Title: Fit to Govern
First published: 2007
Description: Known as a fearless writer, Ronald Suresh Roberts explores the President's intellectual traditions and elaborates on the central ideas out of which Mbeki and the ANC are governing South Africa. Fit to govern examines the difficult issues (e.g. Zimbabwe, HIV/AIDS, neo-colonialism) that have faced President Thabo Mbeki and casts fresh light on Mbeki's logic. With his wide knowledge of history, politics, literature and debates in South Africa's media - and having had unprecedented access to the President himself, Roberts is uniquely placed to write with authority about the President. His book places the President and South Africa in a global context, recognises the many challenges that inform government and celebrates South Africa's ongoing transformation.
