Aanstap Boere

Presented by Jonathan Ball

How does one make sense of life in a complicated country with a contested past? Max du Preez’s latest book, The End of Normal (also available in Afrikaans as Aanstap Boere), offers a meaningful analysis of the complexities South Africans face daily. Pieter du Toit talks to Max about the publication, which he describes as “one of 2026’s most important books”. With the benefit of age and experience, Du Preez provides hard earned answers to pressing questions.
