Jannie Mouton - and then they
fired me
Carie Maas
R259 at Takealot
Losing is not a word in Jannie
Mouton’s vocabulary. One of South
Africa’s greatest success stories, Jan-
nie Mouton built his business from
scratch after getting fired at age 48.
Straight-talking Mouton tells the
inside story of how he started PSG,
turning it into a triumphant success
in only 15 years. Today the companies he is involved in have
a market capitalisation of R61 billion. Known in the industry
for being difficult, Mouton nevertheless has a soft heart and a
passion for poetry. Outspoken and not scared of controversy,
Jannie Mouton has only once managed to sack an employee
himself. In this title, Jannie Mouton spills the beans on what
really went on behind the scenes. He talks openly of even the
most controversial transactions he has been involved in. With
his typical honesty and humour, he freely shares his business
and investment advice.
Long-Distance Real Estate In-
vesting: How to Buy, Rehab, and
Manage Out-of-State Rental
Properties
David Greene
$16.35 at Amazon
Real estate investing is one of the
greatest vehicles to build wealth,
but it doesn’t make sense in every
market. Some locations provide in-
credible returns, while others make
it almost impossible to find a single
property that profits. Traditionally, investing out of state has
been considered risky and unwise. But the rules, technology,
and markets have changed: No longer are you forced to invest
only in your backyard! In his book, real estate investor and
police officer David Greene shows you exactly how he’s built
a multi-million dollar portfolio on blue-collar wages buying
out of state rental property without ever even seeing it. David
shares every tip, trick, and system he has put in place while
buying and rehabbing over twenty rental properties so you
can avoid making mistakes and shorten your learning curve
immensely.
Ministry of Crime
Mandy Wiener
R285 at Exclusive Books
As a follow up to the bestselling
Killing Kebble: An Underworld
Exposed (2010), the new book
from Mandy Wiener, Ministry of
Crime: An Underworld Explored,
examines how organised crime,
gangsters and powerful political
figures have been able to capture
the law enforcement authorities
and agencies. These various organisations have been eviscerat-
ed, hollowed out and left ineffective. They have been infiltrat-
ed and compromised and, as a result, prominent underworld
figures have been able to flourish in South Africa, setting up
elaborate networks of crime with the assistance of many cops.
The criminal justice system has been left exposed and it is cru-
cial that the South African public knows about the capture
that has occurred on different levels.
