About the Book

An impressive mythology envelops Thabo Mbeki, Nelson Mandela's successor to the South African presidency. But key questions arise: Does he have an ideology? If so, what informs it, and how does it translate into practice? Has Mbeki managed to capture and articulate a clear vision and a sense of collective values? Does he offer the leadership that South Africa needs? The contributors to this work explore whether there is a central strand of thinking that informs Mbeki's politics and policy-making, and examine how Mbeki builds, fortifies and interacts with his core base and most important constituencies. They argue that it is important to understand Mbeki in order to grasp how the South African government operates post-1999. The book assumes that Mbeki will remain the dominant political figure in South Africa until 2009 and that his presidency will permanently mould the destiny of South Africa's political system and culture.
