CONTESTED TRANSITION
REFLECTIONS ON SOUTH AFRICA’S EDUCATION SYSTEM 1994-1999
N Chabani Manganyi, Ahmed Essop, Ranwedzi Harry Nengwekhulu
The chapters that comprise this book are personal accounts of the immediate post-apartheid years in South Africa’s educational history. They form part of a growing genre of writing in the country – public figures recounting their time in office from a personal perspective.
These chapters offer us glimpses into a particularly turbulent period of history, a period whose memory is now highly contested. Although the contributors deal with the same period as all three worked in the same Department of Education, they write from different vantage points.
