By Thys Khiba – The author of ‘The President’s Keeper’ and recently published ‘Our Poisoned Land’, Jacques Pauw has confirmed that that they won’t be retracting parts of his new book on Tuesday.
This comes after the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) demanded that he retract parts of his new book. The new book was published on 11 November 2022 under the Tafelberg imprint of NB Publishers.
Pauw confirmed that the NB Publishers received an urgent letter of demand from Malema, party deputy president Floyd Shivambu and MPL Dr Mbuyiseni Ndlozi’s attorneys on Monday.
The letter talks to the allegations unearthed by the author, sharing the extent of Julius Malema’s controversial relationship with Adriano Mazzotti.
“This is the book Julius Malema does not want you to see,” said Pauw.
He says Malema is responding as Arthur Fraser did before in response to The President’s Keepers.
“The EFF’s demands are reminiscent of similar attempts, almost exactly five years ago, when then spy boss Arthur Fraser threatened to use intelligence legislation to remove the The President’s Keepers from the shelves,” said Pauw.
NB Publishers indicated that they support their author and the book.
Julius Malema's lawyers have demanded that Jacques Pauw's new book, 'Our Poisoned Land: Living in the Shadows of Zuma's Keepers,' be removed from shelves.
Go out and buy the book. Buy copies for yourself, family members, colleagues, contacts, anyone.
