{"product_id":"9781770109810","title":"The Deal","description":"\u003cp\u003eWith a constitutional deadline of just fourteen days to elect a president, the nation held its breath. Would the ANC forge a so-called doomsday coalition with the EFF and Patriotic  Alliance, or a centrist partnership with its nemesis, the DA? What role would smaller parties play, and how would Jacob Zuma's disruptive MK party impact on the negotiations?\u003cbr\u003eThe Deal takes you behind the scenes of the negotiations that redefined a nation, providing  exclusive interviews with party leaders, unique insights and stories, thoughtful analysis and  vital context. From the exclusive Inanda Club to clandestine hotel basements and affluent  private houses on Johannesburg's Westcliff Ridge, negotiating teams met under immense  pressure. Amidst volatile markets, a skittish currency and intense social media scrutiny, every decision was critical.\u003cbr\u003eWitness the nail-biting moments as talks through bilaterals and back channels teetered on  the brink of collapse, and discover the personality clashes, factionalism and deft political  manoeuvring that ultimately led to the establishment of the Government of National Unity.  The Deal is a compelling record of history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Mandy+Wiener\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eMandy Wiener\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Mandy Wiener","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47375610904739,"sku":"9781770109810","price":360.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9781770109810_672dfe6c-6d38-40ab-800d-fd521e3ba7bb.jpg?v=1776572333","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9781770109810","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
