"The success of Africa's COVID-19 response should not have surprised the world. The people of Africa have demonstrated time and again, their resilience and ability to work together to overcome even the greatest challenge."

- President Cyril Ramaphosa, President of South Africa

Through the actions of heroes like H.E Cyril Ramaphosa, Mr Strive Masiyiwa, Dr Vera Songwe, Dr John Nkengasong, and Professor Benedict Oramah, a narrative of leadership, duty and sacrifices emerges. From securing vaccines to complex negotiations, this book tells of the journey to an outcome that surprised the world. In this book, the author presents the facts in an illustrative manner that highlights African innovation, competence and spirit.

"When spider webs unite, they can tie up a lion."
