"Who are the 50 most damaging, deadly and disastrous people in South African history? Who are our greatest villains, direst leaders, foulest corrupters and most offensive personalities - be it through politics, war, sport, culture or just their general idiocy? Well, take your pick . From Jan van Riebeeck in 1652 to Julius Malema in 2010 - via Basson, Botha, Shaka and Shaik - 50 People Who Stuffed Up South Africa is filled with the nastiest names to have besmirched our past. These are men of infamy (and three women) who have steered the good ship South Africa firmly in the wrong direction by virtue of their ruinous megalomania (Mbeki), twisted loyalty (Tshabalala-Msimang), irrepressible greed (Blatter), prime evil (De Kock) or utter incompetence (Erwin). . Morons and militants, rogues and racists, together they tell a fascinating collective tale. The result is a book that is part popular history, part social commentary, and all entertainment.".
