One Man

5 December 2013. Nelson Mandela is dead and a nation mourns. But as tributes pour in from international heads of state and the news teams endlessly interview political analysts and graduates of The University, the effect of one man on the psyche of ordinary South Africans is almost overlooked. One Man seeks to redress this balance. This is a novel that takes us to the very heart of what Nelson Mandela meant to the people of South Africa (of all races, classes, colours and creeds).
Six characters, one night - a night that would change each one of them in ways they could never have imagined.
One Man is a novel that explores what it means to be South African twenty years after Mandela became president and how the life of this one man and his death, in December 2013, created change in all of us.
A fast-paced thriller with a political edge. A twenty-first century Tsotsi with a twist unlike any other. A concept novel written to be in store on the anniversary of Madiba's passing.
A tribute. An homage.
The author of One Man will remain anonymous. The novel is a stand-alone project written as a response to Madiba's death.
