The Stellenbosch Mafia

About 50km outside of Cape Town lies the beautiful town of Stellenbosch. Here reside some of South Africa’s wealthiest individuals: all male, all Afrikaans – and all stinking rich. Author Pieter du Toit begins by exploring the roots of Stellenbosch, one of the wealthiest towns in South Africa and arguably the cradle of Afrikanerdom. This is the birthplace of apartheid leaders, intellectuals, newspaper empires and more. He then closely examines this ‘club’ of billionaires and the control these men have over cultural life.
