Mathatha Tsedu (media veteran, former editor of Sunday Times & City
Press): ‘An easy-to-read chronicle of how two people personally
involved with Survé's papers witnessed the decimation of the media
company. It is also about the role of the people – some of whom
today pose as paragons of journalistic virtue – who aided the
erosion of editorial integrity.’
