South Africa's first female president is tough-talking Lufuno Zandile Mulaudzi. She's on a mission to fight corruption and restore dignity to the country she leads and loves.

Reality inspires fiction in The Republic, with the story set in present-day South Africa. When President Kgalema Motlanthe's term in office ended in 2009, he was replaced by President Hendrik Mbuli, whose term was riddled with corruption and looting of state funds. Mbuli is fired from government, making way for the party's secretary, Lufuno Mulaudzi to take the reins as President. We meet President Mulaudzi, who has spent two years fighting corruption and prosecuting those who benefited from Mbuli's presidency--including Mbuli himself.
