Description
The President’s Keepers by investigative journalist Jacques Pauw is a work of South African political non-fiction that examines corruption, state capture and the networks of influence surrounding former president Jacob Zuma’s government. Drawing on investigative reporting, Pauw exposes the individuals and covert operations allegedly involved in protecting Zuma from accountability, weakening law-enforcement institutions and keeping key figures in positions of power.
Following the 2017 Gupta email leaks, the book investigates the alleged networks linking political figures, intelligence operatives and state institutions. It explores subjects including Project Vodka, the activities of the State Security Agency, former SARS commissioner Tom Moyane, Schabir Shaik and the people operating behind the scenes in South Africa’s political landscape. The book includes 18 chapters, an epilogue, an index and a photographic insert.
