Tales of Ordinary Murder Rian Malan in South Africa
Rian Malan is an Afrikaner, a member of the white tribe that rules South Africa and a blood relative of the chief architect of apartheid. He is also an ex-crime reporter on the Johannesburg Star and his bestselling book My Traitor's Heart is a searing account of the relationship between violent crime and racial hatred and fear. As a reporter he was forced to look at the way his countrymen kill each other and to examine his own relationship to the horrors he witnessed. Malan takes Omnibus around the streets of Johannesburg and its black township Soweto and tries to find the answer to Ernest Hemingway's riddle 'to live in Africa you must know what it is to die in Africa'.
