Tafelberg Book Chat: Can We Be Safe? by Ziyanda Stuurman with Jonny Steinberg

NB Publishers

In this episode of Tafelberg Book Chats the author of Can We Be Safe? The future of policing in South Africa, Ziyanda Stuurman, chats to South African writer and scholar, Jonny Steinberg. In South Africa, both ‘crime’ and ‘safety’ are loaded terms. Ziyanda Stuurman unpacks the complex and fraught history of policing, courts and prisons in South Africa. In her analysis of the problems nationally and in putting those problems in context with the rest of the world, she concludes that more resources won’t necessarily lead to more safety. What then, will? Ziyanda unpacks this complex question deftly with a view of a better future for us all. Please note this episode was recorded during an Exclusive Books webinar launch in July 2021.
