Buntu Swisa has penned a captivating biography that delves into the remarkable life of Dan Qeqe, a legendary sportsman, influential figure, and pioneer of black rugby and the liberation of sport. Through his book, Swisa explores the intricate and often controversial relationships that Qeqe forged with those who opposed non-racial sport, solidifying his position of power. At the same time, Siwisa weaves a narrative that encompasses Qeqe's life and times, while also providing a social and political biography of Port Elizabeth—a people's history of the city. While Qeqe was a local hero, his accomplishments had far-reaching national implications, and their impact continues to be felt today.
