Will South Africa’s first collection of investigative journalism also be its last? The 2009 Taco Kuiper Awards saw an unprecedented number of high-quality entries all vying for the top spot at this prestigious investigative journalism award. Troublemakers is a collection of the best of these entries. This is the book that will keep Schabir Shaik up at night. And Carl Niehaus. And Barry Tannenbaum. And all South Africa’s other crooks, scoundrels and scumbags. The powerful may lament it, but those excited by a new and lively democracy love it: South Africa is enjoying an unexpected revival of hard-hitting investigative journalism.
