The Reyger Conspiracy

About the Book

Following the Sharpeville massacre on 21 March 1960 in South Africa, right-wing elements break off from the Afrikaner Broederbond and form the Reyger, an organization named after one of the sailing ships in Jan Van Riebeeck’s fleet that anchored at Table Bay, South Africa, in April of 1652. They believe they are the verlighte—the enlightened.

Led by the Shepherd—Frederick Van Wilhelm V, the undisputed czar of Afrikaner—the Reyger draws up a master plan called the Voogskap strategy to influence the selection of government leadership in post-apartheid South Africa to ensure white mastery.
On the other side is Jefferson Makanda, a young black man who has lost his father, uncle, and cousin because of race issues. He joins the African National Congress and trains to support the cause when he realizes that life for a black man in South Africa is nasty, brutish, and short. He understands he may pay for his life while paving a better path for other blacks.

The Reyger Conspiracy follows a trail of betrayal, deceit, and love as the Voogskay strategy unfolds and others try to defeat it.
