Thrilled to announce that my latest book is available in bookstores nationwide. It offers a unique and poignant perspective of South Africa’s land reform, which has been a monumental disappointment and a betrayal that punishes affected communities. @JacanaMedia #BooksWorthReading

The Johannesburg Metropolitan Police Department arrested two suspects in Sandton after officers intercepted a grey Haval fitted with unauthorised blue lights at the corner of Rivonia Road and Grayston Drive during routine patrols. The male driver claimed he was the official driver of the Mayor of Nala Municipality and said he was transporting the mayor. The female passenger supported the story and falsely identified herself as the mayor. Police became suspicious after checks revealed the vehicle was not state-owned, but registered to a bank. Further investigation found the woman had allegedly impersonated the mayor, while the driver was allegedly under the influence of alcohol and unlawfully using blue light equipment. The driver was charged with impersonating a police official, drunk driving, and illegal use of blue lights. The female passenger was charged with impersonation. Both were detained at Sandton SAPS and are expected to appear in court soon.
