It brings together for the first time the powerful and inspiring Nobel lectures delivered by the four laureates who received the award for peace – Albert Luthuli, Desmond Tutu, FW de Klerk and Nelson Mandela; by the two laureates who received the literature prize – Nadine Gordimer and JM Coetzee; and by the four laureates who were recipients of the Science award – Max Theiler, Allan M Cormack, Aaron Klug and Sydney Brenner. All were born or raised in South Africa.

THE FIRST MAN,THE LAST NATION
R.W. Johnson
‘A tragedy of South Africa is that it has always been ruled – and still is – by elites which seek their own group self-interest rather than that of the country as a whole. Only when it at last acquires a ruling elite which thinks and feels for the whole of this beloved country will this sad cycle change. This is what guarantees Nelson Mandela a special place in South African hearts. He alone for a brief and precious moment seemed to promise at least the possibility of a common South Africanism.’ RW Johnson

In June 2003, a 44-year-old coloured man named Magadien Wentzel walked out of Pollsmoor Prison in Cape Town. Behind him lay a lifelong career in the 28s, South Africa’s oldest and most reviled prison gang, for decades rumoured to have specialised in rape and robbery. In front of him lay the prospect of a law-abiding future, and life in a household of ten adults and eight children, none of whom earned a living.

The Making of a magazine
The story of Drum, the crusading black magazine of the fifties, has long been a legend. For over half a century it has been the subject of books, dramas, TV programmes and now a major feature film.
Yet much of its real spirit has been forgotten or sentimentalised. To correct the distortions of hindsight, here is the original true story of Drum’s early history written by Anthony Sampson who was its editor from 1951 to 1955.
