President Ramaphosa stated, “Land is a very broad, as well as a complex issue, and it has to be handled very delicately because around land there is quite a lot of emotion”.This is an incisive, relevant book which tackles recent, and sometimes explosive issues like the land reform and expropriation in South Africa and the outbreaks of xenophobia in same country.The essays also delve into such contentious issues as the continued exploitation of the African women and children, the need for Africa to build strong a tradition of strong institutions as opposed to strong personalities. The book highlights and celebrates the exemplary economic accomplishments scored by some of Africa`s sons and daughters in the 21st century. Considered for the 2019 Restless Books Prize for New Immigrant Writing in Nonfiction. A monumental work that delves into parental and societal intrigues. Thenjiwe Qhawekazi Gumede
