Paul Holden has spent the last 15 years exposing grand corruption, starting with the Arms Deal. Paul has written five books on South Africa and global politics. He appeared multiple times before the Zondo Commission of Inquiry to testify about how much money was stolen through state capture, and how this money was laundered around the world. Paul is currently Director of Investigations at Shadow World Investigations, which he co-founded with his long-time colleague Andrew Feinstein. One of Paul’s earlier books, The Arms Deal In Your Pocket, was an instant bestseller, and as with the Zondo Commission, Paul made submissions to the Seriti Arms Commission which investigated corruption in the Arms Deal. Finally, the book’s unique analysis of apartheid military culture shows how South Africa’s military units were far from monolithic and instead developed distinctive institutional practices, mythologies and concepts of militarised masculinity.
