Loose Canon

Loose Canon is a collection of the very best of Tim Cohen’s writing. He tackles everything from Donald Trump and Cyril Ramaphosa to BEE and Bitcoin. He questions what happened to the millions the Soccer World Cup song ‘Waka Waka’ made, ponders the Afrikaner ‘refugees’ in the United States, and more. Nothing is off limits.

Leading political scientists Mcebisi Ndletyana and Mashupye Maserumule recount the full story of how Zuma – through plots, proxies and power plays – transformed the ANC from a party of principle to one of rent-seeking. Drawing on more than 50 interviews with key insiders, this is the definitive account of the Zuma presidency.

Prominent podcaster and analyst Mbuyiseni Ndlozi examines colonial violence and its impact on Black youths, with violence turning inward in ‘black-on-black’ violence and Black self-hatred. He deals with the subjugation and relegation of Black youths to a state of ‘permanent juniority’ under apartheid, their participation in the struggle, and the possibilities for freedom or emancipation in the current post-apartheid era.

As a young journalist covering Jacob Zuma’s 2006 rape trial, Karyn Maughan could not have known that she would be reporting on Zuma’s legal woes for two decades – and would herself become his target, the first journalist privately prosecuted by a former president.
