- Summary:
- Dimitri Tsafendas embodied the tragedy of apartheid. The bastard son of a Greek father and an African mother, he killed Prime Minister Hendrik Verwoerd, the architect of apartheid and his misery. Van Woerden recreates the assassin's cursed life and the society that created him in a country itself gone mad.
