The War on Black Professionals in Corporate South Africa
This is not what was delivered. Instead of Bolani giving us a broad overview of the systemic and structural racism that exists in corporate SA, she chose to show us how it manifested itself in her professional and personal life.

Bolani writes that her relationship with her boss soured after her white line manager verbally abused her in front of her coworkers. She was thereafter inundated with administrative work without additional staff. This distracted her from the tasks that were integral to her performance in her job. When it became clear to her that her line manager’s boss and HR personnel would not help her improve her situation, Bolani took her complaints to black people in more senior positions.
