In How to Decampaign a Progressive Governance, Nyakallo Mbali delves into the intricate dynamics of South Africa's 2024 election, exposing how white monopoly capital (WMC) systematically undermined progressive forces. This incisive political analysis unpacks the strategies used by WMC to decampaign the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) and Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK), exploring their potential as a progressive government in waiting.
Mbali provides a compelling narrative on the formation of the Government of National Unity (GNU) by the African National Congress (ANC) and the Democratic Alliance (DA), arguing that it serves the interests of WMC rather than the people. The book highlights the significant influence of money in politics, showing how financial power can shape nations, manipulate political outcomes, and perpetuate inequality.
Through detailed chapters, Mbali examines the historical context of land reform, critiques current policies, and proposes actionable steps for achieving genuine land justice. The book questions when and how the war for land will be won by the people, shedding light on the false promises and protectionism practiced by the ANC and DA.
How to Decampaign a Progressive Governance is a crucial read for anyone interested in understanding the power dynamics at play in South African politics and the ongoing struggle for equity and justice. This book offers a thought-provoking perspective on the future of progressive governance and the enduring fight against economic and political domination.
