Before Max du Preez became known – and controversial – as a journalist, he was an ordinary Boerseun from the Free State. As a young journalist at Beeld, he rubbed shoulders with big shots like PW Botha. On 16 June 1976 he hears shots in Soweto. In this moving memoir, he shares what a turning point this was for him and how it drove him to expose the dark workings of apartheid. Aanstap Boere is his honest account of five crucial decades in South Africa, packed with revelations and self-criticism.
