Beskrivning

A politically incorrect and humorous read, this racial satire will challenge one’s perspective of today’s South Africa. The title of the book comes from the African adage that says “the black man’s medicine is a white man”—an egregious statement that implies that black people won’t do anything right unless there is a white man around. This book takes a tongue-in-cheek look at economic freedom, suggesting that although South African apartheid was a terrible and unfortunate part of history, it should no longer define the present challenges or prevent the myriad opportunities for success. Introducing the idea of self-economic empowerment, this book envisions a new Africa where people work hard and life is decent.
