“ ’n Palet. Ek kon dit nie neersit nie…
“ …’n werk van monumentale omvang, direk en sonder doekies omdraai of leë ophemeling. ‘n ‘Pik-hagiografie’ is dit geensins nie, maar ’n werk wat van groot navorsing en kennis spreek, van ‘n fyn aanvoeling sonder soetsappighede of verdoeseling.”
- Marinus Wiechers, voorheen professor in die Staats- en Volkereg en oud-rektor, Unisa.
“I enjoyed it immensely.”

“A palette. I couldn’t put it down …
“ … a work of monumental scope, direct, with no mincing of words or empty praise. This is no “Pik hagiography” but a work that shows evidence of intensive research and broad knowledge, sensitive but without sentimentality or obfuscation.”
- Marinus Wiechers, professor emeritus in Constitutional, International and Indigenous Law and former principal, Unisa.
“I enjoyed it immensely.”
