This time, the chosen African leader to be assassinated is the president of the Ivory Coast, who has broken with other African leaders, and has agreed to open up diplomatic relations with apartheid South Africa, during a state visit to Nigeria.

When Nigeria discovers this plot, it must decide whether to cancel the visit or confront the Broederbon agents. When the President  decides to challenge this vicious plot by the apartheid regime, he turns to Africa's No.1 agent, Chima Amadi, who Voerster has targeted as his number one enemy to eliminate towards achieving the apartheid regime's diabolical plot.

Grace Mphahlele, a young member of the African National Congress during the Sharpeville Massacre, is wanted by the Bureau of State Security, but escapes from South Africa through the assistance of a group of Catholic Nuns who relocate to Nigeria. Concerned about the son she had left behind with her parents in South Africa, she unwittingly identifies her location and the South African Broederbond sends a white agent posing as a Nun, who eventually blackmails her into working for the apartheid government in exchange for her son joining her in Nigeria.  She leaves the Nunnery and is set up in business with lots of money, changes her name to Gloria Essien, and because of her tremendous success, is able to reach the highest echelons of the Nigerian society and government.

Rafiu Adenusi is the Inspector-General of Police in Nigeria, the highest police post in the country. Gloria Essien bribes him to betray his government and work with the South African agents.

Adriaan van Verbeek is the Deputy Attorney-General of the racist South African government who, because of his incestuous relationship with his daughter, is forced to engineer the escape of Ezekiel Mphahlele, Grace Mphahlele's son, who the Broederbond had used to blackmail her into their cause.

"The Broederbond Conspiracy" is a novel of high suspense, sex as well as sadistic sex and violence on the part of the South African agents, as they openly disdain and articulate their belief in the inferiority of Africans, and why South Africa belongs to the whites.  It is the story of the triumph of good against the evil of apartheid.  Chima Amadi is the hero that every black person across the globe will identify with.  He is the embodiment of the superior intellect of one black man against a group of supremacist whites determined to continue the subjugation of the majority of Black Africans in South Africa.

In contemporary settings, "The Broederbond Conspiracy" is a reminder of the recent attempt by a group of white South Africans, led by Simon Mann and former British Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher's son, Sir Mark Thatcher, in plotting to seize the government of the Equatorial Guinea, rich in oil.
