THe Last Jacobins of Africa: The ANC and the making of modern South Africa
A new book ( in Kindle Format ) by Dr James Myburgh the editor of Politcsweb
https://www.politicsweb.co.za/iservi...-early-years-i
You can read an excerpt at the Amazon listing
https://www.amazon.com/Last-Jacobins...9024528&sr=8-1
I have not yet read the whole book but from the excerpt I would suggest that if you only purchase / read one book this year it should be this one !
The book content explains -- using the actual primary source documents -- exactly how the ANC hoodwinked most and grabbed power ( following a carefully worked out ( Soviet USSR ) SACP agenda
MANY popularly held beliefs / myths are going to be rudely shattered.
One is going to be left with deep unease regarding FW / the NP Cabinet / the BB / assorted others ( useful idiots )
It will appeal particularly to Messor -- and others of similar thought process. ( Although ALL thinking South Africans need to read it )

For those that claim not to read -- and appear to not be worried about becoming "bait" ..
The sheer banality of the whole thing ....
Michael Harmel (1915-1974): A South African Communist and His Discourse
Oralek, Milan
2020
This thesis explores the life and work of a South African journalist, editor, and activist Michael Alan Harmel (1915–1974), a political mentor and friend of Nelson Mandela. A resolute believer in racial equality and Marxism-Leninism, Harmel devoted his life to fighting, with “the pen” as well as “the sword”, segregation and apartheid, and promoting an alliance of communists with the African National Congress as a stepping stone to socialism in South Africa.
Part 1, after tracing his Jewish-Lithuanian and Irish family roots, follows Harmel from his birth to 1940 when, having joined the Communist Party of South Africa
