MOELETSI Mbeki, despite the "burden" of being the brother of former president Thabo Mbeki, has managed to carve a niche for himself as a formidable intellectual and visionary as well as being a savvy businessman.

The analyses of the book on this article, the critic makes a lot of over statement as MOELETSI being one of the most outspoken critics of his own continent?! Says who? There is Anglophone Africa, francophone, Portuguese Africa and even one that is Spaniard. Moeletsi being xenophobic himself how credible is his analysis in this perspective?Seeraj Mohamed, Paul Jourdan, David Everatt, Jonathan Jansen and Sindiso Ngwenya, are not enough contributors for a work of such magnitude, Africa is a mosaic of culture and language.
There are so many things we just don’t know or understand about Africa.
Besides, we south African see Africa in white men’s point of view
Anyway, the book itself is a good attempt, but which African politician is listen or any African for that matter?
I have the greatest admiration for Moletsi Mbeki and wish we had him as president of our country.
If this was the case we would move forward and we'd see economic growth with everyone having the opportunity to improve themselves and get ahead.
He is also prepared to ask for and listen to solutions from people with expertise and experience.
Probably because he is educated he knows help is needed from other that are educated too - not pie in the sky promises from ignoramuses.
>>This book however, does not pretend to know all the solutions to change Africa's future. But in this book Mbeki relies on experts in a wide variety of subjects, such as education, entrepreneurship, economic and social affairs, as well as mining, to describe the solutions they have come up with after years of research and experience.<< Report Abuse

Mbeki has a brain, I'm sure this book worth a read and should be shoved down the education systems throat. our kids are not exposed to this kind of intellect but rather rubbish about big brother and kadashians Report Abuse

Moeletsi should have been in the ANC's NEC and tried to influence change there. It does little to offer solutions from outside. But hopefully someone will read your book and be an SA president one day. Report Abuse

What are the Mbekis feeding their kids. They seem to have a very high IQ. Report Abuse
