    Who really holds the power in modern-day SA? This is an enormously complex question, which Richard Callands new book, The Zuma Years: The Changing Face of Power, tries to answer. He does so with a two-dimensional matrix in mind, with importance on the vertical axis and inuence on the horizontal axis. Something, or someone, may be important with formal authority but not inuential with real power, and vice versa. The changing face of power is illustrated here in a specially commissioned graphic based on the main conclusions in Callands new book. The main institutions and players are located in one quadrant or the other: the higher up the map they are, the more formal authority they have; the further to the right they are, the more real power they enjoy. Those in the top right corner have both formal authority and real power. Conversely, those in the bottom left, have neither formal authority nor real inuence. The arrows attached to the various actors depicted in the graphic show how their power has either increased or waned in the course of the last seven dramatic years. Thus, an arrow pointing to the right indicates growing inuence, and an arrow to the left declining power
