The press called him a drug trafficker and a drug dealer. He was. He'd admitted to these crimes and signed a plea bargain to grass on an associate. He was also known as the Landlord, which made him sound like a mafia boss. He was too a facilitator between those in high places, think Jackie Selebi, and businessmen on the make, think Brett Kebble. He was known as a fixer, the go-to guy who commanded fees of R100 million to organise connections. This is the story of the man who did business in coffee shops and met associates in car parks and underground garages. It is the story of the man who bought shoes for the national commissioner of police. The man accused of the murder of Brett Kebble. This is the story of Glenn Agliotti, one of Johannesburg's sons of the underworld.
Dive back into the gripping underworld of Johannesburg with this bonus material edition to the gripping exposé of South Africa's corrupt underbelly with an exclusive postscript and an engaging author interview. This edition is a follow-up to the bestselling, Killing Kebble and includes a postscript updating readers on events and people since the book's original publication in April 2011, as well as an extensive author interview exploring the author's background, the book's success and impact, and people's reactions to it. The book peeled back layers to expose a web of corruption that once gripped Johannesburg. In September 2005, eminent mining magnate and businessman Brett Kebble was killed on a quiet suburban street in Johannesburg. The investigation into his murder exposed the corrupt relationship between South Africa's Chief of Police and Interpol President Jackie Selebi and suave Mafioso Glenn Agliotti. It revealed a lawless underbelly in Johannesburg, dominated by drug lords, steroid-reliant bouncers, an international smuggling syndicate, a shady security unit moonlighting for the police, and sinister self-serving sleuths abusing state agencies.

The top-level investigation that followed exposed the corrupt relationship between the country’s Chief of Police and Interpol President Jackie Selebi and suave Mafioso Glenn Agliotti.

A compilation of the voices that told us about the murder of Anni Dewani, a Swedish national married to a British national, and who was murdered in South Africa in November 2010. It was a story that ran (and continues to run) at length in both the South African and British media, and was reported elsewhere too, Sweden and India featuring heavily in this regard given the Dewanis links to those countries. The narrative is made up of the voices of the husband, the police, politicians, reporters, family, lawyers, spin doctors, court records, and descriptions of CCTV footage, and runs up to the decision of a British Court on the extradition of Diwani to stand trial in South Africa. It paints a fascinating picture, or indeed a kaleidoscope of differing perspectives, of the events that have lead up to this hearing. It is a story of media, of social comment, and of a love story gone tragically wrong.
Nothing in life is certain, except death and taxes – or so the expression goes. And over the past two decades South African criminals and tax dodgers have come to realise this truth the hard way. Tax sleuth Johann van Loggerenberg was at the centre of many of SARS' high-profile cases during his time there. As far as SARS is concerned all forms of income are subjected to tax, even if by ill-gotten means. Whether you are a drug dealer from Durban, one of the hitmen who shot Brett Kebble or soccer boss Irvin Khoza, you have to pay your dues! Van Loggerenberg relates the riveting inside stories of the investigations into businessmen like Dave King, Billy Rautenbach, Barry Tannenbaum and his ponzi scheme, and others. Over the years he got to know all the scams and dirty tricks in the book and he explains these in plain language. In these investigations the tax authority worked closely with the police, the NPA and the Directorate of Special Operations. However, after a few years SARS became the victim of its own success. In telling the stories of how tax evaders were caught, Van Loggerenberg also shows how the power struggle between different state departments and the phenomenon of state capture in recent years started crippling SARS.
As a follow up to the bestselling Killing Kebble: An Underworld Exposed (2010), the new book from Mandy Wiener, Ministry of Crime: An Underworld Explored, examines how organised crime, gangsters and powerful political figures have been able to capture the law enforcement authorities and agencies. These various organisations have been eviscerated, hollowed out and left ineffective. They have been infiltrated and compromised and, as a result, prominent underworld figures have been able to flourish in South Africa, setting up elaborate networks of crime with the assistance of many cops. The criminal justice system has been left exposed and it is crucial that the South African public knows about the capture that has occurred on different levels.

What does Playboy have to do with Nabokov’s infamous novel Lolita and his obsession with a butterfly? Why is Shrien Dewani looking so cheap? And what can Ovid’s Metamorphosis show us about contemporary South African society? Imraan Coovadia’s Transformations is a collection of short pieces in the tradition of the essayist: exciting, probing, intelligent and readable. The essays are on writing, politics and culture from a South African perspective. Written with his signature wit, and with subjects ranging from vuvuzelas to J M Coetzee, Tolstoy to Mbeki, Coovadia’s essays cast a wide net and, like literature and the country, never fail to surprise.
