because apartheid gives the current regime an excuse to try communism even though it has killed more people in the history of mankind than ANY other ideology? .... riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight
Marxism is an easier shift for a Forefather worship culture to make than one much bigger jump to capitalism

They are not capable of delivering on any of those points - mainly due to their false sense of entitlement.

It's obviously aimed mainly at younger people. Not a bad initiative.

Younger people, with that token book selection for not so young communists ...
Encourage anyone. Communist or not.
“This is where we share current and past reads; where we compliment and critique writers and their readers, and where we engage with seriousness and fun for the sake of building a community around reading and all it inspires,” said the NRC.
As I said, it doesn't look like it's aimed at the average N&CA poster.

The book selection is compiled to further the ANC's agenda, and definitely not to promote reading of books in general. If the audience can read the first 4, they doing good, the rest are likely to fly somewhere way over their heads.

Besides, those that it is purported to target, are mostly going to be unaware of or esteemed president's generous "gift", and those that are would rather use their precious data, to whatsapp their mates, rather than download books the have little interest in reading.

So the effort is just window dressing - and nothing more nor less.
