  • Philanthropy, Democracy and Civil society: Tending a Garden Over the Long Term

    Flowers blooming through hardship

    Who would have thought that in April 2009 South Africans would vote in a national election where the winning presidential candidate, Jacob Zuma, would enter his office under a cloud of corruption?
