The practical wisdom that has guided Raymond Ackerman is revealed in this account of his roller-coaster ride as a businessman in a highly politicised society. His private passions and sound business ethics are shown to have enabled his passionate positive engagement with his country and with life.

Author Biography:

Raymond Ackerman has written a lively story of his life and career, full of incident, wonderful stories and controversy. He has not been afraid to cross swords with the powers that be or with other businessmen, and these episodes are frankly recounted. His account of his involvement in the Cape Town Olympic bid and the antagonism that developed between him and Sam Ramsamy, president of NOCSA, will be sure to fascinate readers.
