 In "Joining the Dots: An Unauthorised Biography of Pravin Gordhan", award-winning journalists Jonathan Ancer and Chris Whitfield examine his activist roots and position in society as a bastion of integrity. It was in March 2017 that former finance minister Pravin Gordhan was booted from his official role in government by then president Jacob Zuma. Through a shocking Cabinet reshuffle, Gordhan, who had been a pillar of anti-corruption within a captured state, was replaced by Zuma loyalist Malusi Gigaba. The phrase join the dots has become synonymous with the speech Gordhan gave a week later to a large audience in Cape Town, where he urged those present to open their eyes to the rot happening in Parliament, and who was behind it. 

Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan has fought tooth and nail to protect SAs democracy from the evils of State Capture. In a new unauthorised biography, authors Jonathan Ancer and Chris Whitfield piece together the life and times of the enigmatic politician and activist.
