Tien jaar van vryheid: Stories uit die tronk

WITH Stefaans Coetzee FACILITATOR Jody Hendricks

After 23 years in prison, Roux Steyn may be released on parole, but he will have to go one year without violence. However, Roux has already failed the “anger management” course three times and is also a gang leader and drug dealer. He has a host of enemies who can’t wait to stick a knife in his kidneys. Prison is no place for teddy bears, but there is also a human in every monster. In 2025, Stefaans Coetzee celebrates ten years since he was released from prison. The author of Onbeskryflike genade shares sobering stories about the unforgiving life in prison in sel ses. But although Stefaans spent 18 years in 13 prisons himself, this collection of interconnected short stories is fictional and only inspired by his own time in detention. Stefaans talks about his life, his latest book and about ten years of freedom.
