Description
50 People Who Stuffed Up South Africa by Alexander Parker takes a sharp, irreverent look at some of the most controversial, damaging and notorious figures in South African history. From colonial leaders and political figures to businessmen, sports personalities and other public figures, Parker examines the people whose actions, beliefs, decisions or sheer incompetence helped shape the country’s troubled past and present.
Accompanied by the distinctive cartoons of Zapiro, the book combines popular history with satire and social commentary. The result is an entertaining but often thought-provoking look at South Africa’s political and social landscape, touching on subjects including colonialism, apartheid, corruption, political power and national scandals.
