Lost in transformation : South Africa's search for a new future since 1986

Sampie Terreblanche

"At the centre of the analysis is the unmasking of manoeuvres and backroom strategies of manipulation devised by American and British companies with a presence in South Africa, in collaboration with the Mineral Energy Complex (MEC) to circumscribe the ANC's future policies. He recounts some of his personal experiences and also exposes secret negotiations and deal-making which occurred behind the scenes - issues which ordinary South Africans would otherwise never come to know. Terreblanche also evaluates the performance of the ANC-led government since 1994, focusing on South Africa's affirmative action policies."--Back cover
