthroat elections of Polokwane in 2007 and Mangaung in 2012, which will set a course for the party and its potential for renewal for years to come - and for South Africa.
