With the launch of his best-seller, “The President’s Keeper”, Jacques Pauw is currently on a national book tour.

Last night, he stopped off in his hometown of Tshwane.

The evening, which was opened by former finance minister Pravin Gordhan, was incident-free, reports News24:

Speaking at the launch of the book in Brooklyn Mall in Pretoria, Gordhan said South Africa needed more people like Pauw to show the minority of people bringing the country to its knees, that the majority would not allow that.

“It’s not my job to say whether the facts are true or not. At the end of the day, all of us know that the truth will prevail,” said Gordhan.

Then, Pauw spoke to the packed audience, saying he would “be consulting his defence team to prepare a bail application, in the event that he is arrested”:

“I can’t see how they can charge me for publishing false information because I haven’t broken the law.”
