About the Book

War rape victim Nancy Nujomba flees from the battleground that is the South West Africa/Angola border area in 1978 to South Africa seeking safety and security. In Uitenhage just outside Port Elizabeth, she witnesses the police massacre 22 people in March 1985 and her life is turned around as she and her friend Arthur Shipalana - having told their story to the local newspaper - are then hounded by the security police. News editor Daniel Jacobs takes them under his wing as the newspaper breaks the story of the decade and then has to go to extraordinary lengths to protect their two key witnesses. It is far from over as security policeman Frans Jonker has several axes to grind and is determined to track down his targets and prevent his secret from being made public. The book moves from Port Elizabeth during the early stages of the unrest to a private game reserve in the Transvaal and finally to London as they attempt to flee and tell their story to the world's media. Real Change tells a fast-paced tale of police harassment and murder, vengeance, sorrow and success against the turbulent background of a South Africa undergoing political upheaval, a process which eventually brought about real change and democracy.
About the Author: André Erasmus is an experienced journalist with over 30 years of newspaper and magazine experience. He worked in South Africa and latterly in the UK where he has lived since 2001. Real Change, his first novel, draws on his time as a daily newspaper's news editor in Port Elizabeth and also as a conscripted soldier in the South African Defence Force, doing active border duty in South West Africa (now Namibia). Besides writing, he's into music and plays bass guitar. He also enjoys the outdoors and camping - despite his time in the army; good food - probably because of his time in the army - and travel. André is married with four adult children and three cherished granddaughters.
