Thanks for listening to this episode of Pagecast, brought to you by Jonathan Ball Publishers. Today's podcast features the Jonathan Ancer and his latest book Bullshit: 50 Fibs That Made South Africa. An outrageous miscellany of lies, myths, untruths, fibs and fabrications that tell the woeful history of South Africa. Aimed at offending and entertaining everyone in equal measure, this will have South Africans sniggering and spluttering into their porridge. It will also pique their curiosity. The lies come thick and fast, like a burst sewerage pipe. Way, way back the Europeans ‘discovered' southern Africa and found a land that was largely uninhabited. Um, no. On the other hand, Africa was a paradise before the settlers pulled in. Not quite! Back in the darkest of ages (the 1970s!), citizens were told that there were Satanic messages if you played The Beatles songs backwards. During the civil war in Angola, there were no South African troops in that country. National icon Hansie Cronje was a paragon of virtue and integrity … until he wasn't. President Nelson Mandela told us that we, as a nation, were ‘special'. Turns out we aren't. Jonathan Ancer has written, after consulting with historians and barflies, a fascinating and witty collection of the lies we've been told – and the lies we tell ourselves. In this episode, Jonathan is in conversation with Rebecca Davis, Senior Journalist at the Daily Maverick and author. Enjoy!

In 2002, Hansie Cronje, the disgraced former captain of South African cricket, tragically died in a plane crash aged only 32. I was on the tour in early 2000 in India where Cronje played his last two matches for South Africa - after which the match-fixing scandal emerged.Cronje was accused of accepting money from bookmakers in India to throw cricket matches.At first the allegations were denied by Cronje. But soon it became clear that there was more to this story than met the eye. Hansie was found guilty of match fixing, which brought his professional playing career to an untimely end. In 2019 I met Hansie's sister, Esther to learn the truth behind her brother Hansie – the former golden boy of South African cricket. The following extract I wrote for my book from my book, Vuvuzela Dawn. This is the real story of Hansie Cronje.Donate to The Luke Alfred Show on Patreon.Get full written episodes of the show a day early on Substack.Check out The Luke Alfred Show on YouTube and Facebook.

Today we are discussing the notorious Air Aquarius Flight HS-748, as many will know during a routine cargo run just South of George, South Africa, while carrying former SA Cricket Captain Hansie Cronje crashed into the mountain and took the lives of 3 souls on board. With a storm of media covering this tragic event, this story had an extra edge of a scandal due to the accusations against Hansie Cronje for match-fixing within SA Cricket that took South Africa by storm and the International Cricket World. Many questions surround this event, an inquest was ordered to investigate the events surrounding the crash and unpack whether the accident was more sinister than it initially appeared. Joining us to walk through the events is Bruce Hyde, who back in 2002 was the accessor to the judge during investigations. #ptcaviation #ptcindustrytalks

South African fast bowler Allan Donald (White Lightning) was one of the quickest and most awe-inspiring bowlers of recent decades. As scary as he was on-the-field, he is equally a friendly and consummate gentleman off of it. Allan shares generously about the stories behind his stellar career. He opens up about some of his duals against the world's best batsmen that remain stuff of legends. He shares how his career unfolded alongside that of close friend and captain Hansie Cronje, and the devastation of Cronje's involvement in match-fixing. He also opens up about the infamous run out between him and Lance Klusener in 1999 World Cup semifinal, and the impact of it on him personally. This and so much more. Such is the respect for Allan's knowledge and experience, since retirement from the international game, he has been appointed coach in numerous teams and leagues around the world, including in five different international teams. In 2019 he was inducted into the International Cricket Council Hall of Fame.

There isn't a person in cricket who has seen as much as today's Maverick Sports podcast guest, but even by the wild standards of South African sport, the last two weeks in local cricket have been amongst the most dramatic ever. Not since the Hansie Cronje match-fixing scandal has South African cricket been in such a state of disarray. Ideally it should be in a state of introspection too, having lost an R80-million-a-year sponsorship from Standard Bank, having four board members resign, the CEO suspended pending a forensic audit as well as many other issues plaguing Cricket South Africa. Tony Irish, the outgoing CEO of the South African Cricketers' Association (Saca) has been at the coal face of many of the goings on and he shares his insights and experiences to reveal the inner workings of professional cricket in South Africa.

Toe die aanvanklike bewerings van wedstrydknoeiery teen Hansie Cronje gemaak is, kon niemand dit glo nie. Dit spook egter steeds by die sport. Toe die Proteas onlangs vyf vangkanse verbrou en verloor, is wedstrydknoeiery die eerste ding waaraan baie ondersteuners gedink het.
