As a young journalist, roped into court reporting to cover Jacob Zumas 2006 rape trial, Karyn Maughan could not have known that she would be reporting on Zumas legal woes for the next two decades and would herself become his target. Disarmingly honest and deeply personal, this book takes a razor-sharp look at how powerful men use attacks on individuals who try to hold them accountable, as well as on the media and the courts, to undermine democracy.
