Gert du Toit discusses his childhood, his encounter with a pedophile when he was nine-years-old, and how and why he struggled to process his trauma on his own for fifty years before consulting a psychologist.

“Ek het lanklaas ’n boek gelees waarin iemand hom- of haarself so slim en in detail ontleed ... Ná hierdie boek behoort Kleingert Grootgert te wees,” Dana Snyman

Gert du Toit was born in Alberton in 1963 and grew up in Pretoria. He joined the South African Police at the age of sixteen and served in various locations, including Oshakati. Later, he worked for a security company, before managing a restaurant in the Cape.

South African author Anemari Jansen is the founder of Koorsboomstories, where she helps aspiring writers document their memoirs.
