He was elected to parliament and rose swiftly through the ranks, earning the label 'Mr Clean' for his unstinting work against graft and corruption. But his feelings of euphoria at being part of the new South Africa slowly soured. Initially disappointed by the constant jockeying for power and the denialist AIDS policy of President Thabo Mbeki, Feinstein's disillusionment grew as he sought unsuccessfully to investigate the corruption surrounding the Arms Deal. Isolated from his former comrades, Feinstein was forced to choose between his principles and the party he had so admired. This is his story.  aAdult  aSouth Africa  2Feinstein, Andrew,—1964-  African National Congress  Military weapons—Purchasing  Political activists  Political corruption  Politics and government  South Africa  Biographies  Since 1994  a Biographies  Biography.
