"Wow, this one’s a cracker. It’s dynamite. You may not be steeped in South African politics, or the whys and wherefores of the late Nelson Mandela’s African National Congress, but Jacques Pauw’s exposé of the party’s current leader, the increasingly discredited President Jacob Zuma, pulls no punches. In The President’s Keepers, Pauw, an investigative journalist, breathlessly and painstakingly documents the people he describes as maintaining Zuma and his compromised government in power – and keeping the president himself out of prison. There’s evidence and anecdote aplenty in this gripping tale of Zuma’s fight for his political life, and it’s never quite clear whether he is the puppet or the puppet master."
