Kaizer grew up on a farm in White River in Mpumalanga but went on to achieve an Ivy League education, following which he strutted his influential stuff as South Africa's first black editor.

His life has been colourful to say the least: a brush with death, experiences of deeply searing personal losses not to mention his take on political mumbo jumbo.

From his early days as a junior reporter he rose to become not only an editor but also hobnobbed with our country’s emerging elite during the heady days of our road to democracy.

This is a deeply personal and also inspirational book where one of our leading lights unlayers an inspirational story, also unwrapping the many facets of his complex character.
