Books
Johannesburg, Easter weekend, 1993. Nelson Mandela and FW de Klerk are in slow-moving negotiations over power-sharing when a white supremacist shoots Mandela's popular heir apparent, Chris Hani, in the hope of igniting an all-out civil war. In 'The Plot to Save South Africa', acclaimed journalist Justice Malala recounts the riveting story of the next nine days, revealing rarely seen sides of both Mandela and de Klerk, the fascinating behind-the-scenes debates within each of their parties over whether to pursue peace or war, and their increasingly desperate attempts to restrain their supporters despite mounting popular frustrations.
