Towards the end of apartheid, white South Africans found themselves in the middle of new social and political change that showed itself in some strangely morbid ‘symptoms’. This book discusses two of the primary symptoms that appeared in the media and in popular literature at the time – an apparent threat from a cult of white Satanists and a so-called epidemic of white family murder. These two ‘moral panics’ reveal important truths about the attitudes of white culture at that time, revealing both a social response to fear of change and the effects that apartheid may have had on those who benefited from it the most.
