Kanthan Pillay, former media executive and CEO of YFM, has released his latest book, How to Fix South Africa: An Owner’s Manual, which is now available in bookstores across South Africa, including Exclusive Books, Bargain Books, Airport Bookshop, PNA, Protea Boekwinkel, Ramsgate Stationers, and Wordsworth Books.

Though primarily known for his leadership roles in media, Kanthan Pillay is also a seasoned technocrat. With a 43-year career spanning newspapers, magazines, radio, TV, and digital media—including The Cape Times, ETV News, and YFM—Pillay has consistently directed successful ventures. His expertise extends into technology, with roles at Princeton University’s Program in Applied and Computational Mathematics and CRS4 in Sardinia, Italy.

How to Fix South Africa delves into the critical issues facing the nation today: political corruption at the highest levels of government, criminals evading justice while living in luxury, and power blackouts lasting up to 12 hours a day.

Pillay believes that South Africans are more than capable of finding solutions to these challenges. His book offers a wealth of simple, cost-effective ideas that could immediately benefit the country:

• Discover how to revitalize South Africa’s tourism industry at no cost.
• Learn how to reform the policing system without significant expenses.
• Find ways to enhance education and healthcare without increasing the budget.
• Explore a sustainable alternative to the basic income grant while boosting the economy.
• Resolve the land issue without resorting to expropriation.

Regardless of political affiliations, readers are encouraged to advocate for these practical solutions with their leaders.
