It is more than an amusing sideshow, Leon points out. By manipulating the inflation figure, Kirchner is able to cheat buyers of inflation-linked bonds out of money. Members of the embassy staff, by contrast, are not princesses.
The Accidental Ambassador, by D A Barr
They are professional to a fault, Leon discovers. Dirco itself runs a very tight ship and is proud of its clean status with the auditor-general, going so far as to warn Leon not to tarnish its reputation by spending improperly. Baleni shows big eyes at the thought. In South Africa, Julius Malema advocates nationalisation in a populist assault on the investment community.
Product description
But Malema is disciplined, sidelined and fired. Newspapers, which are critical of her administration, are victimised. The tax collection agency is used to target dissenters. There is a queue for the pastry and then a second queue to pay for it as an old shopkeeper thumbs his way through an order book in which each and every sale is recorded.
Meals frequently take place in the early hours of the morning, leading to unproductive mornings. On tour with The Accidental Ambassador , his book on his experiences, he is back home and lighter and freer than when he left. He is at pains to point out that he remains somewhere in the DA firmament, but there is just a hint of bitterness. The irony — and in South Africa there is always irony — is that Leon and Zille have, sometime in the last five years, quietly passed each other like ships in the night. Zille has gone in the opposite direction — from independent journalist and NGO leader to party partisan.
Leon, on the other hand, has had a relatively easy walk from politics to freedom. Win with the Sunday Times and Kobo: To enter, join us on Twitter using the hashtag STbooks and tell us what you are reading. We will choose a weekly winner in a random draw.
