The Accidental Mayor

This explosive tell-all follows the three-year tenure of a well-known South African businessman as mayor of Johannesburg, and his subsequent resignation from the party and position. Written by his chief of staff, the book delves into the achievements, challenges, and controversies of his time in office, including the discovery of previous government looting, and the difficulty of working with coalition partners. The Accidental Mayor also explores the infighting and factionalism within the party, and asks whether there is an alternative for the future.
