Cyril Ramaphosa was voted in as the new leader of the ANC on Monday night.
In his biography of Ramaphosa, Anthony Butler sheds light on the mogul’s role in Mangaung, and the controversial events surrounding Lonmin and the Marikana mines.
Based on rich interviews with many of the subject’s friends and contemporaries, Cyril Ramaphosa marries the historical context and the individual life in a way that brings the man fully to life.
‘Cyril,’ Butler says, ‘is the Forrest Gump of South African political history.’ By this Butler means that Ramaphosa has been present in the foreground of virtually every important moment in the modern history of his country.
