Politics Editors under Fire AND The Dirty Work of Democracy

 Editors under Fire AND The Dirty Work of Democracy 

1. Editors under Fire by Harvey Tyson, Unsinkable editor who always took his job seriously, but never himself.   Harvey Tyson reported daily on the birth, life and incipient death of apartheid. 

He interviewed Smuts and Malan as apartheid became official policy in 1948, and talked to both  Mandela and de Klerk as it began to crumble in 1990.

1. The Dirty Work of Democracy, a year in the streets with the SAPS by Antony Altbeker

The Dirty Work of Democracy, A year on the streets with the SAPS, is a daunting, important and absorbingly readable account of what it is to be a cop on the beat in South Africa today. Special Writer MICHAEL MORRIS spoke to the author, Antony Altbeker.

Not lightly, Altbeker's close friend, fellow writer Jonny Steinberg - and a fellow intimate, in a sense, in the mean street of crime - recommends The Dirty Work of Democracy for "tell(ing) us something about the state of our country's soul".
