October 1971 Elijah Msibi. Drum lifts the mask of a murdered tycoon and finds the face of a man who built a fortune on liquor, dagga and rackets.. He looked the part of a benevolent tycoon, and generous he often was, but the smile in his eyes hid a mind like a calculating machine. It was a mind that kept him in comfort from the time he first got into the money game until the night of July 31 last year, when he was stabbed to death not far from his luxury home in Soweto. Here he could be at the funeral of fellow tycoon, Lefty Mthembu who was shot in front of his shop in 1969. (Photograph by Len Khumalo Baileys Archives) gangster
