in which she explores the insistent pursuit by those who should know better of policies that are destined for failure. The story of the Trojan horse is probably the most widely known example that she examines.

My fear is that change will only start when the realisation dawns in the government and the ANC that if they don’t read what the signs are indicating and change direction, and if they persist with their current policies and ideologies, they will lose elections, power, positions and perks and will be relegated to backseat politics.JOIN THE DISCUSSION:
