{"product_id":"9781920188344","title":"Pik Botha and his times","description":"\u003cp\u003eA biography of Pik Botha, one of South Africa's most colourful public figures, and at a stage the longest serving Foreign Minister in the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis biography reads like a novel: exciting, moving and humorous. It is the story of an inspiring politician who wrote verses on the back of cigarette boxes, a minister with the finesse of a battering ram, a peacemaker, an ambassador who never had to take 'No' for an answer, and a man who was happiest when sitting next to a campfire in the bush. And it is far more. Theresa Papenfus depicts Botha against the broader political and social background of his time. This work is also an account of a tempestuous period in South African history.\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+Theresa+Papenfus\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eTheresa Papenfus\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Theresa Papenfus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47375684501667,"sku":"9781920188344","price":399.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9781920188344_b442881c-5f32-4d41-97d8-3030d2c6f4ac.jpg?v=1776611977","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9781920188344","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
