Description
The President’s Keepers by Jacques Pauw is arguably the most explosive piece of investigative journalism in modern South African history. Published by Tafelberg in 2017, this 352-page volume exposes the “shadow state” that protected former President Jacob Zuma. Pauw meticulously documents how billions in tax money vanished into the pockets of the “Keepers.”
The book examines the collapse of the South African Revenue Service and the rot within the intelligence agencies. Pauw faces legal threats and intimidation to bring these secrets to light. This trade paperback remains an essential record for anyone interested in political accountability and the fight for transparency. It provides a gripping, high-stakes narrative that reads like a political thriller.
