Stand a chance to win a book
One lucky reader will stand the chance to win a copy of the biography of Glen Agliotti, by Peter Piegl and and Sean Newman, sponsored by Penguin South Africa.
The book tells the story of a magistrate who placed Glenn Agliotti among the ‘”nitches, pimps, and rats who would sell their soul to evade a long prison term”.
The press called him a drug trafficker and a drug dealer. He was. He’d admitted to these crimes and signed a plea bargain to grass on an associate.
He was also known as the Landlord, which made him sound like a mafia boss.
He was a facilitator between those in high places – think Jackie Selebi and businessmen on the make, such as Brett Kebble.
He was known as a fixer, and the go-to guy who commanded fees of R100-million to organise connections.
This is the story of the man who did business in coffee shops and met associates in car parks and underground garages. It is the story of the man who bought shoes for the national commissioner of police.
This is the story of Glenn Agliotti, one of Johannesburg’s sons of the underworld.
To enter the competition, simple sms the word “Agliotti” to 35718, by November 5.
The winner will be contacted telephonically.
SMSes are charged at R1.50 per sms.
