Political and economic power-holders will strive for a return to pre-pandemic ‘normality’.
- Emeritus Professor, Rhodes University
A devastating historical exposé of South Africa’s mining industry and the railway system that maximised the exploitation of cheap Mozambican labour.
The book contains major flaws, the chief of which is the lack of solid, supporting evidence. Brown claims that ‘Rhodes documented everything’ – which was not actually the case in this regard.
Rhodes was an ardent white supremacist who believed Africans to be inferior. He intended his scholarships to be for white males only. This has since fallen away.
