ABOUT OUR IMPRINTS

No Time Like the Present ‘Gordimer has undoubtedly become one of the world’s Great Writers … her rootedness in a political time, place and faith has never dimmed her complex gifts as an artist.’ Independent

‘I have never been to South Africa but I feel as though I have … Hers is a remarkable body of work.’ Penelope Lively, Financial Times

‘The towering figure of South African literature.’ Justin Cartwright, Spectator

‘Nadine Gordimer has earned a place among the few novelists who really matter.’

Nadine Gordimer Nadine Gordimer is one of our most telling contemporary writers. With each new work, she attacks – with a clear-eyed lack of sentimentality, and an understanding of the darkest depths of the human soul – the inextricable link between personal life and political, communal history. The exploration of this theme in each new work, not only in South Africa, but the twentyfirst century world, is evidence of her literary genius: in the sharpness of her psychological insights, the stark beauty of her language, the complexity of her characters and the difficult choices with which they are faced. In No Time Like the Present, Gordimer brings the reader into the lives of Steven Reed and Jabulile Gumede, a ‘mixed’ couple, both of whom have been combatants in the struggle for freedom against apartheid. Once clandestine lovers under racist law forbidding sexual relations between white and black, they are now in the new South Africa. The place and time where freedom – the ‘better life for all’ that was fought for and promised – is being created but also challenged by political and racial tensions, while the hangover of moral ambiguities and the vast and growing gap between affluence and mass poverty, continue to haunt the present. No freedom from personal involvement in these or in the personal intimacy of love. The subject is contemporary, but Gordimer’s treatment is timeless. In No Time Like the Present, she shows herself once again a master novelist, at the height of her prodigious powers.

Observer

Nadine Gordimer’s many novels include The Conservationist, joint winner of the Booker Prize, Get A Life, Burger’s Daughter, July’s People, My Son’s Story and The Pickup. Her collections of short stories include The Soft Voice of the Serpent, Something Out There, Jump, Loot and, most recently, Beethoven Was One-Sixteenth Black. She has also collected and edited Telling Tales, a story anthology published in fourteen languages, the royalties of which go to HIV/AIDS organisations. In 2010 her non-fiction writings were collected in Telling Times and a substantial selection of her stories was published in Life Times. Nadine Gordimer was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1991. She lives in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Sarah House ‘This is a story, told with passion, that the world – beaten out of shape by men who prey on the powerless – should hear.’ Mandla Langa

Ifeanyi Ajaegbo A compelling novel about a young woman’s life in a harrowing Nigerian world of human trafficking and prostitution. Sarah House will stay with you long after you finish reading this testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Nita wakes up in a dark world very different from the life of opportunities promised to her by Slim, the man she loved and trusted to take her away from the small town in Opobo in Nigeria. Soon she realises she is a slave, bought and sold without her consent and forced into a life of prostitution and sleazy strip clubs. Every day Nita walks a tightrope of survival surrounded by vicious pimps and thugs. She meets Tega, a fellow slave lured into prostitution by Slim; she is sold to Madam, who runs Sarah House and makes money from young women and children; she finds favour with Chief, an influential politician who provides protection for Madam’s illicit business; and she must survive Lothar, a renegade porn film maker. Life in this nightmare world gets more complicated when Nita meets young Damka and is approached by a police detective working undercover. When Damka disappears and Nita discovers the child’s bloodied clothes in a room in Sarah House, she knows she has to work with the police in spite of the dangers to her own life.

Ifeanyi Ajaegbo is a development consultant and communications practitioner who lives and works in Port Harcourt in Nigeria. His writing has won awards and fellowships, including the 2005 African regional prize for the Commonwealth Short Story Competition. Sarah House is his first novel.

Entanglement ‘Rare and highly welcome – a home-grown book of global class and calibre.’ Denis Beckett

‘The humour, compassion and insight that run through these pages speak of a firsttime novelist who should have come to the game a lot sooner. The maturity of Boykey Sidley’s metaphor is evidence not only of the wisdom he has won, but of the great twentieth-century writers who have touched him … This book reminds us why we read.’

Steven Boykey Sidley Jared Borowitz, charismatic physicist, is fast losing his sense of humour. The world is full of ignorant and superstitious fools. His mentor, a giant of science and logic, is dying. His ex-wife has switched gender preference. He has even punched someone for the first time in his life. And enjoyed it. His girlfriend, morally certain and strong willed, is worried. On a restorative weekend in the country with opinionated and urbane friends, Jared’s arrogance sets in motion a chain of events that brings menace and violence into their lives over a long night. Confronted by both the best and worst in men, he finds his preconceptions about humanity shattered. Entanglement ranges broadly across the tensions between science and belief, free will and fate, art and artefact, violence and justice, sex and love, arrogance and timidity. Darkly humorous, intellectually adventurous and continually surprising, the novel follows the transformation of a man of certainty and science when confronted with a world he does not know.

Kevin Bloom

Steven Boykey Sidley has divided his adult life between the USA and South Africa. He has meandered through careers as an animator, chief technology officer for a Fortune 500 company, jazz musician, software developer, video game designer, private equity investor and high technology entrepreneur. He currently lives in Johannesburg with his wife and two children. Entanglement is his first novel, sparked by a whiskeyfuelled dinner party debate.

Redemption Song

praise for bad blood by amanda coetzee

‘I simply couldn’t put it down, and finished it in one sitting.’

Amanda Coetzee

K.J. Mulder, Worldsinink.blogspot. com

She thought she would stop breathing. Looking back, she wished she had …

‘This is the sort of book that can be devoured in a single sitting – the writing is simple, the plot engaging and the pace quick enough to get the adrenalin flowing.’ Claire Reddie, You magazine

‘This assured debut grabs you by the throat in the prologue and doesn’t let up for 200 pages … Coetzee plots and paces immaculately. The story tears along, switching effortlessly between locations and decades as Harry uncovers a trail of dead youngsters. He’s one of the most refreshing heroes to come along in a while, and I can’t wait to meet him again.’

Dark, enigmatic hero Harry O’Connor, aka Badger, is on long leave from the London Metropolitan Police Force, living once more among the Traveller community he grew up with as he heals physically and mentally from the strains of his last case. When social worker Emily Meadows calls with news of a mother and daughter trapped in the clutches of a brutal Albanian warlord named Jak Kraja, Badger sets off on a mission to free them. When Badger tries to escape with his charges, things start to go horribly wrong. As Kraja’s net tightens, Badger turns to former police colleagues and the mysterious Albanian Traveller community for help. Badger must pit every ounce of his skills, wit and strength against a wily enemy and his henchmen as a thrilling race for survival unfolds.

When she isn’t writing crime thrillers, Amanda Coetzee works as a deputy headmistress. She grew up in Bedford, England, and now lives in Rustenburg with her husband and son. Redemption Song is Amanda’s second novel after her acclaimed debut crime thriller Bad Blood.

Survival Training for Lonely Hearts

previous praise for elana bregin

‘Shiva’s Dance [is] far from a saccharine formula of redemption. Instead it develops from a story of frightening self-destruction into one with a universal application.’ Tonight.co.za

Elana Bregin Kate is a burnt-out South African editor at the busy Centaur Press publishing house; over forty and lonely, she is driven to searching for love on the Internet like so many other overworked professionals. There she encounters the full spectrum of mid-life manhood, from the perilous to the pathetic to the promising. The challenges of finding a belated soulmate among the men of the apartheid generation pose not a few conundrums for Kate – chief among them, the realisation of how impassable are the gulfs in outlook between the men who cross her inbox and her own personal non-negotiables. She goes on some dates, accumulates some bruises, and has her eyes opened to a few things about herself along the way. But it is the collision with her own baggage that proves to be the most daunting encounter of all. The coming into her life of a young African dog is the catalyst that forces her to some painful realisations: in order to find the intimacy she longs for, she first has to deal with her own destructive patterns. She loses her heart, finds her mojo and, as in all good quest journeys, discovers that the map is not the territory.

For the past eight years Elana Bregin has worked as a full-time editor for publishers. Prior to that she was a freelance editor, copywriter, dancer, dance teacher and ‘general factotum’. She’s worked at everything from office admin to theatre promotion to academic lecturing and tutoring, with a range of activities in between. She lives in Assagay, Durban, and writes in her spare time. Survival Training for Lonely Hearts is her fourth published novel.

The Agony Chef Recipes and Advice for Life’s Pickles and Predicaments Kate Sidley It has tried-and-tested recipes in it, but it isn’t a cookbook. It’s made up, but it isn’t a novel. Agony Chef, the mysterious Delilah, is a witty advice-giver, food-lover and a bit of a know-it-all who seems rather like the alter ego of author Kate Sidley, but isn’t her, actually. There’s no problem, big or small, that sardonic advice, a good pun and a well-chosen recipe won’t solve. Whether you’ve run over the neighbour’s cat or want to feel like Mother of the Year, whether your son’s exited the closet or you’ve just smoked your last cigarette, Agony Chef Delilah is the go-to girl for the vexing situations of modern life. Part-agony aunt, part-foodie, Delilah has been there, cooked that. Neither psychologist nor chef, she’s lived an eventful life on a few continents, making and fixing mistakes both in the kitchen and in everyday life. Join Delilah as she shares her wit and wisdom, her opinions and recipes and her touching belief that food and good humour can mend fences and hearts in The Agony Chef, a unique concept in cookery books that puts hilarious, fictitious agony aunt columns alongside delicious, real recipes. • • • • •

Learn how to control an errant husband with passive-aggressive cooking Discover the mysterious etiquette that applies to the newly facelifted Indulge in the marvellous magic of make-up ceps Make a pasta dish so delicious that your guests weep and beg for your hand in marriage Find answers to the trickiest modern day questions: What should I cook for my obese aunt? How do I welcome my fiancé’s gorgeous ex? When did a food aversion become an acceptable replacement for a personality? And many more …

Kate Sidley writes a weekly column on books for Sunday Times and a monthly humour column for Shape magazine. Previously a magazine editor, she now writes features and columns for many magazines and newspapers. The Agony Chef is her first book. Kate loves to cook, but lays no claim to ‘chefiness’.

Eight Days in September The Removal of Thabo Mbeki ‘I admire the courage with which Frank Chikane engages and reflects on the crucial period in our country’s history he is writing about.’ Nomboniso Gasa

Frank Chikane Eight Days in September is a riveting, behind-the-scenes account of the turbulent eight-day period in September 2008 that led to the removal of Thabo Mbeki as president of South Africa. As secretary of the cabinet and head (director-general) of the presidency at the time, Frank Chikane was directly responsible for managing the transition from Mbeki to Kgalema Motlanthe, and then on to Jacob Zuma, and was one of only a few who had a front-row seat to the unfolding drama. Eight Days in September builds substantially on the so-called Chikane Files, a series of controversial articles Chikane published with Independent Newspapers in July 2010, to provide an insider’s perspective on this key period in South Africa’s recent history, and to explore Thabo Mbeki’s legacy.

Frank Chikane’s former appointments include Deputy President of the United Democratic Front, member of the National Executive Committee of the African National Congress, commissioner of the Independent Electoral Commission, director-general in the presidency and general secretary of the South African Council of Churches. He was also involved in the development and promotion of the African Renaissance vision which gave birth to the New Partnership for Africa’s Development and the African Peer Review Mechanism. Chikane is currently a pastor of the Apostolic Faith Mission of South Africa (AFM) in Naledi, Soweto, the President of AFM International, and he consults with companies that do business on the African continent. He is the Visiting Adjunct Professor at the Graduate School of Public & Development Management (P&DM) at the University of the Witwatersrand and serves on a number of NGO and company boards, including Kagiso Trust, Sci-Bono Discovery Centre, Amarick Mining Resources (Pty) Ltd and Suntrace Africa (Pty) Ltd.

No Life of My Own An Autobiography ‘Frank Chikane is a living example of what we mean by contextual theology … He has given his life, and is still giving it, for the people of South Africa.’ Albert H. Cone

‘In No Life of My Own, Frank Chikane, in a very real and very personal way, rewrites that biblical story [of the Exodus], through his own and his peoples’ experiences … it is finally a story of Christian faith, the vindication of Christian hope: it proclaims that the poor, the victims of the scramble for power and influence in the world, will save the world.’ Kenneth Thesing

Frank Chikane No Life of My Own recounts the life of one of the leading figures in the Christian resistance to apartheid. Beginning with his childhood growing up black under an oppressive system, and continuing through to his call to the Christian ministry, Frank Chikane tells of his family’s increasing involvement in the struggle against apartheid, the disapproval and suspension he faced from his own church, and the harrowing detention, harassment, torture and exile he endured. Chikane relates his return to South Africa, despite the threat of further detention and death, to continue the fight for freedom. Through it all one thing remains clear: this is a man whose faith compels and sustains him in a courageous and selfless journey towards freedom. First published by Skotaville in South Africa in 1988, this compelling autobiography is revised and updated to include the key events and political and social landscapes that have shaped Chikane’s life since 1988.

Strikes Have Followed Me All My Life A South African Autobiography ‘This book is more relevant today than ever. It is yet another indication of the heavy price paid for freedom so that we and those who come after us live in a society free from oppression and hate, a society that respects the right to life and dignity and a society where the only limitations placed on us is our own imagination.’ Jay Naidoo

Emma Mashinini ‘This book will serve as a living memory of the evil of the apartheid regime. It is an opportunity for me to speak to my children.’ – Emma Mashinini Strikes Have Followed Me All My Life describes in compelling detail the life of Emma Mashinini, one of South Africa’s leading trade union organisers and gender-rights activists. From her childhood in Sophiatown to the dark days she spent in detention under apartheid and her lasting contributions to labour organisation in South Africa, Emma’s selfless and courageous story – published for the first time in South Africa – recalls and preserves a vital chapter in our country’s history. Includes a new Foreword by Jay Naidoo

Emma Mashinini’s activism began when she was elected as a shop steward and later appointed as a floor supervisor at Henochsberg’s clothing factory. In 1975, Emma took up a position as the first General Secretary of the Commercial, Catering and Allied Workers’ Union of South Africa (CCAWUSA), growing the union substantially in the following years. She was arrested in 1981 under Section 6 of the Terrorism Act and held in solitary confinement at Pretoria Central Prison for six months. After her release she spent some time regaining her strength at a clinic in Denmark before resuming her post at CCAWUSA for another four years. In 1985, through her role in CCAWUSA, Emma was involved in the formation of the Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU). In 1986 she was appointed head of the Department of Justice and Reconciliation, later working as Deputy Chairperson of the National Manpower Commission and then as the Commissioner for Land Restitution. She lives in Pretoria.

The Hungry Season Feeding Southern Africa’s Cities previous praise for leonie joubert

‘Scorched is a stimulating read, mostly because of the author’s metaphoric and often poetic style of writing … More importantly, it makes you want to do something about global warming.’ Don Pinnock, Getaway magazine

Photographer Eric Miller covered the anti-apartheid struggle in the 1980s, and since the 1990s has documented South Africa’s transformation. His coverage of Africa for various European publications has taken him from the horrors of the Rwandan genocide to famine in Sudan. His pictures have captured the stories of women’s boxing, the training of sangomas and evocative essays capturing highlights of several dance and opera productions. He has worked in over 26 African countries, plus many others further afield, producing an extensive archive of documentary stock and some travel images. His work has been published in most major magazines in South Africa and is regularly used in a range of major publications across Europe and the United States.

Leonie Joubert WITH PHOTOS BY Eric Miller The food we eat is as diverse as the cultures and lifestyles of the people consuming it. But the issues underlying food run much deeper than the whims of our cultures or palates. Until now, the subject of food security has mostly been viewed as a rural issue, with research and development work honing in on subsistence farming. But with the massive influx into cities, the focus needs to shift to the metropolis. The Hungry Season takes science writer Leonie Joubert and photographer Eric Miller to eight different cities and towns around southern Africa as they explore the complex issues around food security, including: • • • • • • • •

Childhood stunting and malnutrition; The transition from traditional ‘African’ to ‘Western’ diets; Chronic lifestyle-related illnesses associated with a modern diet; Nutritional literacy, behaviour and choices; Large-scale food production and urban food gardens; Poverty, joblessness and the geography of the city; Urban planning, supermarkets and the full food value chain; and Food wastage.

Ultimately, The Hungry Season looks at the crisis of hunger and malnutrition surrounding us in the city, hidden behind layers of affluence and comfort. It tackles the fundamental question: Why is it that in southern Africa we produce enough calories and nutrients to keep the region full, satisfied and well nourished, and yet we still have such high levels of hunger and malnutrition? Leonie Joubert’s previous books include Scorched: South Africa’s Changing Climate, Boiling Point: People in a Changing Climate and Invaded: The Biological Invasion of South Africa. She was a Ruth First Fellow in 2007, was listed in the Mail & Guardian’s ‘200 Young South Africans You Must Take To Lunch in 2008’, named SAB Environmental Journalist of the Year (in the print/Internet category) in 2009, and has received two Honorary Sunday Times Alan Paton Non-fiction Awards (in 2007 and 2010). She recently contributed to Max du Preez’s Opinion Pieces by South African Thought Leaders.

The Youngsters A fresh, entertaining series of pocket books that feature prominent young South African voices worth listening to.

In My Arrogant Opinion

The Youngsters series explores topics of interest to the youth, ranging from hair weaves to discovering who you are and what you should do with your life, as well as issues of race and gender, love and sex in the time of social networks, the music and radio industries, comedy, empowering yourself and more … The series shares the naked reality of being a youngster in South Africa and helps you to make sense of it all.

Khaya Dlanga ‘This book isn’t about anything in particular. I know that sounds a little disturbing, but hear me out. I think that those people who read my work read it precisely because there is no particular pattern; they read it to find out what I have to say. Essentially I am like them. I am a conversationalist. I write like people talk. No fancy language; nor do I show how smart I am.’ – Khaya Dlanga

Shaka Sisulu ‘There is a poetic justice to life because we are the sum of our experiences.’ – Shaka Sisulu

Nik Rabinowitz was raised on the mean, green streets of Constantia, Cape Town, a world of ride-bys, piano lessons, and unrelenting love and financial support from family members. Despite all this hardship he still managed to be moderately successful, achieving fame as the world’s foremost Xhosa-speaking Jewish comedian. Gillian Breslin obtained a Journalism Degree from Rhodes University, but quickly realised that writing is much easier when you get to make stuff up. After a brief stint as ‘The World’s Worst Producer’ she started writing for television, and hasn’t looked back since (mostly because that’s where the creditors are). Gillian and Nik have been working together since 2008.

Shirley, Goodness & Mercy ‘It will draw many tears but persuade several more spasms of laughter. It is a project of restoration; a holding up to the sunlight of the magical prism of who we all are and what we were.’ Mark Espin, Sowetan

‘It’s unusual to find a writer who’s funny both on paper and in person. Chris van Wyk is one of this rare species.’ Fred Khumalo, This Day

A Childhood Memoir Chris van Wyk PICADOR 40TH SPECIAL EDITION Picador has been publishing the finest books from across the globe since 1972. Amongst a number of publishing initiatives to celebrate Picador’s 40th anniversary are these Picador Africa classics reissued in a beautiful new style. Each book includes a sixteen-page section of additional material. Shirley, Goodness & Mercy is a heart-warming, yet compellingly honest story about a young boy growing up in the coloured townships of Newclare, Coronationville and Riverlea during the apartheid era. Despite Van Wyk’s later becoming involved in the struggle, this is not a book about racial politics. Instead, it is a delightful account of one boy’s special relationship with the relatives, friends and neighbours who made up his community, and of the important coping role laughter and humour played during the years he spent in bleak and dusty townships. In Shirley, Goodness & Mercy Chris van Wyk – poet, novelist and short story writer – has created a truly remarkable work, at once both thoughtprovoking and vastly entertaining.

Chris van Wyk was born in 1957 and educated at Riverlea High School. He lives in Northcliff, Johannesburg, where he works as a full-time writer. In 2009 Van Wyk abridged Nelson Mandela’s autobiography, Long Walk to Freedom, to create a picture book (illustrated by Paddy Bouma) for young children. His second childhood memoir, Eggs to Lay, Chickens to Hatch: A Memoir was published by Picador Africa in 2010.

‘Yes, this truth is much stranger than fiction, but in Mandy Wiener’s hands, it is also more enthralling, entertaining and unputdownable. Simply brilliant.’ Deon Meyer

‘Mandy’s book is terrific, although the title disappoints as it turns out, she isn’t the person who killed Kebble. It’s a story that will make you uncomfortable about just how rotten the criminal underbelly of Johannesburg really is – but it is an absorbing investigative account of one of the most interesting murders in our recent criminal history.’ Gareth Cliff

‘After five years of following every thread and detail of the Kebble case Wiener not only had a complex story to which few other journalists had access, but also the perspective needed to turn it into a riveting bestseller that would be both insightful and accessible.’ Mail & Guardian

Killing Kebble An Underworld Exposed Mandy Wiener REVISED AND UPDATED PAPERBACK EDITION In September 2005 Brett Kebble, a prominent South African mining magnate, was killed on a quiet suburban street in Johannesburg in an apparent ‘assisted suicide’. The top-level investigation that followed was a tipping point for democratic South Africa. It exposed the corrupt relationship between South Africa’s Chief of Police, Interpol President Jackie Selebi and his friend, Glenn Agliotti, and revealed an underworld dominated by drug lords, steroid-fuelled bouncers, hit men for hire, an international smuggling syndicate, a dubious security unit moonlighting for the police and sinister self-serving sleuths abusing state agencies. It even cost the country’s most senior prosecutor his job. Indemnified by an agreement struck with the state, Mikey Schultz, Nigel McGurk and Fiazal ‘Kappie’ Smith come clean to Mandy Wiener in exclusive interviews about the chilling events leading up to the night Kebble was shot dead and the life paths of the ‘bungling assassins’. Glenn Agliotti, the man once accused of orchestrating the hit, has also provided Wiener with unlimited access to his story, as have other characters whose versions of the events are previously untold. This true crime tale is set against the fascinating background of political interference at the highest level, a bitter feud between two arms of the country’s law enforcement authorities, a festering police service tainted by dirty cops and the shady relationships between the magnate and aspirant young political turks who were ready recipients of his largesse. Killing Kebble is not the story of one murder. It’s a gritty, fast-paced chronicle of how one death blew the lid off Johannesburg’s underworld. This new paperback edition includes: •

•

A Postscript that brings readers up to date on events and the people involved in this story since the publication of Killing Kebble in April 2011; and An extensive Author Interview that explores the author’s background, people’s reactions to the book and its impact on the author’s life.

Mandy Wiener is an award-winning Eyewitness News journalist. She has been covering this story for more than five years and has unrivalled access to the main role players.

Fire Works ‘[W]hat Jan had in mind with the Braai Day initiative … is nurturing and embracing a common South African culture, which is shared across all races and genders. Not one South African person can tell you that they have never witnessed a braai. Even in rural areas they light a fire and put their meat on it to cook.’ Archbishop Desmond Tutu

‘Jan has a refreshing style of simply telling the audience exactly what he thinks.’ Stephanus Rabie, Director and Producer of the Jan Braai vir Erfenis TV series on kykNET

‘Jan Braai has suddenly become a name familiar to millions of lips as he has become an agent of change who wants to see people “burn the past into blackness” … He epitomises the spirit of concerned people who want to shape the cultural direction that the country should take …’

Jan Braai Jan Braai has galvanised South Africans with a call to action – everyone should braai on 24 September (National Heritage Day) every year. The campaign has taken the country by storm, with Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu leading the charge. Now the self-appointed champion of the braai has finally given us his clear guidelines for cooking the perfect meal over a fire. His instruction is clear – if you want to earn the title of master of the braai, you need to follow this book from the first page to the last, and when you have perfected each cut of meat and each technique, then you can relax – your fire work is done and you have earned the title. Jan starts with the basics: how to braai the perfect steak, and then moves through other beef, lamb, chicken, seafood, vegetable and potjiekos recipes. Don’t expect to find fancy salads in this book – it’s a braai book, plain and simple. Amongst the recipes are his instructions for the type of wood to use, how to build the right fire, how to choose the best cuts of meat and how to know when the meat is done to perfection. The only braai book you will ever need!

Jan Braai is the nom de plume of Jan Scannell. Jan started the Braai Day campaign in 2007 and it has grown into a national phenomenon featured in the media throughout South Africa and even in countries abroad. Jan braais every day, often several times a day, and has braaied with people, ordinary South Africans and celebrities, in every corner of South Africa. Visit www.braai.com for more information.

Mobinomics Mxit and Africa’s Mobile Revolution ‘Alan Knott-Craig junior believes Africans often underestimate themselves. The owner of one of the continent’s biggest social media applications, Mxit, took the top award in the FORBES AFRICA Top Tech Start-Up awards. Known for its accessibility and cheap IMs, it’s no wonder this company is the third-most downloaded free application on the Android marketplace.’ Forbes Africa, February 2012

Alan Knott-Craig with Gus Silber Mobinomics tells two stories: the story of an extraordinary South African mobile company that developed in Stellenbosch, and simultaneously the story of the revolution that the roll out of mobile services has caused in Africa. Mxit developed the technology for low-cost Internet-based communication over cell phones to allow millions of users (mostly young people) to avoid the cost of text messages. The company reached the attention of the international business press and has been hailed as Africa’s answer to social networks (although its users are not only African but are spread through 25 countries throughout the world). This book tells our own, South African, social network story and exposes the impact that this network has had on the lives of the people involved in the business and the users: from teenagers to drug counsellors, medical staff in far-flung areas and teachers in classrooms in Limpopo.

Alan Knott-Craig is a South African mobile entrepreneur with a passion for African business opportunities. He is the former CEO of iBurst and now runs World of Avatar, the company that recently acquired Mxit. His first book was the very successful and inspirational Don’t Panic (2008) compiled to remind South Africans ‘why not to pack for Perth’.

What To Do When You Want To Give Up Help for Entrepreneurs in Tough Times previous praise for allon raiz

‘I just finished reading your book Lose the Business Plan. I must say, reading your book was like you were talking to me directly and most of the points you make helped me see my business more clearly.’ Marius

Allon Raiz with Trevor Waller Being an entrepreneur is hard. What do you do when all the financial indicators are telling you your business is failing and you are a failure too? You know that you do have something special to offer and can ultimately succeed, but how do you overcome the odds of entrepreneurial failure? In his first book Lose the Business Plan, Allon Raiz looked at what it takes to start a new business. In this, his second book, Allon explains how to get past the temptation to give up on your own business. He uses a case study to show entrepreneurs how to face down the ultimate business survival questions: • • •

Do I give up or do I go on?; Do I find a way to build my business or do I get a job?; Do I follow my head or risk following my heart?

Allon Raiz has faced the same challenges himself and has coached countless business people through their own entrepreneurial journeys. A must-read for entrepreneurs and business people who are facing failure and want to give up.

Allon Raiz is a successful entrepreneur who has built numerous businesses, some successful and some not. He is the founder of Raizcorp which nurtures entrepreneurs and grows profitable businesses. Raiz has won awards for innovation and entrepreneurship and has been invited to speak on business incubation around the world. He was awarded the role of Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum in 2008. Trevor Waller is a wordsmith, one of Allon’s partners in Raizcorp and has worked with Allon for a number of years.

Paper Sons and Daughters

Advocates for Change

Growing up Chinese in South Africa

How to Overcome Africa’s Challenges

Ufrieda Ho

Edited by Moeletsi Mbeki

A stowaway, Ho Sing Kee, hides for long weeks aboard a ship crossing the Indian Ocean. Leaving behind his village and his ancestors, he looks to the gold mountain in Johannesburg as an escape from his bleak life in devastated 1950s China. In South Africa he will become a ‘paper son’, a literal translation of the phrase used to refer to the illegal immigrants who bought or borrowed new identities from more established Chinese families to avoid detection by the authorities. He is full of quiet hope for what lies ahead as he sets foot in the Durban docks, but he will never lose the status of a second-class citizen. He is the geel gevaar, the yellow peril in apartheid South Africa, and he soon learns that the streets aren’t lined with gold. He can’t live where he chooses and won’t get the jobs reserved for whites. He becomes a fahfee man, the ‘ma-china’ of the black townships, running the illegal gambling game so perfectly suited to survival in the rot of South Africa’s policies of racial segregation.

He is always avoiding the police, always looking to maximise his winnings and always trying to ensure a better life for his wife and four children – until one night in April 1993 when tragedy strikes. In this wonderfully textured memoir, Ufrieda Ho explores her parents’ and grandparents’ arrival as illegal immigrants in South Africa. She describes growing up with her siblings in a world of chopsticks and braais, dragons of the East and springboks of the South, fahfee and the family’s Ford Cortina. It is a world in which she is too white for some and too black for others, and the question of ‘who belongs’ haunts this evocative account of growing up Chinese in South Africa. Winner of the inaugural 2007 Anthony Sampson Foundation Award for Journalism, Ufrieda Ho is a freelance journalist and writer who lives and works in Johannesburg.

‘Criticism is one thing, however, but garnering solutions is another matter entirely. In this latest book – edited by Mbeki – he has put together hands-on suggestions on how to solve Africa’s development challenges. Here we find hard-headed, rational analysis and innovative ideas which would hopefully bring about the transformation of an economy.’ Mpikeleni Duma, Sowetan Live ‘The exceptional value of this book is its focus on hands-on solutions.’ Gerald Shaw, Tonight.co.za


In his insightful bestseller, Architects of Poverty, Moeletsi Mbeki examined why Africans comprise the majority of the world’s bottom billion, illustrating how Africa’s political elite are to blame. Not content with articulating only the problems, in Advocates for Change Mbeki brings together experts from across the continent who believe there are solutions to the challenges that Africa faces. In these pages you will hear from L. Amédée Darga on Mauritius; David Everatt on class formation and inequality; Mike Herrington on entrepreneurship; Jonathan D. Jansen on education; Paul Jourdan on mineral resources; Gilbert M. Khadiagala on elections; Thandika Mkandawire on re-industrialisation; Seeraj Mohamed on the economy; Sindiso Ndema Ngwenya on regional integration; Mandivamba Rukuni on traditional agriculture; and Francois Venter and Helen Rees on health. This accessible, highly informative collection covers diverse fields to reveal in thoughtprovoking chapters how Africa can once more be set on the road to development.

‘Major political reforms bring important changes in the lives of ordinary people, sometimes for better but other times for worse.

It is a must read for those who wish to understand South Africa’s unfolding dramas.’ Moeletsi Mbeki ‘Insightful, thorough and balanced, An Inconvenient Youth is a crucial contribution towards understanding a man who is arguably South Africa’s most-talked-about politician today.’ Redi Tlhabi

An Inconvenient Youth

Lifeblood

Julius Malema and the ‘New’ ANC

How to Change the World, One Dead Mosquito at a Time

Fiona Forde

Alex Perry

More than a ringleader, a rabblerouser and a rebel who knows no bounds, Julius Malema is a new kind of cadre in South African political life, a radical product of 100 years of struggle politics and one of the first of the post-1994 leaders to emerge. Whether you love him or loathe him, he is undeniably one of the most controversial politicians of our time. An Inconvenient Youth traces Malema’s life, from his early, poverty-stricken years in Limpopo to his joining the student structures of the ANC in the early 1990s, and his rapid rise through the party’s ranks to become the president of the ANC Youth League in 2008. Forde analyses the sources of Malema’s wealth, exploring his seamless approach to business and politics. She situates Malema within the ANC’s history and shows in unprecedented detail how he has perfected the practices that characterise a new ‘struggle’ in which individuals extend their personal wealth and political power at the expense of the people. This insightful, meticulously researched account explores how

a brave child has grown to become a grave inconvenience, not only to the ANC, but also, due to his style of politics, to South Africa’s fledgling democracy.

Fiona Forde is an Irish journalist based in Cape Town. For a number of years she has covered politics and current affairs in South Africa and abroad for print and radio media.

‘With this book, Alex Perry confirms his reputation as one of the finest journalists working in Africa today. Lifeblood is intrepid, engaging, incisive, and immensely readable.’ Mark Gevisser


In 2006 the rich, well-connected but very private philanthropist Ray Chambers flicked through some holiday snaps taken by his friend, the development economist Jeff Sachs. He remarked on the placid beauty of a group of sleeping Malawian children. ‘They’re not sleeping,’ Sachs told a shocked Chambers. ‘They’re in malarial comas. A few days later, they were all dead.’ So began Chambers’ mission to eradicate a disease that has haunted humanity since before the advent of medicine, one that infects half a billion and kills a million people each year. The campaign drew in presidents, celebrities, scientists and billions of dollars, and was a groundbreaking success. It saved millions of lives and helped set Africa on a path towards prosperity. By replacing traditional ideas of assistance with business acumen and hustle, Chambers also upturned current notions of aid, forging a new path not just for the developing world but for global business, religion and even celebrities. As he follows two years of Chambers’ campaign, awardwinning journalist Alex Perry takes

‘[An] informative, quality book focusing on the deep south of the world.’ Mpikeleni Duma, Sowetan ‘In Writing the Deep South, Ariel Dorfman displays a deeply analytical ability, yet never loses his poetic gifts. He has created a body of work that never descends into sentimental nostalgia, even though so much of what he writes is inspired by “wrestl[ing] with the dilemmas of how you confront the terrors of the past”. He is a novelist, dramatist, essayist, but above all what one can call an activist of heart and mind.’ Achmat Dangor ‘[One of the] greatest living Latin American writers.’ Newsweek

Writing the Deep South

Heading South, Looking North

The Mandela Lecture and Other Mirrors for South Africa

A Bilingual Journey

Ariel Dorfman

Ariel Dorfman

From his first visit to South Africa in 1997, Ariel Dorfman, acclaimed Chilean-American author, human rights activist and distinguished professor, has felt a deep connection to the country, its people and the issues it grapples with. In Writing the Deep South Dorfman has brought together a personal selection of his widely read texts from past decades that are of particular significance to South Africans. In these pieces, Dorfman reflects on familiar challenges and issues such as terror and peace, bilingualism and globalisation, compassion and war, torture, fear and dignity in the aftermath of 9/11, civilisation and barbarism, and the necessity and insufficiency of truth commissions. He draws from Latin Americans such as Che Guevara and Gabriel García Márques that have exceptional messages for South Africans. There is also his 2010 Mandela Lecture, and reflections on what it will mean to say goodbye to Nelson Mandela. Writing the Deep South is a volume that holds up multiple mirrors for South Africa and the rest of the world, allowing a welcome reflective space for the pressing issues of language, identity, renewed struggle and integrity.

Ariel Dorfman is the author of numerous works of fiction, plays, poems and essays in both Spanish and English. His books have been translated into over forty languages, and his plays, including Death and the Maiden, staged in more than one hundred countries. He lives with his wife, Angélica, in Durham, North Carolina, and currently holds the Walter Hines Page chair at Duke University.


‘As the story of our closing century begins to be pieced together, Ariel Dorfman’s narrative of his life within it is one of the most strikingly original. In an age characterised by mass uprootings, here is the powerfully imaginative discovery of language as a home, a way to identity, political and social wholeness despite inherent contradictions, not only as a writer, but as a man.’

In this new edition of his remarkable memoir, for which he has written a special introduction for South African readers, Ariel Dorfman describes an extraordinary life, torn between the United States, South America and his Jewish heritage, between English and Spanish, between revolution and repression. Interwoven with the story of how Dorfman switched languages and countries – not once, but three times – is a day-to-day account of his multiple escapes from death during Pinochet’s takeover in Chile in 1973. A beautifully written autobiography by one of the ‘greatest living Latin American writers’ (Newsweek), Heading South, Looking North is a moving account of Dorfman’s complex life as well as an elegant reflection on language, exile and memory.

The Authorised Book of Quotations

A True Story of Living with Bulimia

Nelson Mandela

Joanne Jowell

Nelson Mandela By Himself: The Authorised Book of Quotations is the definitive book of quotations from one of the great leaders of our time. This collection – gathered from privileged, authorised access to Mandela’s vast personal archive of private papers, speeches, correspondence and audio recordings – features nearly 2 000 quotations spanning over 60 years, many previously unpublished. Mandela’s inspirational quotations are organised into over 300 categories for easy reference, including such aspects as what defines greatness in ‘Character’, ‘Courage’ and ‘Optimism’, while we learn from the great man the essence of democracy, freedom and struggle in the categories ‘Democracy’, ‘History’, ‘Racism’, ‘Reconciliation’ and ‘Unity’. Nelson Mandela By Himself is the first, and only, authorised and authenticated collection of quotations by one of the world’s most admired individuals.

Nelson Mandela was born in the Transkei, South Africa, on 18 July 1918. He joined the African National Congress in 1944 and was engaged in resistance against the ruling National Party’s apartheid policies for many years before being arrested in August 1962. Mandela was incarcerated for over 27 years, during which time his reputation as a potent symbol of resistance to the anti-apartheid movement grew steadily. Released from prison in 1990, Mandela won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993 and was inaugurated as the first democratically elected president of South Africa in 1994. He is the author of the international bestsellers Long Walk to Freedom and Conversations with Myself.

‘Completely absorbing … a really outstanding narrative both as a story and as an account of a young woman’s life. It’s compelling, truly poignant and painful, thoroughly reported, and a penetrating insight not only into the subject’s pathology, but also into the conditions of anorexia, bulimia and drug addiction.’

For more than nine years, twentysix-year-old Sarah Claire Picton has been purging her food in any place she can find: public toilets, plastic bags, coffee mugs. When she couldn’t satisfy her bulimic addiction, she restricted her diet to the point that she weighed only 41 kilograms, a weight better suited to a girl less than half her age. She has lost teeth and her gag reflex. She has lost her energy and her friends. She has come close to losing her life. But then she decided to do something about it. Sarah reveals her story in brutally honest detail to author Joanne Jowell, setting on a path of enlightenment for herself, her family and countless others who suffer in the shadow of addiction.

‘This is an engrossing account of the life and work of South African artist, Alexis Preller.’ Rob Hofmeyr, The Citizen

In the course of his forty-year career, major South African artist Alexis Preller achieved national recognition and critical acclaim. Loyal admirers flocked to every exhibition by the master colourist. Yet, there were also those who were disturbed by his frequently cryptic themes and who denounced his distinctly independent and often enigmatic work. Africa, the Sun and Shadows is an absorbing and detailed biography of Alexis Preller’s life and artistic journey. It leads the reader through the twists and turns of Preller’s uncompromising career and passionate private life, tracing the evolution of his fascinating iconography along the way. It is a story filled with drama and told with empathy and skill.

In addition to a twelvepage colour section, the text is supported by illustrations on every page. Studies by noted photographers Constance StuartLarrabee, Richard Cutler and David Goldbatt, among others, and snapshots from Preller’s private albums provide contemporary images of the artist, his studios and homes, and the treasured artefacts that were his frequent inspiration.

Esmé Berman was a personal friend of Alexis Preller’s. She has enjoyed a distinguished career as a lecturer, writer and broadcaster on art. She pioneered research into the modern history of South African art and is the author of the seminal works Art & Artists of South Africa (now in its fourth edition) and Painting in South Africa.

Great South African Teachers Jonathan Jansen With Nangamso Koza and Lihlumelo Toyana

‘A tribute to South Africa’s great teachers from the people whose lives they have changed.’ Jonathan Jansen

At a time when our newspapers are full of the woes of the South African education system and stories of teachers who let the children in their classes down, this book is a celebration of heroic teachers who have struggled, often against great odds, to give children a chance of success. Great South African Teachers celebrates the massive contribution of remarkable teachers working in South African schools, past and present. The stories, contributed by over 100 South Africans in response to advertisements placed in the Sunday Times, pay tribute to the teachers who changed their lives. The contributions reflect the full range of South African schools – rich, poor, white, black, schools under apartheid, schools both urban and rural, past and present.

Professor Jonathan Jansen is the Vice-Chancellor of the University of the Free State, where he has earned a formidable reputation for transformation and for a deep commitment to reconciliation in communities living with the heritage of apartheid. Nangamso Koza and Lihlumelo Toyana are journalism students at the University of the Free State who went to school in the Eastern Cape. They say that working on this book with Professor Jansen has changed their lives.

The effects of this decision went beyond our expectations. Within days there was a groundswell of support from across South Africa and other countries lauding the path we had chosen. Across the racial divide, streams of correspondence and calls hailed the decision; people who had left the country promised to come back, given a sense that this was, after all, a place for their children too. Within the campus community, ground was suddenly opened up to advance deep transformation in ways that would have been much more difficult outside the politics of grace and accommodation. The data showed an immediate positive swing, with 40 per cent more students reporting positive race relations than in the period before the Reitz decision. Top black and white academics applied, and many were accepted, to join a university which they saw as opening up new possibilities for scholarship in public. At all levels of the organisation the team worked day and night to create a new institutional culture among students and staff. Academic (and not raceobsessive) contests took centre stage, and compulsory class attendance and increased admission requirements were implemented. A new core curriculum was introduced to provide an intellectual basis for the education of young people, in which they were challenged to take on the big questions of life from the vantage point of science, religion, astronomy and economics. Questions of race, identity and change featured prominently in this interdisciplinary core. Everybody reported a much more positive atmosphere and a consistently inclusive approach to transformation. Of course, this kind of transformation threatened loud voices in a divided society. It threatened the powerful, those in government, who saw reconciliation as the proprietary right of the ruling party. Not surprisingly, soon after the university’s decision, the media reported an attempt by the powerful to release the apartheid killer Eugene de Kock as a gesture of reconciliation. However, neither white nor black supported this move at all and the plan backfired. Next, a trip was scheduled to Orania and Verwoerd’s wife, another gesture of the accommodation of white separatists who had cordoned off a strip of barren land for white occupation in the Northern Cape. The presidency suddenly discovered poor whites again. This explains the fiery outbursts from

the powerful. I became the first vicechancellor of a university in the history of South Africa to be roundly condemned by the cabinet for an institutional decision, and the first to be attacked in public by both the Minister and his political Director-General (DG) in waves of personal attack, in the media and in private circles, as it came to my attention. Reconciliation of this kind also threatened some segments of the white Afrikaner community. One Chris Louw launched a scathing attack: “Come off your cross”, he screamed – the symbolism of care and forgiveness stretching across racial lines and against the logic of racial expectations was too much for the brilliant thinker to bear. Weeks later the troubled man ended his life. Among some Afrikaner intellectuals the critique was stiff, especially in the light of my book, Knowledge in Blood, which carries the theme of mutual destiny, mutual vulnerability and mutual recognition. What was disconcerting to such a group was the return of the anthropological gaze, a black man studying the once-powerful, thereby upsetting the accepted order of scholarly inquiry that had prevailed for hundreds of years. One leader of a conservative Afrikaner youth group admonished his followers not to take me seriously: “Jansen is coloured” – a term I always detested and assign no meaning to – “and knows nothing about us Afrikaners.” There were others who made sustained personal attacks and remained hell-bent on tainting the institution as racist for as long as possible – all other institutions, of course, were stainless, especially the English ones. One such source was the Sunday Independent, which relentlessly pursued dirt on the institution and its leadership, often running besmirching personal attacks that became more and more childish with time. The screaming headlines (labelling me a coconut) bore no relationship even to the manufactured content of their stories. The real test of the Reitz decision, of course, was whether it would make possible the grounds for genuine reconciliation between the workers and the former students. On 11 February 2011, the culmination of years of hard work by an incredible team from the university and the provincial leader of the Human Rights Commission bore fruit in the final reconciliation ceremony. (This while the rest of the HRC at the Johannesburg offices behaved more and more like the ruling party in legal drag.) The students prepared their hearts to ask for forgiveness; the workers were ready to accept the plea and to offer that grace which lifts both the one who asks

and the one who gives. Tears flowed freely and hearts were mended. By this time, of course, the Reitz event had taken on national and even international meanings for divided communities and campuses everywhere. Universities in other countries asked the University of the Free State (UFS) to facilitate reconciliation deliberations on their campuses. Churches and community groups in South Africa filled the diary requesting workshops and speeches that would open up their own settings to difficult dialogues about race and reconciliation, healing and hope. We had come through the storm; the rainbow shone brightly and the rain was gone. The question often asked about Reitz (I use the noun here to refer to the racist incident, as well as the entire swath of decisions and actions related to Reitz afterwards, including the acts of forgiveness) is how we knew that this was the correct decision. Surely, the risks were self-evident? I have made some mistakes in my life, but this is not one of them. As soon as the decision on institutional forgiveness hit the media, a call came through from the political DG: “I might disagree with your decision, but I know you would have thought about it carefully.” Her attitude changed quickly after that, as the political climate cancelled out reasonableness and tamed the quest for understanding. Indeed, the decision was carefully thought through and planned months in advance, and in conversation with all major stakeholders. A careful assessment of what I saw and heard, and a fine understanding of how the institution (as at the University of Pretoria) was shaping the lives and reinforcing the behaviours of young white Afrikaner men, enabled the decision. But it was the overwhelming sense – before the announcement – of what such an act of institutional forgiveness would do for campus and country that had firmed the resolve we would embrace. In the ruling party, all hell broke loose, but with an ominous silence (unnoticed at the time) from one group in the ascendancy after Polokwane – that landmark conference of the African National Congress that removed a sitting president from office – the ANC Youth League. There was therefore an instant adrenalin rush in the media when the League promptly announced that it planned to visit me at 10:00 on an appointed day. That day, I arrived at work earlier than usual and the cameras were out early in front of my office. There was an atmosphere of “High Noon on Red Square”, that curiously named patch of reddish brick pavement that stretches across the front of the

We Need to Talk

‘We Need to Talk surprises, comforts, disrupts. Highly recommended.’ Beverley Roos Muller, Sunday Argus


‘These 800-word columns are an easy, meaty read that show how deeply invested South Africans remain in stereotypes, emphasising the author’s point that we need to talk.’

We Need to Talk Jonathan Jansen Professor Jonathan Jansen has become a household name in South Africa. This collection of his English columns published in The Times reflects his critical and, at times, inconvenient views on education, race and identity, the state of our nation, leadership and even sport. When asked what the secret to his columns is, he answers, ‘A good column upsets half of your readers. The secret is that it should be a different half each time.’ Jansen takes his inspiration from a diverse group of people – statesmen, teachers, students, children and everyday South Africans he meets – and introduces us to them through his columns. We Need to Talk is bound to make you stop and think, and then discuss Jansen’s ideas around the dinner table, in a classroom or on a bus.

Sy is die kleinste as mens die Guinness World Records as gesaghebbende maatstaf gebruik. Tog kom jy gou agter dat Madge Bester slegs van postuur klein is. Die ontsaglike teenwoordigheid wat sy aan die koffietafel uitstraal, is eintlik intimiderend. Ek het stories oor Madge gehoor lank voordat ek haar besoek het in die buurt waar sy woon. Sy is die kastyder van verpleegsters wat traag is in hul versorging van bejaardes in ’n plaaslike hospitaal. Sy is die stryder vir dienslewering waar sy ook al kom. En sy sê vir jou presies wat sy dink. Ek het my dus op ’n moeilike onderhoud voorberei. Steeds was ek nie voorberei op haar reguit vraag nie: “Hoekom is jou vrou so wit en jy so swart?” Ek het byna van my stoel afgeval soos ek gelag het. Ek het geen hond haaraf gemaak in my poging om aan Madge te verduidelik dat nóg Grace (wat sy op ’n partytjie ontmoet het), nóg ek ons aan velkleur steur nie en dat ons in die verlede na mekaar as swart Suid-Afrikaners verwys het. Dit was nie vir Madge nodig om iets te sê nie; die frons op haar gesig het dit duidelik gemaak dat sy van sulke onsin niks wou hoor nie. Die lewe van dié 47-jarige vrou, wat slegs 63 cm in haar sokkies staan, was moeilik. Sy het van Colesberg na Bloemfontein verhuis, toe na Kimberley, Johannesburg en Bethlehem, en weer terug na Bloemfontein. Sy het die genetiese kwaal osteogenesis imperfecta van haar oorlede moeder geërf. Dié was net effens langer as Madge, wie se enigste familie ’n oom in Bloemfontein, ’n tante in Bethlehem en enkele niggies is. Maar die vrou wat vinnig oor die oprit in haar lendelam rolstoel my aankomende motor tegemoetkom, ontlok nie empatie nie. Sy beheer haar lewe volledig. Haar dae word in beslag geneem deur die versorging van voëls, besoeke aan haar vriende, rekenaarspeletjies en, vertel sy my in ’n roerende oomblik, die brei van klere vir premature babatjies. Haar beste vriendin is Anita van Trompsburg, en sy is gek na die sepie 7de Laan en die musiekprogram Noot vir Noot. Sy lewer koerante in die buurt af. “Ek’s die delivery boy!” Dis nie ’n vrou wat broei oor haar toestand of haarself bejammer omdat sy nie eenvoudige goed kan doen nie, soos om self aan te trek. Die gemak waarmee sy met die ou

rolstoel by haar huisie in- en uitry, is iets om te aanskou. Nou sien ons mekaar van aangesig tot aangesig. Ek is, vir die eerste keer in my lewe, senuagtig oor die onderhoud met so ’n kragtige persona. “Wat dink jy van mans?” vra ek hierdie gelukkige, enkellopende vrou. “Nee, dankie,” skiet sy van die heup, “hulle sit net op jou kop. Trou jy, dan is dit net kouse en onderbroeke optel. Nee, dankie.” Ek kry die man jammer wat met hierdie aanvallige vrou probeer flikflooi. “Kla jy ooit?” vra ek vir Madge, wat nou heelwat meer ontspanne lyk met die vreemdeling op haar werf. “Soos die meeste mense, kla ek ook maar ’n bietjie,” gee sy toe. En dan laat waai sy met ’n onnodige waarskuwing. “Ek het ’n bek,” sê sy met ’n sweem van ’n glimlag. “Die nuwe Suid-Afrika is ietwat pateties, en die misdaad maak my gatvol.” Sy vertel van ’n paartjie wat volgens dié oggend se Afrikaanse koerant geskiet is, en glo vas dat ons probleme opgelos sal word as “hulle” (die regering) die doodstraf herinstel. Ek het ’n ander beskouing as Madge, maar was nie lus om so vroeg in die oggend pak te kry in ’n debat nie. Dis ’n wonderwerk dat Madge finansieel oorleef. Sy is afhanklik van ’n klein ongeskiktheidstoelaag en ’n “hulpfonds” vir die betaling van die hoë maandelikse huurgeld van R4880 en haar gewone lewenskoste. Sy het baie meer geld verdien toe sy straatkollektes by winkelsentrums in Johannesburg gehou het. Maar, fluister sy, die buurt word darem deur die staat gesubsidieer indien daar ook swart inwoners is. Ek het Madge besoek om haar te bemoedig, en om ’n storie te skryf waarin ek lesers wou vra om bydraes te maak vir ’n nuwe rolstoel om die lewensgehalte van hierdie moedige Suid-Afrikaner te verhoog. Met my vertrek het ek egter klein gevoel in die skadu van hierdie reus van ’n mens. Ek het met dankbaarheid gedink aan die dingetjies wat ek as vanselfsprekend aanvaar. “Waar gaan jy Kersfees heen?” het ek my nuwe vriendin gevra. “Na Bethlehem.” Die man met die mes het my bang gemaak – nie omdat hy my gedreig het nie, maar omdat messe lewensgevaarlik is. Ek het in ’n gevaarlike woonbuurt grootgeword, maar selde gewere gesien. In daardie dae is messe as wapens verkies. Om sake te vererger, het die man om die huis gestap met die messe in koerantpapier toegedraai. Elke nou en dan het hy met die messe by my tafel verbybeweeg. Maar dit was ’n feestelike gebeurtenis, en die messe was eintlik bedoel vir die ys-

like skaap wat in die voortuin vasgemaak was. Dié het stil daar gelê, en my gedagtes het teruggegaan na die vergelyking wat die profeet Jesaja getref het toe hy die dood van Christus voorspel het. Soos ’n lam het Christus stil sy dood tegemoet gegaan. Ek het my by die skare aangesluit vir die slagting. ’n Sagte gesing, ’n oop gat, ’n vasgebinde skaap en skerp messe – in die middel van ’n gegoede wit woonbuurt. Ek kon dit nie verdra om te aanskou hoe die dier keelaf gesny word nie en het daarom eerder met die kinders rondom my oor hul gunstelingskoolvakke gesels. Binne sekondes was alles verby. Minder as ’n halfuur later ontvang ek Dolly se lewer saam met heerlike gebakte brood: “Bismillah, Professor!” Almal kyk toe. Ek moet eet. Hier staan ek, die seun van evangeliese ouers, wat my gewaarsku het teen Moslems as die vyand. Ek het hopeloos te veel familiebyeenkomste meegemaak waar die trane gevloei het omdat ’n ordentlike Christenjongman met ’n Moslemmeisie in die huwelik getree het. As mens my uitgebreide familie moes glo, was dit altyd die Christen wat die Moslem moes “draai”, nooit andersom nie. In my grootwordjare het ek oorgenoeg tirades teen Moslems aangehoor en is steeds skaam daaroor. Tog het ek hier gestaan, diep beïndruk deur die geloof en toewyding van een van ons oudste godsdiensgemeenskappe, ’n sterk geloofsgroep in die Wes-Kaap. Op hierdie manier word ’n heilige tradisie geëerbiedig wat teruggryp na die dae van Abraham, die gemeenskaplike geloofsvader van sowel Christene as Moslems. Ons vertel die verhaal verskillend, maar in beide gevalle sou ’n seun in gehoorsaamheid aan God geoffer word, en het ’n skaap sy plek ingeneem. Dit was voorwaar ’n eer om tydens hierdie heilige gebeurtenis met my Moslembroers en -susters hande te vat. Hier was dit nie vir my nodig om te kies tussen Moslem- en Christenwees, soos ek grootgemaak is nie. Ek kon iets anders doen, naamlik insien wat in albei geloofsgemeenskappe gemeenskaplik en heilig is, en dit eerbiedig. My saamwees met Moslemvriende maak my nie minder van ’n Christen nie. Eintlik voel ek meer van ’n Christen vanweë die gawes van insluiting en aanvaarding wat ek met hierdie vriendekring, hierdie familie, kon deel. Buite het ’n ander stryd gewoed. Teen die lamppale het die opskrifte van plakkate wreedheid uitgebasuin, en die noodsaak vir die Dierebeskermingsvereniging om die slagting van skape en bulle te ondersoek. Die Moslemfamilie by wie ek my bevind, besef maar alte goed hoe nodig dit is om die

Delectable

150 Years of South African Rugby

Food from Rural France to Urban Cape

Wim van der Berg

‘What makes this book unique is that it’s not just about the Springboks – detailed sections on the Currie Cup and Craven Week, as well as the recent SANZAR history (including Super Rugby and the Tri-Nations), means there’s plenty of information on the provincial game … [and] a chapter on the … history of multi-racial rugby sheds light on a part of the game that might not be well-known to most South African rugby fans … Look out for 150 Years of South African Rugby.’ Sports Illustrated magazine ‘This book follows the development of the game from its earliest beginnings at Bishops in Cape Town to its status as a national obsession. Full of fascinating facts and old photographs.’

2011 marks an important milestone for South African rugby. The first rugby match was played on South African soil in 1861, making this the 150th year of rugby in the country. Sports writer and author Wim van der Berg chronicles the development of South African rugby from its earliest beginnings to its status as a national obsession. Supported by inspiring photographs, 150 Years of South African Rugby follows the players and the teams through South Africa’s history to show how far the game has come and how the spirit of the Springbok has endured. Van der Berg tracks the changes in provincial rugby, the move from an amateur game to professionalism and the growth of the major tournaments that TV viewers follow so passionately. But he never loses sight of the people behind the game, the players, coaches, administrators and fans.

Marlene van der Westhuizen Wim van der Berg is a seasoned sports writer and author of several books on rugby, including Blue Bulls: 70 Years of Glory (2008) and Great Moments in Currie Cup History (2010). He has contributed to numerous magazines and newspapers, including Blou, Oggenblad and Die Vaderland. He has been involved in rugby at various levels as a player, referee, coach, manager and club administrator.

Andrew Levy’s Labour Law in Practice

The Landscape Painter

A Guide for South African Employers

Craig Higginson

Andrew Levy, Jackie Kelly and Daniel Levy Every business needs to be aware of the complexities of South African labour law, whether it employs one person or a thousand people. In this accessible guide, South Africa’s foremost expert on the subject helps employers through the employment minefield, including chapters on: •

‘Levy and his co-authors prove that, with the right guidance, South African labour law is not as daunting as it seems … The book is written in an easy-to-read style and recommends a non-legalistic approach to labour relations and practices.’ Premier ‘A must-read for every employer and employee.’ Sowetan

•

•

Employment contracts, including definitions of who is an employee; Labour disputes, both individual and collective; and The ins and outs of disciplinary hearings.

This guide brings businesses up to date with the latest issues in South African labour law, including the recent changes in 2010, and includes cross references to the Andrew Levy Employment website www.andrewlevy.co.za for additional resources.

Andrew Levy founded Andrew Levy and Associates in 1978. It soon became the country’s leading labour relations and labour law consultancy, specialising in dismissals, training, strike management and employment advice. Levy sold this company in 2002 and now operates under the banner of Andrew Levy Employment. He is at the forefront of labour relations in South Africa, and is a wellknown teacher, writer, arbitrator, broadcaster and commentator on South African labour law. Daniel Levy is a specialist in the running of disciplinary hearings and dismissal disputes. He works with his father at Andrew Levy Employment. Jackie Kelly is a researcher who edits the publications produced by Andrew Levy Employment.

‘A powerful, haunting story that … inhabits the sinister byways of the human heart, illuminating the mystery of evil and the sensuous torments of beauty, youth and love. It is a fascinating and compelling read. I highly recommend it.’ Hamilton Wende ‘The landscape of this novel is … captured in a synthesis that is surely life itself – our personal landscape of entangled relationships, work, the power of sexuality and the external power of circumstance.’ Nadine Gordimer

It’s winter in London, 1947. When Arthur Bailey, a solitary landscape painter, catches sight of a young woman, Felicity, who is moving into the neighbouring bed-sit, he’s stirred to recall, in haunting detail, events that have been kept hidden for fifty years. The Landscape Painter is a double tale of obsession, betrayed trust and irrepressible hope. As a young and brilliant artist, Arthur travelled to South Africa in the late 1890s to pursue his best friend’s sister, the beautiful and enigmatic Carwyn Hamilton. His subsequent revelations about Carwyn were to blight his life and torment him for decades afterwards. From the gold-crazed streets of early Johannesburg and the epic battlefields of the Anglo-Boer War, to the austerity of post-War Britain, The Landscape Painter is a spectacular historical novel filled with wit and insight, written in Higginson’s characteristically sinuous, lyrical prose.

Craig Higginson is a writer, theatre director and university lecturer who lives in Johannesburg.

A Year in the Wild

Bad Blood

A Riotous Novel

Amanda Coetzee

‘Bad Blood doesn’t let up for a moment … it’s a roller-coaster ride that’ll have your pulse pounding. I finished it in a sitting.’ Mike Nicol ‘A dedicated copper, a child-killer psychopath, a clash of wits and a quest for truth, all make for a confident and highly entertaining debut in Bad Blood.’ Joanne Hichens

An eight-year-old boy is abandoned by his mother at a fairground and raised by a clan of Irish Travellers as one of their own. Given the name ‘Harry’ (as in any Tom, Dick or Harry) he carves out a reputation as a young bare-knuckle boxer who never backs down and earns himself the clan name ‘Badger’. Eight years on Badger is angry, dangerous and ready to make his own way in the world. He severs all ties with his clan and in a final act of rebellion joins the London Metropolitan Police Force. He soon finds his niche as an undercover operative, blending in everywhere yet belonging nowhere. Just as Harry believes he has left his clan roots and ‘Badger’ behind him, he is sent by his superiors to establish a connection with a clan living in an informal land settlement in Bedford. A Traveller child named Mikey has been abducted and the clan is refusing to cooperate with the investigation.

James Hendry Harry pairs up with Emily, an idealistic Social Services Liaison Officer, to investigate the case. Together they uncover a string of gruesome child murders and abductions dating back to 1985. Badger finds himself drawn deeper into clan life and he is ultimately forced to confront the truth about his own conflicted childhood if he is to save Mikey from becoming another victim of a twisted serial killer. This gripping debut novel is guaranteed to keep you spellbound from the first page all the way through to its twist-in-the-tail climax.

When she isn’t writing crime thrillers, Amanda Coetzee works as a deputy headmistress. She grew up in Bedford, England, and now lives in Rustenburg with her husband and son. Available as an eBook 978-1-77010-137-1 Also available Redemption Song 978-1-77010-231-6 see p. 12

And it gives the most fascinating insights into what goes on behind the posh scenes of larney lodges.’ Tiffany Markman, Women24 ‘I laughed, cried and basically didn’t want the book to end.’ Nici De Wet, You magazine

FRONTLIST ● FICTION

Angus and Hugh MacNaughton are brothers. They dislike each other … A lot. They have loathed each other since Hugh bit Angus at a family picnic many years ago. In a lastditch attempt to forge a brotherly bond between the two, Mr and Mrs MacNaughton secure them jobs at an exclusive five-star game lodge. They manage to convince (bribe in the case of Angus) the siblings to work at Sasekile Private Game Lodge for a year. A Year in the Wild tells the uproarious, cringe-worthy and hilarious tales of Angus and Hugh in the form of weekly emails to their sister Julia. Their experiences include encounters with guests, animals, female staff and often a mixture of these. Combine: an eclectic mix of rich, over-demanding and adulterous guests, a dash of crazy bush lodge staff including two jealous brothers (one a bitterly sarcastic game ranger and the other an over-eager lodge manager) and throw in the beauty of the African bushveld. Shake well. Conflict and disaster are inevitable.

‘… a window into a world juxtaposed between the wilds of Africa and the pampered international guests they attract, who are cosseted by a service contingent catering to their every whim. Staff scandal, sibling rivalry, romantic liaisons and spoofs on South African and international stereotypes made for a rich entertaining read.’ Stephanie Saville, The Witness

James Hendry spent ten years working at exclusive lodges in southern Africa. He worked as a ranger, ranger trainer, head ranger, land manager, lodge manager, researcher and entertainer. James co-authored the non-fiction bestseller Whatever You Do, Don’t Run (2006).

Ways of Staying

South African Odyssey

Kevin Bloom

The Autobiography of Bertha Goudvis Bertha Goudvis Edited by Marcia Leveson

A story at once deeply personal and edifyingly public, Ways of Staying is one man’s journey into the heart of a country that remains riven and undefined. From the murder of the author’s cousin in 2006 to the hills of Zululand mere weeks after the death of historian David Rattray, from the fateful ruling party showdown at Polokwane in 2007 to the xenophobic attacks of winter 2008, here is a book that ventures far beneath the headlines and into the very marrow of a strange and troubled land. October 2010 ❘ Non-fiction (Memoir) ❘ Paperback (198 x 130 mm) ❘ 256 pp 978-1-77010-123-4 ❘ Rights: Southern Africa


Bertha Goudvis was an intrepid woman in the mould of Olive Schreiner, being a pioneering feminist in spirit and a lifelong writer and observer of South Africa. Goudvis’s life spanned nearly a century – she died in 1966 having witnessed three wars and the country’s change from colonial to modern state. This is the story of a revolutionary-for-her-times writer who eloquently brings to life a pre-modern South African landscape etched with the discovery of gold, rebellion and wars and early South African culture and politics.

The Last Days of Robert Mugabe Peter Godwin

Why African Capitalism Needs Changing Moeletsi Mbeki

In mid-2008, after nearly three decades of increasingly tyrannical rule, Robert Mugabe, the eighty-four-year-old ruler of Zimbabwe, met his politburo. He had just lost an election. But instead of conceding power, he was persuaded to launch a brutal campaign of terror to cower his citizens. Journalist and author Peter Godwin was one of the few observers to slip into the country and bear witness to the terrifying period that Zimbabweans call, simply, The Fear.

Fighting for Justice


From banished spectator to assertive actor, white-dominated South Africa emerged from the cold decades of international pariah-hood to play a transformational role in world affairs. Nearly two decades after the new Republic was reconfigured, what have been the state – or regime – identity paradigms of successive South African governments between 1910 and today? The Diplomacy of Transformation analyses this as it moves from the period of white minority domination, starting in 1910, through successive governments and transitions, including the F.W. de Klerk moment, the Nelson Mandela years, the Thabo Mbeki era, the Kgalema Motlanthe months and the Jacob Zuma period.

On the Other Side of Shame is a story about the power of shame and the strength of forgiveness that examines the intricacies of an adoption and reunion saga through the eyes of those most deeply affected.

Conversations with Myself gives readers access to the private man behind the public figure with letters written in the darkest hours of his imprisonment. Here he is, making notes and doodling during meetings, recording troubled dreams on the desk calendar of his Robben Island prison cell. We find him writing journals while on the run during the anti-apartheid struggles in the early 1960s or talking to friends in almost 70 hours of recorded conversations. In these pages he is neither an icon nor a saint, here he is like you and me. October 2010 ❘ Non-fiction (Memoir) ❘ Hardback (234 x 153 mm) ❘ 344 pp 978-0-23074-901-6 ❘ Rights: Southern Africa

Mwenye Hadithi

Illustrated by Adrienne Kennaway

Illustrated by Adrienne Kennaway Lazy Lion orders the animals to build a house for him to live in on the African plain. The Weaver Birds build a house made out of nest grasses and palm leaves, but it isn’t strong enough for Lazy Lion, who is very heavy. The Ant Bears build Lion a house with many rooms and caverns, but it is so dark that Lion can’t see a thing in it. The animals do their best to build Lazy Lion a house, but he is very difficult to please. Will he ever find a home?

One day, all of the animals threw away their old plain skins and got new clothes. But on that day, Greedy Zebra was too busy eating. This is the story of how Zebra got his black and white stripes. All of the animals got to choose their clothing, except for Greedy Zebra, who had to make his clothes from scraps and left-over pieces.

Mwenye Hadithi was born in Nairobi and has written short stories and radio plays. He hopes to be the next great African writer.

Solomon’s Story Judy Froman Winner of the Bookchat Book of the Year 2011 ’The fact that Froman has captured this small piece of South African history for the youth is, in itself, inspirational.’ Tshepo Tshabalala, The Star

‘Solomon’s Story goes well beyond sociology or social history by trying to see through the eyes of the ANC struggle martyr Solomon Mahlangu.’ Drew Forest, Mail & Guardian

To help his family survive Solomon sells apples on the platform at Denneboom train station in Mamelodi. It is 1976, and the closure of schools after the Soweto riots leaves Solomon and his friends with few choices other than to accept their place in apartheid South Africa or to leave the country and try to force change. Solomon chooses to fight for freedom and embarks on a life in exile as a member of Umkhonto we Sizwe. A year later he is sent back to South Africa as an operative, with tragic consequences. Solomon’s Story is a fictional account of the true story of Solomon Mahlangu, a young hero who paid the ultimate price in his contribution to South Africa’s freedom.

Judy Froman was a young child in 1976 and only became familiar with the facts of Solomon Mahlangu’s case in 1995, while working as a research clerk for the inimitable Judge Ismail Mahomed. She has written this novel as a tribute to Solomon, to Judge Mahomed, to her friend Patric Mtshaulana and to all those who made enormous sacrifices to bring South Africa its freedom.
