His decision in 2003 as National Director of Public Prosecutions not to prosecute then deputy president, Jacob Zuma, is a decision he still stands by to this day. In this sweeping biography, based on many hours of interviews with Ngcuka, author Marion Sparg uncovers the roots of his fearless activism and tells his side of the story. She goes back in time to his modest beginnings in the Eastern Cape, to his lawyering years with the formidable Griffiths Mxenge, his various periods of detention, exile, and his homecoming. Ngcuka played a critical role in establishing the National Prosecuting Authority, the elite crime-busting unit the Scorpions, and other mechanisms to tackle the country's crime and corruption problems. Soon he faced one of his most difficult tasks - confronting former comrades who had become involved in illegal activities. The Sting in the Tale is a first-hand account of our most recent legal and political history. It is also an intriguing story about political manoeuvrings, bombings and hijackings, urban-terror and "whispering" campaigns, lies, murder, alleged spies, intrigue, family and love. -- $c Publisher's description. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 600 10 $a Ngcuka, Bulelani. 610 20 $a National Prosecuting Authority of South Africa. 610 27 $a National Prosecuting Authority of South Africa $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00760122 650 0 $a Public prosecutors $z South Africa $v Biography. 650 0 $a Lawyers $z South Africa $v Biography. 650 0 $a Criminal justice, Administration of $z South Africa. 650 0 $a Politicians $z South Africa $v Biography. 650 0 $a Political activists $z South Africa $v Biography. 650 0 $a Ombudspersons $z South Africa. 650 0 $a Political corruption $z South Africa. 650 7 $a Criminal justice, Administration of $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00883246 650 7 $a Lawyers $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00994346 650 7 $a Ombudspersons $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01715979 650 7 $a Political activists $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069192 650 7 $a Political corruption $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069240 650 7 $a Politicians $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069915 650 7 $a Politics and government $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a Public prosecutors $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01082827 651 0 $a South Africa $x Politics and government. 651 7 $a South Africa $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204616 655 7 $a Biographies $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117012345.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4555D1C44EAA11EDAB62559A42ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
