About this ebook
Hope & Fear is a selection of speeches and writings by Tony Leon, former leader of the Democratic Alliance (DA) and its predecessor, the Democratic Party (DP). It records a period in which Leon took the party from the edge of political extinction to the centre of political debate and massively increased voter support. Leon speaks and writes with style, insight and candour on the critical issues involved in South Africa's transition from apartheid to democracy, including constitutional issues, the nature of modern liberalism, the power of the African National Congress (ANC), justice and policing, economic liberation, higher education and the challenge of rapid urbanisation. The entries in the book were selected and edited by Professor David Welsh, retired Professor of African Studies at the University of Cape Town, and the book includes a foreword by distinguished parliamentarian Helen Suzman.
