The years Jacob Zuma ruled and misruled South Africa have brought out a number of studies trying to describe and explain the country's decline.First in 2012 two eye-opening publications appeared about the previous period: Sampie Terreblanche published Lost in Transformation and Willie Esterhuyse came with Endgame: Secret Talks and the End of Apartheid.Terreblanche's book, along with Esterhuyse's, is essential for understanding how Nelson Mandela made a quid pro quo deal with the (white) corporate sector so that the ANC elite reaches the same life standards as the white elite.
