Lolly Jackson

The Lolly Jackson murder case – a mix of elements that has grabbed the public’s imagination. Fast cars, fast money, murder, revenge, missing millions and smashed up Teazers clubs. With kilometres of newspaper headlines and a body count growing by the week, the insatiably curious public is still no closer to the truth. Amidst the confusing reports, money laundering on a grand scale, SARS investigations and the mafia-like killings, Jacana Media brings you the inside story in a book entitled: Lolly Jackson: When fantasy becomes reality. The book opens on the night of Lolly’s murder and is a personal, inside track into the reality of Lolly's private and business lives, as never before made public. Intimate and detailed, it provides the reader with a fascinating view of a previously only imagined world.

Sean Newman began working for Lolly a year before his death. For the year before his murder and for a full year after his death, he lived the brand and became integral in not only the day-to-day operations as media, marketing and public relations manager, but also as a keen observer of everything that really happened in the twelve months before Lolly’s death and the twelve that came after it. While the public read the articles in the media, he himself lived every moment.Peter Piegl is the founding editor of Playboy South Africa and the writing power behind the book. Not as caught up in it as Newman, Piegl brings a critical view to the book. Karyn Maughan, a legal journalist at eNEWS in Johannesburg, describes herself as hanging out at crime scenes and occasionally bowling alleys in an effort to find out just what the hell is going on.
