This edition of Rational Perspective takes a deep dive into the Zuma Kleptocracy and what comes next for SA by tapping into the considerable experience of an 81-year old undiplomatic diplomat. This is Lord Robin Renwick's ninth book. It’s called – ‘How to Steal a Country.’ Although he had a 4-year spell as Britain’s Ambassador to the United States and that would be the UK’s top, foreign posting, it was his time in Southern Africa that stirred the passion. He was the Ambassador in SA in the period leading up to and following the release of Nelson Mandela. For the 20 years since returning from the UK's Diplomatic Service he has worked on helping to attract investment to SA. He says he wrote this book because "I was worried about the way things were going and to celebrate a truly remarkable turnaround."
