At the very dawn of the country’s brave new democracy, Cape Town was at war. 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.

When Beverley Roos-Muller first began to explore writing about the Boer experience of the war, she read the tiny war diary of Michael, grandfather of her husband, Ampie Muller. It led her to the discovery of the other diaries and many more documents. Bullet in the Heart is a beautifully told account of the fellowship of four brothers in war, their capture and their eventual recovery.

An outrageous miscellany of lies, myths, untruths, fibs and fabrications that tell the woeful history of South Africa. Aimed at offending and entertaining everyone in equal measure, this will have South Africans sniggering and spluttering into their porridge. It will also pique their curiosity.

The thrilling story of the conservationist who pioneered the use of dogs in combating poachers to protect wildlife in South Africa’s game reserves. Barely out of his teens, one of Conraad’s first brushes with the reality of life at the frontline of conservation was when he shot the leader of a poaching gang during an ambush in Windy Ridge game reserve.

BBBEE has not always had a positive image in the media. This is partly due to a few individuals who became mega-rich overnight, while the majority of black people, who were supposed to benefit, remained poor.
This is an inspiring story that shifts that narrative with its evidence of small beginnings, resilience and a social conscience in business .
A plucky team of South African entrepreneurs in the early 2000’s transformed a network of microlenders (or ‘loan sharks’) into a bank — Capitec — that succesfully challenged the country’s established instititutions. Capitec’s exponential growth is a case study in innovation with clear lessons about doing business in Africa.
