Judge Nicholson, a celebrated author and public speaker, has penned several award-winning books, including the notable Who Killed Chris Hani? Jeeven Padayachee, who sits on the fair’s committee, said, “His presence at the Merebank Fair is a significant achievement, thanks to the efforts of Anivesh Singh of Micromega Publications.”
The conversation with Judge Nicholson will take place from 14:30 to 15:15, providing a unique opportunity for the public to gain insights into his extensive research and writing. This event is a rare chance to interact with a prominent figure whose work has had a profound impact on South African history and literature.

It is an excellent opportunity for learners to engage with a distinguished author and gain a deeper understanding of South Africa’s rich and complex history.
