Summary

An outrageous miscellany of serious and light-hearted lies, myths, untruths, fibs and fabrications that tells the tall tale of South Africa. 
  
The fibs come thick and fast, like a burst sewerage pipe:Why everything we’ve learnt about Shaka Zulu, ‘Africa’s Napoleon’, is a pack of lies.Back in the darkest of ages (the 1970s!), citizens were told that there were satanic messages if you played some of The Beatles songs backwards.National icon Hansie Cronje was a paragon of virtue, and integrity … until he wasn’t.President Nelson Mandela told us that we, as a nation, were ‘special’. Turns out we aren’t. 
  
Whether a fabulous fib, an artful con, a doctor’s spin, or simply a bald-faced lie, there’s something for everyone.
