"Kanthan Pillay launches his new book, 'How to Fix South Africa: An Owner's Manual' with a live audience at a special CliffCentral event. Along with Gareth Cliff and Phumi Mashigo, he touches on social grants, taxation, the NHI and more."
Could South Africa thrive?

Our country is in turmoil: political corruption at the highest levels of Government; criminals able to walk out of prison at their convenience and live lives of luxury; and power blackouts for 12 hours a day.
But we South Africans also know how to make things work!
This book is a wealth of simple, cost-effective ideas that could immediately improve our nation:
- Want to know how to revitalize tourism in SA? There's a way, and it's free!
- Transform our policing system without breaking the bank.
- Upgrade our education and healthcare without adding a cent to the budget.
- Implement a sustainable alternative to the basic income grant, while boosting the economy
- And resolve the land issue without resorting to expropriation.
How to Fix South Africa: An Owner's Manual shows how technology, innovation, and old-fashioned common sense can fix this country.
No matter who you vote for, get your politicians to drive these ideas.

Buy the eBook from Amazon — free on Kindle Unlimited, $9.99 otherwise
Buy a print to order copy from Amazon — this is the most expensive way for South Africans because of shipping charges, but inexpensive if you live in the US or Europe.
