Pieter du Toit (1997), hoofredakteur van Huffington Post SA, se nuwe boek, Enemy of the People, wat hy saam met die bekende ondersoekende joernalis Adriaan Basson geskryf het, was van die begin ʼn blitsverkoper en reeds in die laaste week van November bo-aan Exclusive Books se lys van topverkopers.
Op die Old Boys se Facebook-blad beskryf Pieter hierdie verhaal van die Zuma-era soos volg:
“Dit vat die spoor van 2007 af tot vandag toe, loop deur Nkandla, Rusland, die parlement, Eskom, Tesourie en die ANC tot waar ons vandag is.”
Enemy of the People is published by Jonathan Ball. On the back cover this account of the Zuma era is described as “the first definitive account of Zuma’s catastrophic misrule, offering eyewitness descriptions and cogent analysis of how South Africa was brought to its knees – and how a people fought back.
When Jacob Zuma took over the leadership of the ANC one muggy Polokwane evening in December 2007, he inherited a country where GDP was growing by more than 6% per annum, a party enjoying the support of two-thirds of the electorate, and a unified tripartite alliance. Today, South Africa is caught in the grip of a patronage network, the economy is floundering and the ANC is staring down the barrel of a defeat at the 2019 general elections.”
As jy die boek kan kry, koop hom! As jy hom nie self lees nie, gaan jy dalk iemand se hart hierdie Kersfees baie bly maak.
