CAPE DOMINION

Cape Dominion is a gripping, new political thriller which sees the unlikely collaboration of Cape Town’s wealthiest Coloured businessman with the leading gang bosses on the Cape Flats to gain political control for the Coloured Community for the first time in their traumatic history. The unique plot sees Johan Baatjies become the puppet master, pulling the strings of the three main gang bosses, Stanley Jantjies, Malik Sufyan and Whitey Parker. Leader of the United Coloured Party, Elaine Pecker, is the final part of the puzzle which could end in her and her all-coloured party’s absolute political domination of the Western Cape after the upcoming elections. “All we need to do is to ensure that every single Coloured person vote for you, Elaine.” Says Johan. Mere months before the election, Johan, orchestrates several political incidents involving the unwitting gang bosses and their families. These incidents are given unprecedented exposure on social media through deliberate online troll manipulation. However, it whips up a furious political fervour among the gangs, who control the Cape Coloured Communities, to coerce the people to vote for Elaine. Johan ups the ante with a unique Money Box campaign via the churches and mosques. The Money Box campaign is in-fact a clever, and fool-proof money-laundering scheme which all but guarantees the outcome of the vote. But will it succeed? The book sheds light on the brutal and ruthless, survivalist nature of the lives of the gangsters, including their international ties to places like China, Nigeria and Italy. It also lifts the veil on the horrific generational trauma experienced by innocent victims of gang violence. In fact, when young Whitney, aged 4, is found brutally raped, sodomised and murdered, it ignites the fire that provides the thrust to get the voters to the polls. Cape Dominion grabs hold of the reader from the outset and never let’s go. Will Elaine Pecker be the first leader of the first majority Coloured party to win dominion over the entire Cape, for the first time since the arrival of Jan van Riebeek?
