Following the success of We Need to Talk, published in 2011, comes a new collection of Jonathan Jansen’s columns originally published in The Times newspaper. Jansen’s decidedly non-PC views are organised around four action areas critical to all South Africans: Education (schools and universities); The Future (young people and their futures); Service Delivery (stories about failures of government and institutions); and Hope (stories to inspire). Jansen takes his inspiration from a diverse group of people - statesmen, teachers, students, children and everyday South Africans he meets - and introduces us to them through his columns. Bound to make you stop and think, and then we hope develop your own plans to act to change lives.
