No White Lies: Black Politics and White Power in South Africa

by Kim Heller

My book is a compilation of 36 newspaper columns published over the past few years. I write about uncomfortable truths that we as South Africans shy away from, such as the persistence of white power and privilege, structural racism and the glaring lack of social and economic transformation and justice. I unmask the Rainbow Nation as a palace of white power, where whiteness reigns supreme, even though the governing party, the ANC, is black.

This book is rants without solutions. Stealing back the land the white man took is maybe a moral idea but there are many other things that need to be addressed which aren’t even discussed or considered. Very shallow.

Not just honest,but a brutally honest book

This book covers the gaps that are still there in our pursuit for a better life of an average South African.

Our young democracy still needs to make room for the black masses to get reparations of land, run skill development projects and lift them out of abject poverty.

Reading this book, I really did feel we have a long way to go as a country. We have come a long way, but we can't give up now.

Thoroughly enjoyed reading this work. Kim Heller's writing style is very articulate, coherent and her arguments are built ground up like a pyramid, sprinkled with some sarcasm and well thought out metaphors.

Kim Heller presents an intellectual body of work, by a resolute analyst in pursuit of the truth, regardless how grotesque.

Eagerly awaiting more work from her.

The best book ever. It’s raw and straight to the truth. Telling it as it is. If you want to understand South African current challenges this is your book. If you need economic prospects this is your book, understanding political landscape this is it.

Rubbish. Doesn’t even deserve one star.

[Clifton Coetzee · Rating 1 out of 5]

Shallow. Just a collection of personal rants.
