Reseña del editor:

Pale Native, the memoir of one of South Africa's most seasoned and controversial journalists, documents his personal involvement in and impressions of South Africa's recent past. Sometimes wacky, sometimes profound, the title is always entertaining, with the odd bit of sleaze. The author recalls covering the 1976 Soweto Uprising, South Africa's wars in Namibia and Angola, the turbulent 1980s, and setting up the first anti-apartheid Afrikaans newspaper, Vrye Weekblad, with a band of half-crazed mavericks. He reveals what went on behind the scenes with apartheidAs death squads: Dirk Coetzee, Vlakplaas, the CCB. After the fall of apartheid, Du Preez presented 90 television documentaries about the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, and started SABC3's Special Assignment, but was fired in 1999 after a series of events that are stranger than fiction. In 2000 he was publicly attacked from many quarters for calling President Thabo Mbeki a 'womaniser'.
