'Days Of Zondo': Riveting and shocking dive into the depths of State Capture
'Days Of Zondo' is a riveting, shocking, and at times emotional dive into the depths of State
Capture while giving acknowledgment and catharsis to its victims: the people of South
Africa. Award-winning journalist Ferial Haffajee unravels the tangled web of corruption and criminality on The Drive with Rob & Roz.
'Days of Zondo: The Fight for Freedom from Corruption' by Ferial Haffajee, the definitive guide to what was formally exposed during the Zondo Commission; with players ranging from the Gupta family to former president Jacob Zuma, Salim Essa, Dudu Myeni, Ace Magashule, Brian Molefe, Bosasa’s Angelo Agrizzi, numerous ministers and associates, business leaders and corporate entities.
Award-winning journalist Ferial Haffajee unravels the tangled web of corruption and criminality as she leads the reader through Zondo’s biggest moments and most shocking admissions, and makes sense of the commission’s findings.
Infographics give a bird’s-eye view of the key findings in the commission’s report, including how much money was spent, how much was lost, and where it could have helped us improve the quality of life for ordinary South African citizens. And an exclusive interview with Judge Raymond Zondo gives the reader an even closer look at the map, the mechanism, and the matrix of State Capture.
As the commission continued its work for more than three years, it became a national confessional hearing about the country’s heart of darkness. At the same time, because it was chaired by a judge, it was also a detailed judicial X-ray into the grand corruption that had steadily eaten away at the spirit of South Africa’s post-apartheid dream.
Released on 23 September 2022, Days of Zondo shows how the commission exposed the networks of capture and patronage that had misshaped the country.
Haffajee’s experience as a political journalist who has covered the ANC for the past three decades is the torch that shines into the complexity of the commission, what led us to it, and what the fallout is for our country.
