A Man, A Fire, A Corpse
Published By - Blackbird BooksBook Description
A Man, A Fire, A Corpse tells the story of Captain Amos Maneta: a man who was most often referred to as The Top Cop of Soweto (as written by his son Rofhiwa Maneta). The book is a collection of bruises - both physical and metaphysical - that the author`s father collected in his 30-plus years in the police service.
Through his father`s story, Rofhiwa Maneta examines the relationship between the police and public, South Africa and violence and what it takes to be an honest policeman in a department whose groundwater is corruption and maladministration. A Man, A Fire, A Corpse is a mix of journalism, remembered history, anecdote and autobiography.
