"I was interested in finding out about the person who now occupies one of the most powerful positions in the ANC."Gangster State: Unravelling Magashule's Web of CaptureThe discussion was led by News24 editor-in-chief, Adriaan Basson, at the new venue offered by the radio station.
News24 earlier reported that Donald Kau, head of PR and communications at the V&A Waterfront, said, after a three-way meeting between the V&A Waterfront, Exclusive Books and the South African Police Service, a decision had been taken to cancel the launch,"primarily informed by the safety of our patrons".At the launch, Myburgh told the crowd:"When I started taking close interest in [Ace] Magashule, I realised that he needed more scrutiny.
In his explosive book, Myburgh ventures deeper than before into Magashule's murky dealings, from his time as a struggle activist in the 1980s to his powerful rule as premier of the Free State for nearly a decade, and his rise to one of the ANC's most influential positions - secretary general. He said, notwithstanding the ANC's statements and the disruption at the Sandton launch in Johannesburg, the feedback has been positive. "It's a book in the public interest of South Africans. And the feedback has been mainly positive," added Myburgh.
