Thank you Sue for a lovely, relaxed, book club - even though we were only at half strength (6 out of 12). And what a great selection of books: Jodi Picault's latest pandemic novel Wish you were here , Fred Khumalo's humorous 'coming of age' novel Two Tons 'o Fun in which he writes about a young woman growing up in Johannesburg, David Attenborough's book of the Netflix series A Life on our Planet and Confessions of a Stratcom Hitman by the recently deceased lowlife Paul Erasmus. The long-awaited second inquest into the harrowing death in detention of Neil Aggett forty years ago took place last year, and the verdict accusing the Security Branch police of his murder (see DM article) has just been handed down. This book must have been prompted by these events as Erasmus was an apartheid Security Branch policeman at the time who spilt the beans (see DM article) on his colleagues in the dirty tricks department (what he calls Stratcom - Strategic Communications). Bev recently put the book Death of an Idealist: Remembering Neil Aggett by Bev Naidoo into the bookclub.
