Undercover with Mandela's Spies: The Story Of The Boy Who Crossed The Square

A national Bestseller

In 1988, South Africa teeters on the brink of chaos. Seventeen-year-old Bradley Steyn crosses Pretoria’s Strijdom Square and walks into a nightmare: Barend Strydom, the white supremacist ‘Wit Wolf,’ massacres black bystanders during their lunch break. Bradley cradles a dying man, confronting the insanity of a nation unraveling. Haunted by PTSD, consumed by rage, he spirals—until his parents send him to the SA Navy. There, the apartheid regime’s Security Branch recruits him as a classified enforcer to ‘fight Communism.’ But the underground ANC’s Department of Intelligence and Security (DIS) has other plans, pulling him into their fold.

As FW de Klerk rises, the ANC is unbanned, and Nelson Mandela walks free, a sinister Third Force—neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and the deep state—schemes to ignite a race war. With South Africa’s future at stake, Bradley goes undercover for the DIS to thwart a plot to assassinate Mandela at his inauguration. Racing against time, can he unravel the extremists’ plan before they discover he’s one of Mandela’s spies? This gripping true-life thriller unveils secrets of a dirty war and holds up a historical mirror, revealing how to resist an authoritarian, weaponised political regime today.
