Matisonn keeps his audience spellbound
Community icon and member of the Board of Directors of the SA Jewish Report, Bertie Lubner (right), was among the audience that packed the Rabbi Cyril Harris Community Centre in Johannesburg last week Sunday to listen to a talk by South African author John Matisonn (left) on his recently published book, “God, lies and spies”.

Matisonn’s book is a riveting account of the “inside story” of the tumultuous apartheid years, written from the perspective of a well-connected and highly-regarded journalist.
By spelling out an “unvarnished” examination of the past, Matisonn also pinpoints the roots of some of the important challenges facing post-apartheid South Africa and suggests practical ways for South Africans to dig themselves out of the holes in which they find themselves in. “God, lies and spies” by John Matinson is available from Exclusive Books.
