Muldergate: The Story of the Info Scandal by Mervyn Rees & Chris Day is an important South African political history title examining the events surrounding the notorious Information Scandal of the late 1970s. Published in 1980, the book provides a contemporary account of the controversy that became widely known as “Muldergate,” involving secret government funding, media influence and political manoeuvring during the apartheid era.
Written by journalists Mervyn Rees and Chris Day, Muldergate traces the development of the scandal, the key individuals involved and the investigations that brought the affair into public view. As a near-contemporary publication, it remains a valuable reference for readers interested in South African politics, investigative journalism, media history and twentieth-century Africana.
This hardcover copy is bound in bright red cloth with gilt titles to the spine and retains its striking original red, black and white dust jacket. The binding remains firm and the boards present well. Foxing is present, particularly to the endpapers and page edges, with heavier spotting visible along the upper edge of the text block. The dust jacket shows moderate shelf and edge wear, including rubbing, creasing and wear to the corners and spine ends, but remains complete.
Muldergate is a worthwhile addition to any collection of South African political history, journalism, Africana or apartheid-era studies.
