Loading player...
Listen as the Good Things Guy delves into who the "real" bad guys are, how Mandy Wiener deals with intimidation when speaking to thugs, gangsters and corrupt officials and how the average South African can help fight corruption and state capture.

This is us finding the good things in her new book "Ministry Of Crime" and also speaking about writing a book (and what it takes).
