Description: The friendship between Motlatsi, former president of the National Union of Mineworkers, and Godsell, founder and CEO of AngloGoldAshanti, and now Chairman of Eskom, grew out of troubled times and deep mistrust. Their friendship survived setbacks and major challenges. Now these friends and proud citizens of South Africa lay out, in both inspiration and practice, how we citizens can forge together a common dream and a determination to transform our currently troubled country. Using personal stories about themselves and one another, and using skills that were honed as leaders in their respective organisations, Godsell and Motlatsi look into our homes, our schools, our workplaces, our communities and in the public market place of ideas to extract and propose practical ways in which we can become active citizens, taking responsibility for change, and intervening where government has either chosen not to, or where it has not succeeded.
