Description: "Picture South Africa ten years from now: are the angry poor rising up and seizing land and businesses? Or has economic reform created jobs and growth? Is an increasingly desperate government clamping down on freedoms? Or do the middle class still braai in suburban bliss? South Africa is at a tipping point, and small shifts in political and economic conditions can bring about dramatic changes. Unemployment, slow growth, threats to freedom of speech, and poor education can send the country in any direction. Leading scenario planner Frans Cronje identifies the key trends that will shape our future. Will South Afrca follow the Narrow Road, the Wide Road, the Rocky Road or the Toll Road?" -- Back cover.
