The Zuma Administration: Critical Challenges
The Zuma Administration: Critical Challenges
This collection of essays rigorously engages with the issues facing the new South African government. The contributors provide a view into the future and explore the responsibilities of Zuma administration. The book seeks to stimulate debate and thinking, to challenge entrenched views and perceptions and to break new ground. Interpreting the dynamics since the birth of democracy in South Africa in 1994, through the era of the Mbeki administration and the transition to the Zuma administration, it provides fresh perspectives on the questions of land reform, rural development, service delivery, intergovernmental relations, and poverty reduction in South Africa. Steering clear of biography, the book deals with the micro-mechanics of governance. Kwandiwe Kondlo , Mashupye H Maserumule (eds)
