It devours politicians, professionals, businesspeople and ordinary workers in the chase for big bucks and the battle for a slice of an ever-shrinking cigarette market.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJoin one of South Africa's former tax sleuths Johann van Loggerenberg in a wild ride through the double-dealing world of tobacco's colourful characters and ruthless corporates. Meet the femme fatales, mavericks, mercenaries and grandmasters, and learn how the crime-busting unit led by Van Loggerenberg at SARS and its 'Project Honey Badger' became a victim of a war between industry players and a high-stakes political game driven by state capture. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is the tale of a few good men and women who dared to try to hold to account a billion-dollar international industry rife with private spy networks, tax evasion, collusion and corruption - ultimately at great cost to themselves and South Africa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Johann+van+Loggerenberg\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eJohann van Loggerenberg\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Johann van Loggerenberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47377209393315,"sku":"9780624081678","price":399.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9780624081678_5eedbbcd-b2c6-42de-9f1c-b729d0355495.jpg?v=1776480576","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9780624081678","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
