Author Brent Meersman chatted to governance specialist and columnist Judith February recently about his latest book Rattling the Cage: Reflections on Democratic South Africa.

Most South Africans have strong views on our past and present, often based on how we have been personally affected by history.

In Rattling the Cage, Meersman asks: How well-examined and solid are these positions?

The book takes the reader on an informed tour of the South African reality: from the highs and lows, and the successes and failures.
