More about the book!

Jonathan Ball Publishers and the Centre for the Advancement of Non-Racialism and Democracy (CANRAD) at Nelson Mandela University invite you to the launch of Bulelani Ngcuka: The Sting in the Tale by Marion Sparg.
Bulelani Ngcuka will be in discussion with Prof. Barney Pityana.
The conversation will be facilitated by Prof. Christi van der Westhuizen, CANRAD Research Programme.
The Sting in the Tale is a first-hand account of our most recent legal and political history. In this sweeping biography, based on many hours of interviews with Ngcuka, author Sparg uncovers the roots of his fearless activism and tells his side of the story. She goes back in time to his modest beginnings in the Eastern Cape, to his lawyering years with the formidable Griffiths Mxenge, his various periods of detention, exile, and his homecoming.
