Justice Malala appeared on CliffCentral breakfast this morning to talk about his latest book ‘The Plot To Save South Africa’.
The award-winning journalist, television host, political commentator and newspaper columnist’s book touch on, “a riveting, kaleidoscopic account of nine tumultuous days, as the assassination of Nelson Mandela’s protégé by a white supremacist threatens to derail South Africa’s democratic transition and plunge the nation into civil war.”
The former Burning Platform co-host Malala was on stage talking to Gereth Cliff about his thoughts and where Mzansi is heading if we don’t stop ANC from looting and stealing from the poor. He also spoke about the cholera outbreak that is unfolding in his hometown of Hammanskraal, North of Capital Pretoria.
Here’s the synopsis of the book: “Johannesburg, Easter weekend, 1993. Nelson Mandela has been free for three years and is in power sharing talks with President FW de Klerk when a white supremacist shoots the Black leader’s popular young heir apparent, Chris Hani, in hopes of igniting an all-out war. Will he succeed in plunging South Africa into chaos, safeguarding apartheid for perhaps years to come?”
“In The Plot to Save South Africa, acclaimed South African journalist Justice Malala recounts the gripping story of the next nine days, as the government and Mandela’s ANC seek desperately to restore the peace and root out just how far up into the country’s leadership the far-right plot goes. Told from the points of view of over a dozen characters on all sides of the conflict, Malala offers an illuminating look at successful leadership in action and a terrifying reminder of just how close a country we think of today as a model for racial reconciliation came to civil war.”
He also shared his crystal balls around the corrupt ANC that is unlikely to reach 50% in the City Of Johannesburg.
