"Picture South Africa ten years from now: are the angry poor rising up and seizing land and businesses? Or has economic reform created jobs and growth?

Unemployment, slow growth, threats to freedom of speech, and poor education can send the country in any direction. Leading scenario planner Frans Cronje identifies the key trends that will shape our future. Will South Afrca follow the Narrow Road, the Wide Road, the Rocky Road or the Toll Road?" -- Back cover.

Will South Africa take the socialist route and allow the state to seize all wealth and land? Will the status quo prevail, and the wealth divide widen while crime soars? Do we face a pernicious erosion of our democratic rights and freedoms? Or will a rainbow rise unexpectedly?"--Back cover.

"South Africa is heading for deep trouble. Even the ANC knows it, and is consumed by fear, but - for many reasons - Cyril Ramaphosa has been unable to pull the ripcord and land the parachute safely. Here we are, then, hurtling towards the ground at terminal velocity. Can South Africa still be saved? What awaits us in the 2020s and 2030s? Will the country continue down the path of state capture, corrupt leadership and economic downturn? Or can South Africa rise from Jacob Zuma's lost decade and the devastating impact of COVID-19 to become a global economic powerhouse? And which scenarios lie in between? In this incisive book, Frans Cronje pulls no punches. He analyses where we are, boldly predicts where we are headed, and warns that there is not much time left to prepare for our future. A gripping and eye-opening read by a bestselling author and the country's foremost scenario planner"--Back cover
