Coolabah

This monograph is an edited version of interviews with the South African human rights activist and presidential candidate for the 2024 South African elections, Zackie Achmat, and the writer-scholar Shaun de Waal, respectively. The conversations took place in Cape Town and Johannesburg in 2023, when the author/interveiwer traveled to South Africa to conduct research on medical humanities at the Wits Institute for Social and Economic Research (WiSER) of the Witwatersrand University in Johannesburg. The interviews explore the links between political accountability, good governance, health, culture and socio-economic development in the context of post-COVID19 South Africa.
