Clinton Chauke knows, having been raised alongside his two sisters in a remote village bordering the Kruger National Park and a squatter camp outside Pretoria. With great self-awareness, Clinton negotiates the pitfalls and lifelines of a young life: crime and drugs, football, religion, friendship, school, circumcision and, ultimately, becoming a man.

Professor. Pundit. Public nuisance. In his columns, books and on social media, Jonathan Jansen is prolific, and he likes to speak his mind about schools and universities, race, politics and our complex South African society. He has brought incisive analysis, compassion and a sense of humour to some of the most controversial issues in our country for many years. And now, in this memoir, Jansen goes back to his early years: growing up in a loving, fiercely evangelical family on the Cape Flats, being put on the road to purpose by an inspiring school teacher and becoming the first of his generation to go to university.

Pagad, which started as a community protest action against crime, had mutated into a sinister vigilante group wreaking death and destruction across the city. Mark Shaw tells the incredible tale of how the police’s response pulled together former foes – struggle cadres and the apartheid security apparatus – to break the Pagad death squads.

Dreyer laat die leser in verwondering na die wêreld kyk. Sy natuurgedigte en reisgedigte belig die mens se interaksie met sy omgewing. Ooptes en ongekarteerde gebiede dui op die onsekere avontuur van die post-postmoderne mens. Teenoor gedigte oor die antieke staan dié oor tegnologie, asook wetenskapsfiksie. En die liefde word roerend verbeeld.

Based on over 100 hours of interviews with Bulelani Ngcuka, No Fear is unapologetically Bulelani’s story. Marion Sparg has written a biography from Ngcuka’s perspective; it is his story. In No Fear there is a hero and a villain; grand, sweeping historical background of South Africa and its parities; spies; political manoeuvring; murder; intrigue and love.
