Comment: There are a lot of sources here that don't meet WP:RS - remove those wherever you can. is there biographical coverage of him anywhere other than in the Daily Maverick? Those look good but it would be best to have multiple sources. How about (professional, in newspaper or magazines) reviews of his book? asilvering (talk) 20:39, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
