Recovering democracy in South Africa cover

South Africa's hard-won democracy was the main victim of the chaos in parliament during President Jacob Zuma's State of the Nation Address. In Recovering Democracy in South Africa, Raymond Suttner brings together the best of his recent thinking; he offers a fresh look at the wide range of contentious issues that currently preoccupy South Africans, from the threat to constitutionalism to problems with leadership and questions of ethics. The book is as much an in-depth engagement with our difficult present as it is a damning account of the politics of the Zuma era.

"At great personal cost, Raymond Suttner frequently confronts us uncomfortably with our shortcomings. His voice rings true with the aspirations which inspired the struggle for democracy in South Africa." - Hugh Corder, Professor of Public Law, UCT. "I listen to Raymond Suttner's interviews religiously because they give deep and fresh insights into the thinking and evolution of the ANC as a political party, as an alliance partner and as a governing party. His understanding of politics and its interconnection with law and the Constitution makes his contributions to the debates rich, challenging and yet measured." - Halton Cheadle, author of SA Constitutional Law: The Bill of Rights.
