IN THE EARLY
1990S,
the African National
Congress
(ANC),
led by Nelson Mandela, engaged
in a historic and peaceful transition to power. For
many people, the story of South Africa ends there¬
with the triumph of the
ANC
over the bitter injustice
of the apartheid regime against the backdrop of
Mandela s astonishing reconciliatory mission.
Since the end of apartheid South Africa s
economy has grown, as has a fledgling black mid¬
dle class, and some black South Africans have
attained positions of great wealth and power-
but there remains rampant inequality amid signs
of an incipient culture of cronyism. Violence is
endemic in the townships and in the major cities.
Race relations remain fraught as whites struggle to
find their place in the new order. President Thabo
Mbeki s denial of the AIDS epidemic has led to tens
of thousands of unnecessary deaths and has been
morally and politically disastrous. His failure to check
the abuses of Robert Mugabe s sclerotic dictator¬
ship in Zimbabwe has tarnished South Africa s repu¬
tation abroad and baffled Mbeki s former friends.
South Africa stands at a precipice, and the
ANC
is at the heart of the struggle to define the future of
what should be the continent s greatest hope. After
fifteen years in power the
ANC
could still work to
contain AIDS and violence and
reignite
the reformist
zeal of the early post-apartheid years. But the col¬
lapse of neighboring Zimbabwe is a chilling example
of how a revolutionary movement can ossify in
power and abandon its ideals. Uncertainty over
South Africa s trajectory intensified when Jacob
Zuma, a
classic charismatic populist who was
embroiled in a corruption scandal, became, in late
2007,
Mandela s second successor as leader of
¡continued on back flap)
the
ANC.
The journey from Mandela to
Zuma
is a
political and moral epic, populated with extraordi¬
nary characters and with the fate of South Africa at
its core.
Award-winning journalist Alec Russell draws on
long relationships with both the country of South
Africa and its major personalities—including Nelson
Mandela, Thabo Mbeki, Archbishop Desmond Tutu,
and Jacob
Zuma—
to craft a beautifully told and
expertly researched account of what could be a
tragedy: the tragedy of hope unfulfilled.
ALEC RUSSELL is world news editor at
the Financial Times and formerly their Johannesburg
bureau chief. He previously covered the wars in the
former Yugoslavia, the end of apartheid, and Nelson
Mandela s presidency for the Daily Telegraph and
was its foreign editor from
2001-2003.
From
2003-
2006
he was based in Washington, D.C., and covered
the Bush administration. He is the author of two pre¬
vious books and lives in London.
