When asked what the secret of his controversial columns is, he answers, ‘A good column upsets half of your readers; the secret is that it should be a different half each time.’Jansen takes his inspiration from a diverse group of people – statesmen, teachers, students, children and everyday South Africans he meets – and introduces us to them through these stories to bring us a vision of the South Africa that can be built, if only we pull together and work to heal the wounds of the past.A book to make you stop and think … and then talk about his ideas around the dinner table, in the staffroom, in the classroom or on the bus.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
