Future Tense: Reflections on My Troubled Land (Used)

By (author): Tony Leon. Former opposition leader Tony Leon draws on three decades in South African politics to reflect on what he calls the "squandered and corrupted years" of the past decade, sharing insider recollections of Mandela, Mbeki, Zuma and Ramaphosa. Written during the first Covid-19 lockdown, the book also revisits his own tenure founding the Democratic Alliance and the internal party tensions surrounding the 2019 departure of its first Black leader. Despite his criticisms, Leon argues that hope for a better South Africa remains "an improbable, but not an impossible, dream."
