Description

Life was good in early 1976. White South Africans’ favourite song was ABBA’s 'Dancing Queen'. Then came the Soweto student uprising of 16 June. It was the end of normal.

As a young reporter, Max du Preez witnessed the first stones thrown and the first shots fired on the morning of 16 June. Raised in a conservative Afrikaner Christian Nationalist family in Kroonstad, it was also the end of his normal. He rebelled against his upbringing and, for the past half century, he’s had a front-row seat witnessing South Africa’s darkest and brightest moments.

In The End of Normal he explores how otherwise decent people – his own people – came to implement and support apartheid. He examines the long-term impact of 16 June and takes a hard look at attitudes today.
