“Uitskieter: Skrywer Julian Rademeyer” (Rapport)
“Hy het sy werk as ondersoekende joernalis gelos om dieper te delf in die storie agter renosterstropery. Die daaropvolgende Killing for Profit: Exposing the Illegal Rhino Horn Trade se eerste drukoplaag het binne twee weke uitverkoop. G’n wonder nie: dit lees soos ’n meesleurende riller, met dié verskil – dis alles waar,” skryf Bibi Slippers.
