Chester Missing’s Guide to the Elections ’14

Confused and tired? Don't know whom you'll vote for in the 2014 South African elections? Have a sneaking feeling that politicians are sneaky? Then this is the book for you Political wonk, sharp social commentator, relentless interviewer of people who try to get away from him, Chester Missing explains all of history, some geography, and the last 100 years of South African politics. He spells out in inimitable puppet fashion the must-knows, the who's who, and the what-what. This infamous puppet interviews heads of political parties, cabinet ministers, and the public protector on national television; writes for newspapers; and gets involved in debates with actual political professors on radio shows. The most satisfying part of being a puppet is that no matter what you say, you never have to take responsibility for saying it. Really, being a puppet is just like being a politician. Chester Missing is one of South Africa's most prominent political commentators. His hard hitting, no-holds-barred analysis of the nation's sociopolitical landscape leaves public figures from all sides of the fence running for cover.
