Description

"I am angry. I am furious. Because I never thought it would happen to us. Not us, the rainbow nation that defied doomsayers and suckled and nurtured a fragile democracy into life for its children.

I never thought it would happen to us, this relentless decline, the flirtation with a leap over the cliff."In a searing, honest paean to his country, renowned political journalist and commentator Justice Malala forces South Africa to come face to face with the country it has become: corrupt, crime-ridden, compromised, its institutions captured by a selfish political elite bent on enriching itself at the expense of everyone else.

In this deeply personal reflection, Malala's diagnosis is devastating: South Africa is on the brink of ruin.

He does not stop there. Malala believes that we have the wherewithal to turn things around: our lauded Constitution, the wealth of talent that exists, our history of activism and a democratic trajectory can all be used to stop the rot.

But he has a warning: South Africans of all walks of life need to wake up and act, or else they will soon find their country has been stolen.
