Formidable former public prosecutor Glynnis Breytenbach, launches her book Rule of Law – a memoir on Tuesday September 12, 2017.

The book, co-written with Nechama Brodie, looks back over her legal career of 26 years, and discusses why the rule of law is critical to the future of South Africa. She also has some pithy things to say about how some of the people she worked with in the NPA.

Breytenbach, now the DA’s shadow minister for justice, is quoted on the cover: “Oeloff de Meyer once said that I would prosecute my own mother. He meant it as an insult, of course. I took it as a compliment.”
