In September 2005, corporate South Africa was rocked by the violent murder of mining maverick Brett Kebble. In life, he was known as a billionaire patron of the arts, compassionate philanthropist, champion of black economic empowerment, urbane raconteur and generous host. But within six months of his death, Kebble was exposed as the architect of one of the biggest and most convoluted frauds seen by any stock exchange in the world, a flawed genius who lied and cheated and stole so cunningly that even astute auditors were fooled. By the time he died, Kebble was both broke and jobless. His legacy was a maze of convoluted transactions that would take forensic investigators months, perhaps years, to untangle. The trail would lead from one of the African continent’s oldest and most venerable mining houses to more than 100 shell companies; from the diamond fields of Angola to the new black elite in democratic South Africa’s upmarket suburbs. But in the wake of Kebble’s death, far darker secrets than his unorthodox and downright criminal transactions would also come to light. Many of them are revealed for the first time in this hard-hitting A-B-C of Brett Kebble’s brilliant but terminally crooked business career.
The Kebble Collusion
In a world of outright denial, selective amnesia, and complex financial transactions designed to confuse, obfuscate, and hide the spoils, this book unravels one of South Africa's biggest cover-ups. This account tackles the shady financial dealings--a fraud that in today's terms amounts to 26 billion Rand--following the murder of mining magnate Brett Kebble. Featuring a stellar cast of players, including top financial institutions, leading bankers, and lawyers, it painstakingly details the dirty dealing across the upper strata of the sociopolitical system to reveal the truth behind the murder.

Dive back into the gripping underworld of Johannesburg with this bonus material edition to the gripping exposé of South Africa's corrupt underbelly with an exclusive postscript and an engaging author interview. In September 2005, Brett Kebble, one of South Africa's most prominent mining magnates and businessmen, was killed on a quiet suburban street in Johannesburg. The top-level investigation that followed exposed the corrupt relationship between the country's Chief of Police and Interpol President Jackie Selebi and suave Mafioso Glenn Agliotti. Killing Kebble uncovered a lawless Johannesburg underbelly, dominated by drug lords, steroid-reliant bouncers, an international smuggling syndicate, a shady security unit moonlighting for the police and sinister self-serving sleuths abusing state agencies. This postscript updates the reader on events and people since the original publication of Killing Kebble in April 2011 and includes an extensive author interview exploring the author's background, the book's success and impact, and people's reactions.
