Bullshi!t: 50 Fibs that Made South Africa by Jonathan Ancer (Jonathan Ball) is an outrageous miscellany of lies, myths, untruths, fibs and fabrications that tell the woeful history of South Africa. It's aimed at offending and entertaining everyone in equal measure and will have South Africans sniggering and spluttering into their porridge. It's also out just in time for you to start thinking about the next general election.
The lies come thick and fast, like a burst sewerage pipe – the uninhabited land, the Satanic messages if you played a Beatles record backwards, the absence of SA troops in Angola, and so on, right up to present-day predictions about how long load shedding will last.
Jonathan Ancer is the author of Spy: Uncovering Craig Williamson, Betrayal: The Secret Lives of Apartheid Spies, and the co-author of a biography of Pravin Gordhan, among others.
