AUDIO BOOK | Being There by Tony Leon
Tony Leon is the author of six books and is the longest-serving leader of the official opposition in the Parliament of South Africa since the advent of democracy. He served afterward as a South African Ambassador to Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay.
Being There is his first-hand account from a front-row seat at critical moments in SA’s history, ranging from his role in the formation of the recent Government of National Unity to a reappraisal (based on close encounters) of some of those who made South Africa what it is today, including FW de Klerk, Nelson Mandela and Harry Oppenheimer, and key players elsewhere, such as Ariel Sharon, Yasser Arafat, Boris Johnson, and the leaders of Argentina.
