NATIONAL NEWS - Exclusive Books CEO Benjamin Trisk says he isn’t able to say whether Wednesday night’s power cut during the launch of the book The President’s Keepers in Hyde Park was a deliberate attempt at sabotaging the event.
Veteran investigative journalist Jacques Pauw’s book has sparked outrage from various government agencies with the state security threatening legal action if the book was not removed from the shelves.
Pauw and Exclusive Books held a discussion launch on Wednesday but the event had to be stopped shortly after it started due to a mysterious power cut.
In the weeks building up to last night’s book launch, Pauw says he has received messages demanding that he stop.
