Summary:

"The Unlikely Mr Rogue: A Life with Ivan Pillay' is the story of the quiet man behind the so-called 'rogue unit' at SARS. The much-acclaimed revenue service became a lightning rod for takedowns and shakedowns during the Jacob Zuma years. This book takes the reader on a journey from Ivan's growing up in Merebank, KwaZulu-Natal, to his politicisation, the underground and exile, and the story of Operation Vula, which Ivan ran from Lusaka, reporting to Oliver Tambo. In this extract, we delve into 'Project Snowman' at SARS"--Internet.
