I disagree, punishment is highly likely.  Zuma's government will in time bring all the resources of the state to fight Pauw and his publishers.  Anyone who appreciates the great risks taken by Pauw and his publishers should regard their R250 to R350 investment in the book or eBook a starting point in their investment to bring Zuma down; put more into the crowd fund to fight Zuma.  Or if they were unable to get a legal version, more the price of the book and more into crowdfunding.

PS I bought a copy of the book last Tuesday and am almost finished it. Despite the reports yesterday about vast numbers of pirated copies of the book circulating on social media and claims that this is the most pirated book in SA history, I could not find any links. Clearly I dont know the right people..... So I searched on the internet and eventually found a copy of the pdf had been uploaded to this site.
