Tara Roos cuts through the political noise with this analysis of South African politics that argues that we have entered the age of uncertainty as populism is on the rise.
She delves into the structural weaknesses, strategic miscalculations and political-party identity crises that have ushered South Africa into a new and unstable coalition era. Parties are categorised into three groups: Winners, Losers and Survivors as Roos lays out what they are getting right, where they are failing and why some have found growth while others have collapsed.
In a democracy still grappling with the promises of 1994, Where to From Here? is an account of how politicians have failed the people and how the electorate, in turn, must now demand better.
