Skimmed over it, most if it is superfluous bullshit. Poorly written superfluous bullshit.
Author insinuates that Roux was doing hacker shit in the late 80s in SA as a teenager, but South Africa in the 80s and 90s was a complete shitshow disconnected from the internet. Apartheid basically made it impossible for private citizens to communicate with the outside world without the government knowing. International phone lines were expensive as fuck and phone lines were switchboards where operators listened in on calls. In other words, communications were monitored.
South Africa got its first IP address in 1988, and had its first internet connection in 1991. It was between Rhodes University and some fuckhole neckbeard in Portland, Oregon.
Yet the author fucking claims Roux was caught by police in the late 80s for selling pornography online.

So, basically, you don't understand how people got “online” most of the 80s without having a single bit of IP stack on their computers. You also overestimate the power of authoritarian state and underestimate its stupidity. Even in USSR, there was a team of computer scientists who regularly logged into some European BBS and chat there without being monitored (because they were the only people in the country who understood and used something like that). Also, phreakers and abuse of mostly unprotected communication channels of private companies were well known and well documented in US.
The story is suspicious because we don't have enough information, not because all of that information is made up.

"Many of Le Roux’s operations seemed utterly quixotic. “I remember he phoned me at one point in a panic, wanting a list of all the farmland in Zimbabwe available,” Lulu told me. That request, it turned out, was part of a scheme to lease land from the Zimbabwean government and then bring back white farmers who had lost the land when it shed colonialism and minority white rule in the early 1980s. To make the deal happen, Le Roux had asked an Israeli named Levi Kugel to find an international lobbyist and former Israeli-intelligence agent named Ari Ben-Menashe, who had close ties to Zimbabwe’s leader, Robert Mugabe. Le Roux subsequently paid Ben-Menashe $12 million to lobby Mugabe. “We want recognition that injustice was done in the past and that the land-reform program corrects that,” Le Roux told the Washington newspaper The Hill, in what appears to be the only media statement he’s ever given."
