Johannesburg Metropolitan Police Department (JMPD) Officer, Sibongile Nkabinde will launch her new book, Dice of Despair, in which she candidly opens up about her 18-year struggle with a crippling gambling addiction on Saturday, 31 May 2025.
The launch will take place at the Roodepoort Theatre at 14:00. The event is open to all attendees and supporters; tickets can be purchased via Webtickets.
Nkabinde, a dedicated public servant and proud member of JMPD’s Land Invasion Division, shares her raw and unfiltered account of addiction, resilience, and hope in Dice of Despair.
“Dice of Despair is a story of hope and resilience that I’m excited to share with all of you. In its pages, you’ll find an honest account of my addiction, my lowest moments, and ultimately, my triumph over adversity,” she says.
“My story is a testament that recovery is possible, and I hope it will inspire others to seek help and find their own path to healing.”
The launch event will include a reading from Dice of Despair, offering a glimpse into the depth of her narrative. This will be followed by a question-and-answer session to encourage open dialogue. Attendees will also have the opportunity for book signings and to enjoy a complimentary finger lunch.
