Watch Bulelani Ngcuka in discussion with Barney Pityana at the launch of The Sting in the Tale
More about the book!

Bulelani Ngcuka was in discussion with Prof. Barney Pityana at the launch of Bulelani Ngcuka: The Sting in the Tale in Gqeberha recently.
The event was hosted by Jonathan Ball Publishers and the Centre for the Advancement of Non-Racialism and Democracy (CANRAD) at Nelson Mandela University.
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 Marian 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.
