It asks why, after 5 years since the end of the Zuma administration, have most people implicated in state corruption still not been prosecuted[2][3] and examines efforts to fight corruption in the post-Jacob Zuma ANC government under Cyril Ramaphosa.

[4] A particular focus of the book is on the SSA and its head, appointed by President Jacob Zuma, Arthur Fraser.

It examines a number of issues ranging from the allegedly corrupt systematic funneling of large sums of public money from the SSA to fund the ANC, and internal ANC power battles in support of former president Zuma, to alleged links between the leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), Julius Malema, and suspected illicit tobacco trader Adriano Mazzotti.

[5] The book alleges that a number of corrupt senior police officials and prosecutors in the SAPS, crime intelligence, Hawks, and the National Prosecuting Authority are still in positions of power thereby preventing investigations and prosecutions for state corruption.

[8][9] Jeremy Gordin, in a review for the South African political news aggregator PoliticsWeb, described the book as being more about the "life and “adventures”" of the author than as a sequel to the Presidents Keepers whilst also being a "thorough, proficient (and sometimes entertaining) compilation" of the state corruption it examines.
