Beschreibung

A Man, A Fire, A Corpse tells the story of Captain Amos Maneta: a man who was most often referred to as 'The Top Cop of Soweto'; as written by his son Rofhiwa Maneta. The book is a collection of the physical and metaphysical bruises collected by the author's father in his 30-plus years of working in the police service. Through his father's story, Rofhiwa Maneta examines the relationship between police and the public. Maneta's mix of journalism, remembered history, anecdote and autobiography further discusses the relationship between South Africa and violence; while taking a look at what it takes to be an honest policeman in a department whose groundwater is corruption and maladministration.
