Tungkol sa ebook na ito
When in 2013 he first published a report on the active presence of Al-Qaeda in South Africa, all hell broke loose for investigative reporter De Wet Potgieter. He was forced to retract before a second, substantiating article could be published. Then the massacre at Westgate Mall hit Nairobi, which made the involvement of the so-called White Widow - operating on a legitimate but illegally acquired South African passport - front-page news. Suddenly the world's media was beating a path to Potgieter's door. Now, for the first time, he tells the full unsettling story of Al-Qaeda's presence in this country. Not only is the veil lifted from this mysterious British woman, but the identity of another is disclosed: an Afrikaans-speaking counter-terrorist operative known as the Black Widow.The book shows how, taking advantage of corrupt state machinery, Al-Qaeda factions launch attacks in other countries. It discloses the location of a terrorist training camp in the Karoo and reveals disturbing details of the support they receive from various local extremist groups. Based on investigations spanning two years, Black Widow White Widow paints a frightening picture of the all too real possibility of future attacks from, or on, South African soil.

Tungkol sa may-akda
De Wet Potgieter het sy joernalistieke loopbaan in 1974 by Oggendblad in Pretoria begin en het ʼn baie produktiewe en opwindende 38 jaar in die media beleef. Maar dit is nog geensins op ʼn einde nie.
Hy het onder meer ook by Beeld in die Pretoria-kantoor, Die Burger in Kaapstad en is later tot nuusredakteur van Die Vaderland in Johannesburg bevorder waarna hy vanaf 1986 tot 1993 tydens die interresantste en stormagtigste tye in die geskiedenis van Suid-Afrika as ondersoekende joernalis en militêre korrespondent gewerk het.
