Summary:
"As South Africans are increasingly faced with load-shedding, potholes and the deterioration of so many services, it is widely believed that waiting for the government to fix things is a pipe dream. Fran's Rautenbach's book explains not only how decentralised private projects can help solve these problems, but also how they can showcase free-market policy."--Publisher's description.
