The Dark Prince - Paperback

Having survived scandal, controversy and the Zuma years, Paul Mashatile has risen through the ranks to the doorstep of the presidency.

Over a political career spanning 30 years, he has successfully navigated the corruption and factionalism that the ANC has become known for.

Now he wants to take charge of the party - and the Union Buildings. The question is: Should he? Is Paul Mashatile suitable for the highest office?

This meticulously researched account by bestselling author Pieter du Toit answers these vital questions and reveals the dark truth about the ANC's crown prince.
