Brett Kebble: The Inside Story by Barry Sergeant is an investigative account of the life, death, and financial dealings of South African mining magnate Brett Kebble. In September 2005, Kebble’s violent murder shocked corporate South Africa, bringing sudden attention to a figure widely known as a wealthy patron of the arts, a supporter of black economic empowerment, and a prominent personality in business and social circles. In the months following his death, however, investigators began uncovering a vast and complex web of fraud linked to Kebble’s business empire. Sergeant traces the rise and collapse of Kebble’s career, examining the intricate transactions, shell companies, and financial manoeuvres that concealed one of the most far-reaching corporate scandals to affect a stock exchange.
