In 1997, Makgoba published a book about his experiences at Wits, entitled Mokoko – The Makgoba Affair. In it, he affirmed his commitment to the idea of an African Renaissance and to “transforming the higher education landscape”. Guy Martin, professor at the School of Government of the University of the Western Cape, referred to the book as “a personal account of the recent process of transformation occurring at Wits.” Martin noted that, while Makgoba was “justifiably proud of his considerable achievements as an African scientist”, the force with which he defends his credentials in the book “leads him to sound intellectually pompous and arrogant and utterly self-centered, if not downright egocentric”. Martin also questioned Makgoba’s “resort to some unorthodox-and, possibly, unethical-methods of struggle”, and noted his own “uneasiness in attempting to disentangle objective reality from opinion, and fact from fiction” while reading the book. Deputy President at the time, Thabo Mbeki, wrote: “The publication of this book demonstrates that it is possible to succeed in the struggle for change, despite the continuing exercise of power by powerful forces which owe their dominance to the very antithesis of “liberalism”, however defined.”
