* Description:

In the mid-1990s, Nelson Mandela hand-picked Andre Lincoln to head a secret unit that would explore the nexus between government and gangsters. But the unit ruptured because of accusations in 1997 that Lincoln was running a rogue operation and colluding with the Italian Mafia. Lincoln countered that apartheid-era cops framed him to cover up their involvement in crimes, pre- and post-democracy.

He was first convicted but later vindicated in a case that dislodged the names of some of South Africa’s highest-ranking politicians and senior government agents.

André Lincoln’s life exposes the dirty ploys that have swung South Africa’s trajectory; how street-level killings could be flashpoints of deep state proxy wars; and raises suspicions about who in Mandela’s realm backstabbed whom.

With exclusive access to Lincoln, journalist Caryn Dolley uncovers the electrifying dynamics of undercover work – first against the state, then for it; she delves into court cases and through years of reporting and research exposes, for the first time and in full, the sordid scandal – with Lincoln at its centre – that has lacerated the South African Police Service and implicated some of the country’s top cops and politicians.
