MOKORO – A CRY FOR HELP by Mike Hoare R120 and
REALLY INSIDE BOSS by Piet Swanepoel R160 - now available from Just Done

 

"Mad Mike" Hoare, the famous mercenary leader and adventurer, has just published his sixth book. It is a true account of his search for the Lost City of the Kalahari, and of a disaster in a remote part of the Okavango Delta.

 

In the 1950s, the story of the Lost City of the Kalahari gripped the public imagination. People organised expeditions to look for the lost city; even Alan Paton, the famous novelist, went searching. In the first part of the book, Mike tells of his solo trip in 1958 across the Kalahari Desert, his search for the lost city, his visit to the Tsodilo Hills, and a chance meeting with a crocodile hunter that changed the course of his life.

 

In the second part, he describes how, in 1963, he and his young wife decide to "drop out" for a year and live deep in the heart of the Okavango Delta. At first, their existence in this water wonderland is idyllic; then disaster strikes. Mike tells how he managed to overcome the obstacles, how then men started dying, and how he ultimately was trapped without any way of escaping. He was reduced to nothing. There was only one thing left to do: pray.

"During the course of our stay in the game reserve I took the opportunity to ask the PM some searching questions. What I wanted to find out was what actually happened in a meeting of the cabinet... Mr Vorster preferred to answer my question with a description of what happened in cabinet meetings when Dr Verwoerd was PM... "

P.C. "Piet" Swanepoel was transferred to the Special Branch of the South African Police in January 1952. He was to spend the next 32 years as a full time member of South Africa's Security and intelligence Services. (BOSS)

He describes the origins of the Service, the mystery surrounding the financing of the first attempts to launch an armed struggle against the National Party government, the controversial accounts of the Smit murders and the assassination of Dr Verwoerd, the role played by the CIA in the battle against apartheid and numerous other subjects.

"This book is a welcome addition to the literature on the murky battle between security agents and liberation movements. For far too long the allegations against BOSS and its successor have been uncritically accepted. For the first time we have someone from the inside of BOSS telling his story from his side's perspective."
