Pan Macmillan and The Book Lounge invite you to the Cape Town launch of Turning and Turning: Exploring the Complexities of South Africa’s Democracy by Judith February.

South Africans often are deeply polarised in our perspectives of the present and the past. There is no denying that the Jacob Zuma presidency took a significant toll on South Africa, marked by cases of corruption and state capture, unprecedented in their brazenness, and increased social protests.

As an analyst and governance specialist at the Institute for Democracy in South Africa (IDASA) for twelve years, February has had a unique perch. Turning and Turning is a snapshot of her IDASA years and the issues tackled, which included work on the arms deal and its corrosive impact on democratic institutions, IDASA’s party-funding campaign, which February helped lead, as well as work on accountability and transparency.
