The July 2021 South African civil unrest was a wave of chaos that plagued the provinces of KwaZulu Natal and Gauteng. Political contempt and social outrage sparked unprecedented violence, lawlessness, mistreatment, and a devastating communal divide. It cost South African citizens lives, safety, jobs, and pride. During this time Mbuso Moloi's once unheard-of name would be headlined alongside the infamous 'Mercedes-Benz Looter' after he was caught on camera allegedly looting a Woolworths store in Durban. The nine-second video featuring him emptying goods into his silver Mercedes-Benz would go viral overnight on all social media platforms, radio, news broadcasts and print media. The 'Mercedes-Benz Looter' would seemingly ignite a match to the prepared firewood that was set up all over South Africa and its people. Public opinion, political games, honesty, and humanity are questioned in this biography following this personal yet excruciatingly public case of the 'State v Mbuso Moloi', but as it would become: The People v The Mercedes Benz Looter.

This book was inspired by my beautiful daughter upon my grandfather's passing. At the time, she was only three years old, and she couldn't understand why mommy was so sad, and I couldn't stop crying. She kept trying to soothe my pain, and rubbing my hair saying, 'Don't cry mommy, you can see him again.' I knew I had to find a way to explain death to her, without it being too overwhelming for a child that young.I hope this helps other moms and dads who go through the same thing, trying to explain death to a child... too young to understand. May time help heal your broken hearts, and you feel the love of your relatives' blowing kisses through the wind from Heaven.
