Kirkens hemmelige agent/ The Church's Secret Agent
In the struggle against the South African apartheid system, few were as brave as Walter Khotso Makhulu, Anglican Archbishop in Botswana 1980-1999. He secretly channeled millions of Norwegian kroner - from the Norwegian Church Aid - into this fight. The security of the operation was so tight that until november 2000, few people knew anything about it. In this book Makhulu tells his story to Jon Magne Lund. The book is designed by Subtopia, and illustrated throughout with photos selected by Paul Weinberg. The photos are accompanied by recollections and comments from Walther Khotso Makhulu. Published by Press.
