Penguin Random House and Love Books invite you to the launch of Licence to Loot: How the Plunder of Eskom and Other Parastatals Almost Sank South Africa.

Licence to Loot traces the genesis of the Eskom looting spree and explores how the Gupta family extracted billions in suspected kickbacks from state contracts and scored hugely inflated coal contracts from backroom deals.

It also examines how Eskom’s top brass enriched themselves and their families at the power utility’s expense.

The author of the book, award-winning journalist Stephan Hofstatter, will be in conversation with Mzukisi Qobo at the launch.
