How To Steal a City: The Battle for Nelson Mandela Bay – An Inside Account by Crispian Olver was named by Anton Harber as a ‘must-read’.

Ferial Haffajee says: ‘There will be lots of books about the ANC this year. This is the best one.’

How To Steal a City is written as a gripping real-life thriller, taking the reader deeper and deeper into the rotten heart of the city. As a former senior government official and local government ‘fixer’, Olver was no stranger to dealing with dodgy politicians and broken organisations.
