The lawyers claim that NB Publishers are willing to “unreservedly apologise” for the publication of the allegations “to the extent that may implicate Mr Du Plessis, and for the attendant infringement of his dignity and impairment of his reputation, as well as the emotional distress this caused him and his family”.
The book was written by the now late Mark Minnie, a former police detective and Chris Steyn, an investigative journalist.
