Aimed at offending and entertaining everyone in equal measure, this will have South Africans sniggering and spluttering into their porridge. It will also pique their curiosity.
The lies come thick and fast, like a burst sewerage pipe. Way, way back the Europeans 'discovered' southern Africa and found a largely uninhabited land. Um, no. On the other hand, Africa was a paradise before the settlers pulled in. Not quite!
Back in the darkest of ages (the 1970s!), citizens were told that there were Satanic messages if you played The Beatles songs backward. During the civil war in Angola, there were no South African troops in that country. National icon Hansie Cronje was a paragon of virtue and integrity until he wasn't. President Nelson Mandela told us that we, as a nation, were 'special'. Turns out we aren't.
Jonathan Ancer has written, after consulting with historians and barflies, a fascinating and witty collection of the lies we've been told and the lies we tell ourselves.
