The Outsider by Prince Mashele offers an unflinching portrait of Herman Mashaba — entrepreneur, political disruptor, and former Mayor of Johannesburg. Drawing on interviews, research, and Mashaba’s own reflections, the book traces his journey from humble beginnings in Hammanskraal to building Black Like Me and challenging South Africa’s political status quo. It is a compelling exploration of ambition, principles, and the will to defy expectations in business and public life.
