Power outage during Jacques Pauw's book launch being investigated – Exclusive Books
9 November 2017
Johannesburg – It is still unclear whether the power outage during the launch of Jacques Pauw's book, The President's Keepers , was caused by a technical failure or if it was an attempt to silence him, event hosts Exclusive Books said on Thursday.
"At this stage, we have no way of knowing whether the disruption was the result of a technical failure or whether there was some unseen hand intent on silencing Mr Pauw," Exclusive Books CEO Benjamin Trisk said in a statement.
"There is an ongoing investigation and no doubt, in time, we will know the true circumstances," he said.
News24 reported on Wednesday that an unexplained power cut abruptly ended a discussion on Pauw's explosive book.
