Africa’s No 1 Arts Bookstore and Publisher

‘Khwezi’ took on the fight against considerable odds. Zuma is one of the most popular and powerful political leaders of his time. She could not have known, however, the immense strength she would need to face the prolonged public attacks on her. As the Zuma supporters spat the words ‘Burn the Bitch’ outside the courtroom, the young woman faced an interrogation inside.

Her accusers, and the judge, concurred that having worn a kanga that evening, the complainant had, like so many other women, ‘asked for it’.

This book speaks truth to power — not just male power, but political power, religious and cultural power, imperial and military power. By using the trial of Jacob Zuma as a mirror, the book reveals the hidden yet public forms of violence against women in their homes, marriages, churches and political organisations.
