SIMONSTOWN GHOST WALK With Creator André Leibbrandt

THE PROFILER DIARIES With Forensic Psychologist Professor Gérard Labuschagne
Former South African Police Service (SAPS) head profiler Professor Gérard Labuschagne, who succeeded the illustrious Micki Pistorius, recalls more of the 110 murder series and the myriad other unusual crimes he investigated during his career in this second instalment of The Profiler Diaries.
In his fourteen and a half years with the SAPS, Labuschagne, a specialist in serial murder and rape cases, saw it all. Even though Labuschagne and his colleagues were frequently thwarted by a lack of funding, office politics, and legal incompetence, they remained committed to securing justice for the victims whose cases they were tasked with researching.

BLACK BEACH With Daniel Janse van Rensburg
The terrifying story of Daniel’s struggle while imprisoned at the legendary Black Beach jail in Equatorial Guinea, West Africa, is told in the chilling book Black Beach. An explosive exposé of power abuse and corruption at the highest levels of government in Equatorial Guinea, a country rich in oil, as well as Daniel’s ultimate descent into hell while imprisoned within one of the most notorious prisons in the world.
Daniel’s sometimes gruesome account details his personal encounters with the dreadful conditions at a prison that has received extensive media attention due to allegations of excessive violence, torture, and basic human rights breaches. He describes his daily battle to survive by scrounging for food, frequently consuming rotten meat and drinking tainted water, living in filthy conditions without access to running water or working restrooms, and being completely shut off from his family, legal counsel, and the South African embassy.
