Imraan Buccus launches his new book, “Promises and Peril,” at a book event in Cape Town, where he delivers a sharply critical message about current African National Congress (ANC) leadership. According to reporting on the event, political analyst commentary frames the discussion around a perceived generational divide, contrasting today’s ANC leaders with the generation that fought apartheid.

The launch includes the presence of prominent struggle veteran Albie Sachs, who is described as attending the event. While the available coverage focuses mainly on the critical stance toward the ANC, the core theme discussed at the launch is how South Africa’s political leadership and promises for the future are viewed in relation to the legacy of the anti-apartheid struggle.

Across the provided material, the emphasis remains on the book launch setting and the nature of the critique—particularly that contemporary ANC leadership is argued to differ from the figures associated with the apartheid resistance. No additional details about publication facts, specific claims, or responses from the ANC are included in the supplied excerpts.
