{"product_id":"9781776192281","title":"The Outsider - The Unauthorised Biography Of Herman Mashaba","description":"\u003cp\u003eAcross the world, outsiders have been penetrating mainstream politics: Volodymyr Zelensky, Donald Trump, Emmanuel Macron - and, in South Africa, Herman Mashaba, who went from being a business tycoon to Joburg's DA mayor, and now founder of his own political party.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn his trademark opinionated fashion, political scientist Prince Mashele delivers a fascinating fly-on-the-wall account of Mashaba's dramatic rise to the mayor's office, managing the fragile coalition with the EFF, falling out with the DA and starting his own party.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat emerges is a portrait of a pragmatic man with a passion for capitalism, but who defies ideological boxes. In Mashele's hands, Mashaba is also the perfect foil for our troubling political machinery, revealing ever more sharply the fault lines of our government system and rot of the ruling ANC party.\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+Prince+Mashele\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003ePrince Mashele\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Prince Mashele","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47380756922531,"sku":"9781776192281","price":330.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9781776192281_9f4c13ee-89ab-468f-b1bd-c58d83546a3b.jpg?v=1776581070","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9781776192281","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
