A Manifesto for Social Change

A Manifesto for Social Change is the third of a three-volume series that started seven years ago investigating the causes of our country’s – and the continent’s – development obstacles. Architects of Poverty (2009) set out to explain what role African elites played in creating and promoting their fellow Africans’ misery. Advocates for Change (2011) showed that there were short-term to medium-term solutions to many of Africa’s and South Africa’s problems, if only the powers that be would take note. And now, more than 22 years after the advent of democracy in South Africa, we have A Manifesto for Social Change, the conclusion in the trilogy.
