Title: We can fix ourselves
Description: "Few can contest that South Africa is in dire straits. Our economy is stagnant, unemployment is dangerously high and most state-owned enterprises are near collapse. Mosibudi Mangena, former Minister of Science and Technology, and former president of AZAPO, is convinced that South Africa can do better. In We can fix ourselves, he looks at the reasons that we are stuck.  While acknowledging other factors. Mosibudi Mangena points out the debilitating effects of a colonial mentality. He argues that Black Consciousness can provide the necessary antidote, so that we can be a more robust South African society. Scrutinising the spheres where we are failing - from healthcare, education and transport to crime - Mangena outlines practical possible solutions. He also examines our almost non-existent land reform programme, and the mismanagement of migration and immigration looking at how we can improve. Black consciousness, Mangena argues, can transform our society. South African can be a more prosperous country."--
