Join Marianne Thamm and Professor Albert Grundlingh as they explore the long-awaited biography of Frederik van Zyl Slabbert, which offers sharp insights into the thinking of this most unlikely politician and provides new perspectives on a figure who even today remains something of an enigma.

​​​​​​​An academic, opposition politician, democratic facilitator or businessman, Slabbert was always a man on a mission. Slabbert was different and his reputation for honesty, integrity, wit and courage still towers above many of his contemporaries.

Concise but wide-ranging, Grundlingh’s penetrating biographical study Slabbert: Man on a Mission offers sharp insights into the thinking and motivation of this most unlikely politician.  

The event is hosted by Jonathan Ball Publishers and the Daily Maverick.
