The book is described as "an investigation into the investigators, a deep dive into the best and worst of recent South African journalism." Harber and Pauw will chat about the Guptaleaks expose, looking at both the good and bad that came from it @AIJC2020 #SoForTheRecord
Harber: I really wanted to make the book as accessible and readable as possible, so I joined the Creative Writing Master's class at Wits University so I wouldn't write in an academic manner #SoForTheRecord #AIJC2020
