The entire political landscape has changed since Max du Preez first published his acclaimed book, Pale Native: Memories of a Renegade Reporter, in 2003.
This revised, updated edition has new chapters on the ‘”bloodless coup” of Polokwane, the demise (and an updated assessment) of Thabo Mbeki, the Zuma and Malema Show, the rise of Cope and the 2009 election, the country’s slide into systemic corruption and the spectacular crash of the SABC, as well as the controversies in Afrikaner culture and politics (the Free State University racist video, the De la Rey song and the language debate at Stellenbosch University).
The book will also be published in Afrikaans for the first time, under the title Dwars: Mymeringe van ’n Bleek Boorling.
A must-read from one of South Africa’s top opinion makers.
