Penguin Random House, publisher of 'GangsterState: Unravelling Ace Magashule's Web of Capture' said it would not be silenced.
Johannesburg - Penguin Random House, publisher of 'Gangster State: Unravelling Ace Magashule's Web of Capture' on Wednesday said it would not be silenced following a protest during the book launch event in Johannesburg.
"The next book launch will be tomorrow, Thursday 11 April at 6pm for 6.30pm at Exclusive Books V&A Waterfront, Cape Town, and will be moderated by [News24 editor] Adriaan Basson. We hope that Ace Magashule and his supporters get the message that no amount of intimidation will deter us. Whether it is threats to go to court, the disruption of book launches or the burning of books, we will not be silenced.
Copies of the book on display were thrown on the floor and pages were torn out by the protesters. Plans by the ANC Youth League Free State to burn copies on Monday in Bloemfontein in defence of Magashule have been widely condemned. "Their actions were criminal, anti-democracy and anti-freedom of speech. They threatened the author, publisher and all those in attendance. We must all, as members of ANC defend our glorious movement against these thugs and criminals.
