Mark Wiley (son of former minister John Wiley) says the only way to get a book withdrawn is to go to court. #TheLostBoysofBirdIsland #BirdIsland #CarteBlanche @derekwatts
RT Did former National Party cabinet ministers ever fly young coloured boys to #BirdIsland off #PortElizabeth in the 1980s? @DerekWatts follows up on our previous story on the book, #TheLostBoysofBirdIsland, as new evidence comes to light. #CarteBlanche Sunday 7pm.
So Mark Minnie co-authors a book about a paedophile ring involving apartheid politicians, "commits suicide" only a few days before the book launch, while chasing further leads, and life goes on as if nothing of significance has happened?

Do we have the courage to speak, keep speaking amidst threats, doubts and deaths that come with threatened power? #Khwezi #TheLostBoysOfBirdIsland #AWWS18 #JoburgTheatre
Chris Steyn, co-author of #TheLostBoysofBirdIsland, will be on a panel with @RediTlhabi to discuss the topic: Writing the Truth in Contested Times at the 6th International African Women Writers Symposium in Johannesburg with @nombonisogasa as convenor.
All the more reasons to investigate further. The book speaks about staged suicides!

This was possibly the most powerful book festival talk I've ever attended. The presence of the late #MarkMinnie was there, as well as those of all the sexual-abuse victims. The truth must out. What a brutal mess our history is #thelostboysofbirdisland
Riveting, powerful testimonies by #ChrisSteyn and ‘Mayjean’ on #LostBoysofBirdIsland and abuse of power by elites on vulnerable boys - sensitively held by @MarianneThamm #OBF2018. We need to uncover more, talk about what happened - have justice. This pain and shame is deep.
Author, seasoned journalist and my former bureau editor Chris Steyn begins to detail her investigate background source to the book #TheLostBoysOfBirdIsland
My article on #MagnusMalan, masculinity and #TheLostBoysofBirdIsland atrocities. Do “soft men” rape boys? Can we better understand the claims looking at the film #Skoonheid? How about the context of power abuse at the time?

Is dit “sagte mans” wat kinders, insluitend seuns, verkrag? My rubriek oor #thelostboysofbirdisland en die idee dat #MagnusMalan te veel van 'n "man" was om seuns seksueel aan te rand. Via @Netwerk24 https://t.co/0bXvqFT8hw
