Nelson Mandela has been free for three years and is in power sharing talks with President FW de Klerk when a white supremacist shoots the Black leader's popular young heir apparent, Chris Hani, in hopes of igniting an all-out war. Will he succeed in plunging South Africa into chaos, safeguarding apartheid for perhaps years to come? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Plot to Save South Africa\u003c\/i\u003e, acclaimed South African journalist Justice Malala recounts the gripping story of the next nine days, as the government and Mandela's ANC seek desperately to restore the peace and root out just how far up into the country's leadership the far-right plot goes.
