Cyril Ramaphosa : The Path to Power in South Africa EPUB
by Ray Hartley
EPUB
Description
For a long time, Cyril Ramaphosa was the nearly-man of South African politics.
He was Nelson Mandela's preferred successor, but the ANC opted for his rival, Thabo Mbeki, as the second post-apartheid president.
Ramaphosa had led South Africa's huge mineworkers' union against the apartheid regime and was the key architect of the much-praised 1996 'rainbow' constitution.
He later prospered in business on the back of the first big empowerment deals with white-owned enterprises, before returning to politics and the ANC in 2012. His eyes firmly on the prize, Ramaphosa played a long game as President Zuma became mired in scandal.
In early 2018, Deputy President Ramaphosa persuaded the party to throw out Zuma and install him in his place.
Announcing a 'new dawn', he has captivated the nation, but now faces his greatest challenge: fixing a broken economy, weeding out Zuma's corrupt minions and the legacy of 'state capture' by the Gupta brothers, and delivering on the promise of a better life for the poor. This captivating biography outlines Ramaphosa's extraordinary political and business career.
It tells the story of one of the greatest political comebacks of modern times.
