The back story to SA's new #1 bestseller with its author Pieter du Toit

Loading player...
Author of The Stellenbosch Mafia, Pieter du Toit, is almost made for the job. A graduate of the town's famous Paul Roos Gymnasum and Stellenbosch University, having breathed its air for so many years, Du Toit has insights that outsiders can never acquire. He applied this advantage together with his access to media-shy billionaires to very good effect into what instantly became South Africa's best selling book - and is likely to stay top of the list for some time. Superbly written, Du Toit also exposes some unreported ugliness, including the sordid tale of the corruption tainted CEO of the South African Rugby Football Union, Jurie Roux, an associate of the disgraced Markus Jooste who retains his powerful role despite being sued for more than R30m by his former employer, Stellenbosch University. - Alec Hogg Learn more about your ad choices.
