I HAVE SEEN IT ALL: PETRUS MOLEMELA. By Charley Pietersen

This book celebrates the life and times of South Africa's Petrus Molemela, football administrator extraordinaire, who some pundits reckon was nigh-identical with Nigeria's (late) Lekan Salami. Salami was synonymous with the Shooting Stars club in Nigeria; whilst Molemela will always be synonymous with the Bloemfontein Celtic Club of South Africa. This book lifts the lid on Molemela, who was also a successful businessman, community leader among many other things.

Molemela was also an amazing scout, always on the look-out for exciting football talent across the borders (internationally) - hence an extraordinary galaxy of footballers would wear and grace the colours of Bloem Celtic over the decades, with the colourful Molemela at the helm.

This superb work shines scintillating light on the flamboyant, visionary Molemela - warts and all.

A LOTUS FOR MISS QUON. BY James Hadley Chase

The winner certainly takes it all here... Jaffe, rapacious and ruthless ensures that the diamonds he inadvertently finds in Vietnam, are his and follow him back to USA. The dead bodies pile up because of his discovery, including at least three people that he kills himself. Oh how his mistress, Miss Quon suffers since she genuinely loves him. One shudders just imagining the horrific tortures she is subjected to by the Security Police. But she protects Jaffe till she breathes her last. Incidentally in this work a young evil delinquent, Yo-Yo mirrors Jaffe on a smaller level as he successfully blackmails, steals and kills too. So, kudos. To two worthless individuals who "take it all"... I wonder sometimes why I read James Hadley Chase...
