Description:

The opinion pieces in this collection "Here Comes the Snake in the Grass" were first published in Afropolitan magazine between 2013 and 2014, and in the Sowetan between 2010 and 2011 before I was fired from that newspaper and, to my utter horror and amusement, made the international news for that reason. In addition, we have included a number of previously unpublished pieces.Each article was written with a view to providing an insight with a longevity of relevance, although one would have hoped that some of what is written about here would be outdated by now. As it is, change is a slow-moving beast and the pieces still have bearing as I write this, even if it's purely entertainment value. What you will read here are my personal observations and opinions about today's South Africa in essay form. I am glad that you have this book in your hands. It is partly through reading that we get our brains to take the occasional jog, do a few push-ups and lift some weights to sharpen their functioning. Thanks for choosing this brain gymnasium
