A thread on Willem Breytenbach, the alleged sex predator, former mentor and boss. I too met him as a high school kid, but no, he didn’t try his luck with me. We have always known that he liked white, Afrikaans boys much more - the not-so-secret he also actively pushed later in his corporate life. As the editor of my school newspaper (“Excelsior”) in 1996 and 1997, I too was a kiddie star of Die Burger’s now notorious school project.
