Description: This book examines the challenges accompanying the transformation of the political economy and society of South Africa since 1994 - which now present challenges and prospects for the new administration that took office in May 2009 under the leadership of Jacob Zuma. The book provides interpretation, critique and fresh perspectives on political and administration dynamics since the birth of democracy in 1994, to the era of the Mbeki administration (1999-2008), and then to the transition to the Zuma administration. That transition was led by the now deputy president, Kgalema Motlanthe, who provided 'stop-gap' presidency from September 2008 until the new president, Zuma, was sworn into office in May 2009.
