BOOK: The Plot to Save South Africa: Chris Hani's Murder and the Week Nelson Mandela Averted Civil War by Justice Malala (Jonathan Ball)
Johannesburg. Easter weekend, 1993. Chris Hani, the charismatic ANC leader, is shot and killed outside his home by white supremacist Janusz Walus in an attempt to stop talks to transform South Africa into a multiracial democracy. Twenty-two-year-old rookie journalist Justice Malala was one of the first people at the crime scene and he covered the unsettling nine days that followed. Thirty years later, Malala revisits those days, uncovering in detail the actions of key players by means of archival research and revealing original interviews. The bestselling author of We Have Now Begun Our Descent spoke to City Press editor Mondli Makhanya at the launch of the book. Here are highlights from that launch.
