As National Director of Public Prosecutions from 2005 until 2007, Advocate Vusi Pikoli pursued criminal charges against the current President of South Africa Jacob Zuma and the convicted former National Police Commissioner Jackie Selebi.
It was his dogged determination to bring the country's top cop to account that ultimately saw Pikoli removed from office and a subject of a public inquiry into his suspension.
Pikoli has a deeply ingrained loyalty to the Constitution of the country and a keenly developed sense of justice. He recounts how he grappled with the dilemma of prosecuting friends and comrades ad how he navigated through repeated attempts at political interference. He provides an insider's perspective on cases that have dominated discussion over the past decade: from the Arms Deal and the Scorpions; to the Brett Kebble murder; Travelgate; the Special Browse Mole Report and the hoax e-mail saga. Pikoli interrogates the state of the country's criminal justice system, reflects on what has become of his beloved ANC and considers whether his sacrifice was worth the price he paid.
