Om denne e-bog
In October 2015, the Gupta brothers offered Mcebisi Jonas the position of minister of finance in exchange for R600 million. Then deputy minister of finance, Jonas turned down the bribe and a period of deep introspection followed for him.

In this important and authoritative book, Jonas first unpacks and analyses the current badlands of the South African economic and political landscape.
In the second half, Jonas proposes a series of workable and practical solutions for transitioning South Africa into a growing, job-creating country including:

- nurturing a corruption-free, high-performance state built on meritocracy and innovation; and
- changing the nature of politics.
Time is of the essence and the window of opportunity is narrowing for all South Africans to work together towards the South Africa we all imagined was possible in 1994.
