Open letter to Adriaan Basson
Dear Mr. Basson,
A friend who thought I might need to get a copy of the book and read what you had written informed me about your book.
I made a request to your editor at the City Press and she initially thought she could make an advance copy available to me. You see my reason for making this request is that the book is about the ANC and its leaders and in the main the President of the ANC and his family.
Unfortunately, it would appear that you were not very happy to provide me with an advance copy and whilst I can live with that, it seemed childish to say the least. I now have a copy bought at the princely sum of R300.00.
I have corrected my friend and told her that she may have thought of you as having written a book. What you have done is to compile a number of articles, court records, named the names of minor children without the permission of their parents despite the Bill of Rights enshrining the rights of children and you insult various members of the NEC of the ANC.
