Herman Mashaba paid Prince Mashele R12.5m to write his unauthorised biography of Herman Mashaba which was authorised after all

Herman Mashaba paid Prince Mashele R12.5m to write his unauthorised biography of Herman Mashaba which was authorised after all. Ghost writers/authors are paid about R250,000 - R350 000. What kind of Money laundering is this?

A report by TimesLIVE reveals that Mashaba and Mashele entered into an agreement about the book several years ago. The publication reported that the secret agreement was reached in 2019..

Mashele and Malada used to be members of the Midrand Group. The Midrand Group around 2013 and the duo were directors of Great Potential for South Africa. Malada worked for the City of Johannesburg under the DA run by Herman Mashaba. Which means when Mashaba left DA, he was one of the DA people who left with him. Malada became an important member of ActionSA because of his strong background in DA led.

Malada has written to the publishers, informing them of the agreement and alerting them to Mashele’s failure to acknowledge his contribution. He asked the publishers to recall the book and make corrections.

After raising his concerns with 

Jonathan Ball Pub, Brutus Malada said Prince Mashele slapped him with a cease and desist letter from Werksmans Attorneys.  A senior researcher and consultant who worked on the book, Brutus Malada, exposed the author and accused Mashele of duping the public and the publisher Johnathan Ball for not saying that Mashaba funded the book. Malada stated that he was paid R3 million for his contribution to the book titled The Outsider: The Unauthorised Biography of Herman Mashaba.
