50 People Who Stuffed Up South Africa by Alexander Parker

4.0

Informative, entertaining and a good laugh. Alexander Parker writes well and has given everyone across the board a fair share in the dissing limelight.

When I mean across the board- there is such a diverse group of people who have had their fingers, toes and hands in royally fucking up things for South Africans.
From the ordinary guy sitting next to Alex at a dinner, to business men, warlords and presidents.
This book is a serious history lesson with great satire and lovely cartoons to go with.

I want to give it 5 stars because Alex has written this so well ... but I had to skim past some people mentioned because I didn’t find them compelling enough.

This has really provided some insight into why South Africa stands as it is today and I really recommend it to anyone interested in the country itself or even the surrounding countries.
