The universal jubilation that greeted Nelson
Mandela's inauguration as president of South
Africa in
1994
and the whole process by which the
nightmare of apartheid was banished is one of
the most thrilling, hopeful stories in the modern era:
peaceful, rational change was possible and, as with
the fall of the Berlin Wall, the weight of an oppressive
history was suddenly lifted.
R. W. Johnson's major new book tells the story of
South Africa from that magic period to the bitter
disappointment of the present. As it turned out, it
was not so easy for South Africa to shake off its
past. The profound damage of apartheid meant there
was not an adequate educated black middle class
to run the new state and apartheid had done great
psychological harm too. No amount of goodwill could
wish away this legacy. Just as damaging was the
nature of the new leaders, many of whom had lived in
exile or in prison for much of their adult lives and who
tried to impose decrepit, Eastern Bloc political ideas
on a world that had long since moved on.
This disastrous combination has had a terrible
impact
-
poisoning everything from big business to
education to energy utilities to AIDS policy to relations
with Zimbabwe. All the major and many smaller but
fascinating stories are told here. At the heart of the
book lies the ruinous figure of Thabo Mbeki, whose
over-reaching ambitions led to catastrophic failure
on almost every front. As Johnson makes clear in this
remarkable, angry, entertaining book, Mbeki may
have contributed more than anyone else to bringing
South Africa close to 'failed state' status, but he had
plenty of help.
R. W. Johnson
lives in Cape Town. He is an Emeritus
Fellow of Magdalen College, Oxford, where he taught
for many years. His books include the bestselling
How Long Will South Africa Survive?
(1977),
The
Long March of the French Left
(1981),
Shootdown:
The Verdict on
KAL
007(1985),
South Africa: The
First Man, the Last Nation
(2004)
and (as editor with
Lawrence
Schlemmer)
Launching Democracy in South
Africa: South Africa's First Open Election, April
1994.
Formerly director of the Helen Suzman Foundation in
Johannesburg, his contributions to the international
press have given him an unequalled reputation as
a writer on southern African affairs. Johnson is the
South Africa correspondent for the Sunday Times. |
