When Mark Boucher played his first game of cricket for South Africa, a senior player took him aside and bluntly told him he was the worst wicketkeeper ever to play in the national side. Over a decade later, when Bouch finally retired with a plethora of records under his belt and to huge acclaim from the public, he took grim satisfaction in relating this piece of history.

Through My Eyes is the story of a man with remarkable sporting prowess. Born into a sports-mad family in East London, he excelled in squash, tennis and rugby before choosing cricket as his preferred sport. His extraordinary achievements on the field are well known - he was voted SA player of the year in 1998, 2000 and 2006. What is not so well known, and makes up much of this book, are the behind-the-scenes stories and anecdotes. Stories of staring down the barrel of defeat and of celebrating victory; of developing strong bonds with teammates Graeme Smith, Jacques Kallis and others that go way beyond mere friendship. What emerges is the image of a man who always fought for the underdog, whose never-say-die attitude inspires those around him.

Bouch's career was brought to a dramatic end on a cricket pitch in England when the bail of a stump punctured his left eye. But, in his own words, "I lost sight but gained vision".

True to his character of gritty determination, Bouch has rededicated his life to a new cause, that of the environment and particularly the critically endangered rhino.

Die gevierde Springbok-rugbyheld Joost van der Westhuizen en sy vrou, die sangeres Amor Vittone, was ’n glansryke paartjie wat die verbeelding van menige Suid-Afrikaner aangegryp het. Hulle het as hul land se eie “Posh en Becks” bekend gestaan en was geseënd met sukses, roem, ophemeling deur die publiek, en ’n oënskynlik gelukkige huwelik. Totdat ’n skokberig oor ’n seksvideo op die voorblad van ’n plaaslike Sondagkoerant verskyn het …

In hierdie boek vertel Gavin Prins, die welbekende joernalis en ’n persoonlike vriend en vertroueling van die Van der Westhuizens, nou die storie agter die storie – die een wat nog nooit tevore gepubliseer is nie. Prins, wat die seksvideo-skandaal op die voorblad van Rapport bekend gemaak het, beskryf hoe ’n eenvoudige plaasseun wat ’n nasionale rugbyheld geword het, sy droomvrou ontmoet en met haar getrou het – en toe op die mees openbare en vernederende manier in ongenade geval het. Sy bekentenis het ’n sekere mate van bevryding meegebring – totdat ’n lewensgevaarlike siekte hom op sy knieë gedwing het …

Hierdie kragtige vertelling, wat dikwels skokkend maar uiteindelik opheffend is, is die ware verhaal agter die opspraakwekkende opskrifte wat Suid-Afrika se bekendste paartjie geteister het.

The celebrated Springbok rugby hero Joost van der Westhuizen and his wife, the singer Amor Vittone, were a glamorous couple who captured the imagination of many South Africans. Known as their country’s own ‘Posh and Becks’, they were blessed with success, fame, public adulation and an apparently happy marriage. Until a shock report appeared on the front page of a local Sunday newspaper about a sex video …

In this book, the well-known journalist, and a personal friend and confidante of the Van der Westhuizens, Gavin Prins, now recounts the story behind the story – one that has never been published before. Prins, who broke the sex-video scandal on the front page of Rapport, chronicles how a simple farm boy who had become a national rugby hero met the woman of his dreams and married her, only to fall from grace in the most publicly humiliating way possible. With his confession came a measure of redemption – until he was brought to his knees by a lifethreatening illness …

Hard-hitting, often shocking but ultimately uplifting, this is the true story behind the sensational headlines that have dogged South Africa’s most high profile couple.

Making Champions by Michael Jenkins is a journey into the histories, hearts and homes of some of South Africa’s greatest sporting heroes.

Featuring 14 icons of our time, including AB de Villiers, Ryan Sandes, ‘Beast’ Mtawarira, Siphiwe Tshabalala, Francois Hougaard, Bridgitte Hartley and Siyabonga Nomvethe, Making Champions explores the vastly varied journeys that have taken each of these stars to the very top of their game.

The real story of sporting success is often far more ordinary than we imagine. Every athlete featured in Making Champions was born with natural talent, but each individual has had to work and hone that talent in order to be the best. Making Champions is about getting to know our national heroes better, and sharing the moments that have moved them, shaped them and defined them.

It’s also about equipping and inspiring all South Africans to be champions in their own right, by shining a spotlight on the big difference-making factors that shaped these stories and can guide our own.

It's a scene most South Africans are familiar with; something that adds that oomph to your social status as a South African woman. This is a laugh-out-loud take on a woman's home, but is as serious as the security guards in gated communities. It is a quirky look at the women in our lives; our mothers, our sisters, our cousins, our friends, us. It's the relationship between maids and their madams.

Maid In South Africa takes a lighter look at one of South Africa's most important yet most often overlooked relationships of all: that between a domestic worker and her madam. Seen from both perspectives, the book takes on real conversations with both helpers and employers. This delightful book offers a never-before-seen description of types of madams and their families on one hand, and types of helpers on the other. Through these introductions and distinctions, you will not only learn the differences between the city or town helper, but also about the quirks of the Malawian or Zimbabwean helper.

In addition, you discover invaluable truths about maid-madam relationships, including why helpers leave; how to tell the difference between old money and the nouveau riche; and that there is only one type of black madam - the middle-class African madam, because the rich African madam, as well as her Indian and white counterparts, have transcended race.

South African Battles describes 36 battles spread over five centuries. These are not the well-trodden battlefields of standard histories, but generally lesser-known ones. Some were of critical importance, while some were infinitely curious.

Who, for instance, has heard of the battles of Nakob, Middelpos, Mome Gorge or Mushroom Valley? Who knows about the four black women that Bartolomeu Dias brought with him on his pioneering voyage of exploration? Who knows that there was a significant battle in what is now the Kruger National Park in 1725? Who knows about the military episode where not a shot was fired but which brought South Africa into the Great War? Who knows that Germany once invaded South Africa?

Written in a light, humorous and personal style, each chapter is self-contained, like a short story. They can be read one a night, and mulled over next day with the promise of further enjoyment to come. South African Battles is an ideal bedside book, as well as an engaging travel companion.

But there is also a twist in the tale at the end. Caveat lector, or lectrix!

As National Director of Public Prosecutions from 2005 until 2007, Advocate Vusi Pikoli pursued criminal charges against the current President of South Africa Jacob Zuma and the convicted former National Police Commissioner Jackie Selebi. It was his dogged determination to bring the country's top cop to account that ultimately saw Pikoli removed from office and a public inquiry into his suspension held. My Second Initiation traces Pikoli's journey from his first graduation to manhood in the hills of the Eastern Cape, to his second in the corridors of power in government. Pikoli has a deeply ingrained loyalty to the Constitution of the country and a keenly developed sense of justice, cultivated on the politically aware streets and rugby fields of New Brighton township. He recounts how he fled with his ANC unit into exile and spent fourteen years away from his home and his family, suffering the loss of a child and a man he considered a brother.

A magistrate put Glenn Agliotti among the ‘snitches, pimps, rats who would sell their soul to evade a long prison term’. The press called him a drug trafficker and a drug dealer. He was. He’d admitted to these crimes and signed a plea bargain to blow the whistle on an associate. He was also known as the Landlord, which made him sound like a mafia boss.

He was too a facilitator between those in high places, think Jackie Selebi, and businessmen on the make, think Brett Kebble. He was known as a fixer, the go-to guy who commanded fees of R100 million to organise connections.

This is the story of the man who did business in coffee shops and met associates in car parks and underground garages. It is the story of the man who bought shoes for the national commissioner of police. The man accused of the murder of Brett Kebble. This is the story of Glenn Agliotti, one of Johannesburg’s sons of the underworld.

As the favoured son of a tribal headman, Nelson Mandela was perhaps always destined for greatness. However, Mandela was to spend some 27 years of his life behind bars but during this time he rose up to become a powerful symbol of the struggle against apartheid and racism.

Through a series of revealing photographs and concise but illuminating text, this book charts Mandela’s long journey from young firebrand to elder statesman and global icon.

Fractured Lives is a memoir of one woman's experiences as a documentary filmmaker covering the wars in southern Africa during the 1980s and 1990s. Part autobiography, part history, part social commentary and part war story, it offers a female perspective on a traditionally male subject. Growing up in South Africa in a politically active family, Toni went to Britain as an exile in 1965 in the wake of the famous Rivonia Trial, and in the years to follow, became a filmmaker. Despite constant difficulties fighting for funding and commissions from television broadcasters, and the prejudices of working in a male-dominated industry, Toni made several remarkable films in Mozambique and Angola. These bear witness to the silent victims of war, particularly the women and children. Fractured Lives paints the changing landscape of southern Africa: Namibian independence and the end of the war in Mozambique bring hope - but also despondency. Yet there is also the possibility of redemption, of building new lives for the victims of war. In its final chapters, Fractured Lives traces the power of survival and the opportunities for new beginnings. Fractured Lives concludes with Toni's return to South Africa after nearly three decades in exile. However, the joy following the demise of apartheid is tempered by the poignancy of returning to a place that for so long had existed in her dreams alone and the realization that home will forever lie somewhere else.

"You see, Mama, I told the truth. And so did my grandpa. It’s the last time before I die that I can show my descendants the truth about what happened here. Now I can rest." – Dawid Kruiper to Patricia Glyn.

Dawid Kruiper was an old Bushman with a secret that had been kept in his family for over a century, and which he wanted to hand on to his sons before he died. But he didn’t have the means to take his children back to the place where his grandfather had witnessed the horror that silenced him.

So Dawid asked Patricia Glyn to help him mount the great – and final – odyssey of his life. For two months in 2011, three generations of the Kruiper family, Patricia and her expedition crew travelled through the Kalahari, visiting and documenting places where Dawid and his forebears had roamed when they were ‘wild’ and free in the decades before the outsiders arrived in their homeland. And their journey culminated in Dawid releasing his secret to the world.

This is the story of how Patricia’s assumptions about and relationships with the Kruiper family were tested to the limit before they trusted her with their knowledge and stories. Patricia slowly gains an understanding of the depth of the Kruipers’ pain after centuries of genocide, prejudice and dispossession. The result is a candid but compassionate account of how this historical trauma manifests in the everyday lives of a contemporary Bushman family.

Patricia describes what she learned from the family about humankind’s original relationship with wilderness and the natural world. She recounts the Kruipers’ extraordinary veld knowledge and intuition, their inbuilt GPS and prescience.

This is an eco-adventure with a difference. What Dawid Knew explores the personal history and heritage of a remarkable family and what the Bushmen have to teach us about respect for, and responsible management of, our natural resources.

The ninth of eleven children born to political activists Ebrahim and Fatima Asvat, Amina Cachalia’s political activism and championing of women’s rights was almost a preordained path with her father’s connection with Mahatma Gandhi and a family tradition that started with her father’s explanation of racial discrimination.

When Hope and History Rhyme explores Amina’s remarkable life from her early childhood to the women’s march on the Union Buildings in Pretoria on 9 August 1956, when a heavily pregnant Amina was one of 20 000 women to march against the pass laws for black women, to her banning, in 1963, for 15 years and the trials and tribulations when her husband, Yusuf, was placed under house arrest and banned for a total of 27 years.

The book includes details of Amina’s close relationship with Nelson Mandela, from their first meeting to their poignant encounters after his release from prison in 1990, and allows the reader to experience the people, places and events that have been a part of Amina’s extraordinary life journey.

Toe Debbie Calitz en Bruno Pelizzari in Oktober 2010 in Dar-es-Salaam anker lig, sou hulle nooit kon raai dat hulle op ’n hellevaart vertrek nie.

Drie dae nadat hulle as bemanningslede op die seiljag Choizel vertrek het, is die vaartuig gekaap deur Somaliese seerowers wat ʼn losprys vir Debbie en Bruno geëis het. Twintig maande lank is die paartjie van die een donker hool na die ander verskuif, telkens met ander oppassers wat hulle – en veral vir Debbie – aan onbeskryflike gruweldade onderwerp het.

Dit was Debbie se geestelike ingesteldheid, haar medemenslikheid, en ironies genoeg, haar verlede as ʼn slagoffer van mishandeling, wat haar aan die lewe help hou het deur positief te bly en te glo dat sy en Bruno gered sou word.

In hierdie meesleurende boek oor afskuwelike ontmensliking onthul Debbie die besonderhede van hul beproewing en hul uiteindelike bevryding. Dit is die verhaal van ʼn vrou se onoorwinlike moed toe vryheid en menswaardigheid nog net ʼn vae herinnering was.

Melinda Ferguson is a well-known, award-winning True Love magazine journo and bestselling author of Smacked: a harrowing journey of addiction and Hooked. Both of Ferguson’s highly acclaimed books have been about her own journey. In her latest offering however, Melinda takes on the role of an active observer to bring us The Kelly Khumalo Story, told with the same no-holds-barred writing that she has become renowned for.

Kelly Khumalo is an award-winning kwaito star who rose to national fame at the age of 21: the shining star who after a string of bad decisions and relationships soon lost her shine. The book tracks the life and times of the fallen township pop princess, her plummet from grace, disastrous relationships with men, her addiction to cocaine, and finally her hard-fought battle back to sanity and her real love, music. Seen through Melinda’s sharp and always original eye, The Kelly Khumalo Story promises to be a page turner from start to finish. Now reunited with Kelly, manager Sarah Setlaelo, in her contributions to the book, offers a rare glimpse into the backstage of the South African music industry, rife with sensation and backstabbing. It is a tale of highs, lows and personal triumph. Ultimately the real question is: can Kelly come back from the edge?

Melinda formed a special bond with Kelly Khumalo in 2011 when she took the fallen-from-grace, young and drug-ravaged star to her first Narcotics Anonymous meeting. A mentoring relationship and friendship developed, giving Ferguson intimate and brutally real access to Kelly Khumalo’s life and journey of rebuilding and redemption.

“Initially I was totally disinterested in Kelly Khumalo, assuming she was just another empty headed member of The Young and Wasted Bling Generation, but once I peeled away the layers I saw the raw and undeniable talent of a young woman whose story promises to become one of the most inspirational of our times.” – Melinda Ferguson

“The talent that God gave me is bigger than the scandals, the drugs and the mistakes I made with men.” – Kelly Khumalo

People love talking about Loui Fish. She has been called many things: social butterfly, party animal, sex kitten, flirt, and cougar. But to that list one can also add: gorgeous, successful, and witty. She is not to be underestimated – she is most definitely her own person, with a zest for life. Not many people can claim to have rubbed shoulders with Victoria and David Beckham or boast Jimmy Choo as a personal friend or George Michael as a former neighbour.

In her revealing autobiography, Walking in My Choos, she recounts how, as a child, she had always wanted to marry a rock star. Early in her adult life there was a brief dalliance with Steve Hofmeyr. James Small took her out of the Boland, but in return she was introduced to his temper and his fists. Eventually she married the love of her life, Mark Fish, and became part of a social group known as Footballers’ Wives – women to whom the labels on their underwear are as important as the cars they drive.

This is a tale of passion, violence and love. Of haute couture and life in the fast lane. But it is also the story of a vulnerable woman who ultimately realises that money only gets you so far, and that all the glory and admiration can’t guarantee happiness. Does it really matter what everyone else says?

“Why am I writing my story? I am not a victim. I am not a bad person. I am just a girl who fell in love with a young man. Who might still be in love with him. But I’m not 24 anymore. I was married for almost 11 years. And why are we not married anymore? Well, as my icon once remarked in an interview with Martin Bashir: ‘It was getting a little crowded.’ Like me, she was referring to her marriage. She was known as Princess Diana.”

'n Rugbylegende is volksbesit; iemand wat ver buite die grense van provinsialisme aanvaar en bewonder word. Noord-Transvaal en die Blou Bulle het van die wereld se grootste rugbylegendes opgelewer. Mens kan dadelik dink aan Frik du Preez, bekend vir die legendariese wedstryd waar hy sommer "gedrop, geplace en gescore" het. Herinneringe aan Naas Botha se taktiese skoppe, waar hy selfs kan spog met 'n doelskop van die kantlyn af in 'n amperse orkaan en stortreen. Joost van der Westhuizen met sy giftige breekslae van vaste fasette af en ook losskrums en losgemale sal menige rubgy-ondersteuners bybly. En Victor Matfield wat wereldrugby se lynstane oorheers het is maar enkeles wat in die merkwaardige boek voorkom. Hierdie boek bespreek die loopbane en prestasies van 75 van die legendariese spelers wat die afgelope 75 jaar vir Noord-Transvaal, die Blou Bulle en die Bulls gespeel het.

The Accidental Ambassador follows on from the successful Tony Leon autobiography, On the Contrary (2008) to showcase Leon's wit and sense of humour as he takes the reader on the journey of his retirement from active political life and into public service as the South African ambassador to Argentina.

From Leon's 'Job interview' with Jacob Zuma in Tuynhuis in 2008, to his immersion in governmental bureaucracy and a three-week crash course on 'How to be an ambassador' to the strange stance and contradictions of South African foreign policy and life in Argentina, he shares with the reader his entertaining experiences of cultural immersion, comical anecdotes and political reflection.

It provides great insight into the behind-the-scenes life of an ambassador.

As the most capped Springbok ever, Victor Matfield is a national hero who transcends rugby provincialism and has fans across the world. His rugby exploits and achievements are numerous: he was an instrumental part of the team that won the 2007 Rugby World Cup, he helped win two Tri Nations tournaments for the Boks, he has lifted the Super 14 trophy three times with the Bulls and he has enjoyed Currie Cup glory.

In his much-anticipated autobiography, he opens up about his life, from growing up as a shy boy in Pietersburg to moving to Pretoria, where he had to learn the hard way about dealing with the pleasures of life as a talented young rugby player. He talks frankly about his issues with coaches, including his mentor Heyneke Meyer and Jake White, who once tried to physically attack him. Victor also deals with Kamp Staaldraad and other controversies, the challenges rugby poses to his personal life and the sacrifices inherent in the life of a professional sportsman.

In this Rugby World Cup year, this is undoubtedly the one book every rugby fan will want to read.

Een Wêreldbeker, ’n reeks-oorwinning oor die Britse en Ierse Leeus, twee Drienasies-titels, drie Super Rugby-trofeë en drie Curriebekers… Dit is een man se buitengewone prestasies in ’n loopbaan wat oor 16 ongelooflike jare gestrek het. Sy naam is Victor Matfield, en hy is ’n internasionale en Suid-Afrikaanse sportlegende. Jy wíl sy storie lees…

Vanaf sy grootwordjare toe hy ’n skaam, sport-mal seuntjie in Pietersburg was totdat hy die kruin van sy sukses in sy rugbyloopbaan bereik het, het Victor as ’n professionele sportman op die harde manier geleer van die plesier wat die lewe bied sowel as die pynlike druk wat daarmee saam gaan. In hierdie outobiografie waarna daar met groot afwagting uitgesien is, vertel hy openhartig van sy verhoudings met sy afrigters, insluitend Heyneke Meyer, Jake White en Peter de Villiers, die sterk bande wat hy met sy spanmaats gesmee het by die Bulle en in die nasionale span, en sy diepgaande liefde en respek vir die Springbok-trui. Hy bespreek die strydige kwessies wat die Suid-Afrikaanse rugbytoneel geteister het in die tydgleuf waarbinne sy loopbaan geval het, die opgang in Blou Bul-rugby en hul tekortkominge ten opsigte van topvorm-kondisie tydens sy laaste rugbyseisoen, die Bokke se kontroversiële kwarteindstryd wat die einde van hul mededinging om die Rugbywêreldbeker in 2011 beteken het, sy uittrede uit rugby en veel, veel meer.

Victor: My Reis is ongetwyfeld die een boek wat elke rugbyliefhebber sál wil lees.

Daar is min gesigte op Suid-Afrikaanse televisie so wyd herken en geliefd soos die van Johan Stemmet, en min kenwysies so sinoniem met naweekaand-vermaak as die vrolike Noot vir Noot-klingel. Dat Johan Stemmet al vir meer as dertig jaar ononderbroke by televisie betrokke is, voor en agter die skerms, mag dalk sommige verras (hy lyk dan nie 'n dag ouer as dertig nie?) - maar nog interessanter is die doodgewone aardsheid en opregte menswees wat die toonaard bepaal vir die gebore Weskusklong se lewenslied. Woord vir Woord is 'n reis deur Johan se lewe: 'n kleurvolle concerto met 'n goeie sarsie dawerende akkoorde (geweet dat Johan as student vir Paul Getty II partytjiemusiek verskaf het? Of die een was wat gesorg het vir Tolla van der Merwe se eerste televisieverskyning?) en onverwagse vingerlopies (hy't Afrikaans gegee by Rondebosch Boys High - en dink self sy onderbaadjies op televisie lyk verspot!). Of jy nou 'n getroue aanhanger is, of eerder grappenderwys dink 'Kyk hoe kyk hy vir my!' - Woord vir Woord is meer as bloot die vertel van 'n fassinerende lewe. Dis ook die verhaal van die ontvouing van die Suid-Afrikaanse televisiebedryf en 'n sout-van-die-aarde-storie wat nie anders kan as om wyd te resoneer en te boei nie!

More than a ringleader, a rabble-rouser 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. Whether you love him or loathe him, he is undeniably one of the most controversial politicians of our time and yet he remains an enigma to most.

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 through 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 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.

Koos Meyer is ‘n legende. Op laerskool reeds was hy ‘n entrepreneur met die aardigste geldmaakplanne. As nie-studerende student op Stellenbosch het hy roem verwerf as poetsbakker en kansvatter. En as joernalis, prospekteerder, grootwildjagter, matroos, hotelbestuurder, wildbewaarder en toespraakmaker het hy hom onderskei deur sy ongewone manier van doen.

Hy het nooit nodig gehad om snaaks te wees nie; hy was dit net. Met verborge agter die plesierige masker ‘n diepte waarvan min weet. Hier is bekende en minder bekende Koos-stories – nostagiese plesier vir tydgenote van hom, en ‘n aansteeklike kennismaking vir jonger lesers.

Soos Ollie Viljoen sê: “Daar is net één Koos Meyer.”

Smacked is the powerful, uncompromising story of one woman's struggle with addiction and her ultimate triumph over it. Hooked on heroin and crack cocaine, Melinda Ferguson gave up everything she cared about - her children, her marriage, her career - in pursuit of the next fix, the next high. Bold, raw and unashamedly honest, Smacked is a tale of loss and rehabilitation that takes us to the darkest corners of an addict's psyche before offering us uncensored insight into what it takes to get and stay clean.

Jay Naidoo was a tireless anti-apartheid campaigner in the 1980s, serving as the first General Secretary of Coastu, South Africa’s largest union federation and the backbone of the internal mass struggles against apartheid. In 1993, he stepped down to lead twenty leaders from Cosatu into parliament on an ANC ticket, and was asked by Nelson Mandela to work as the Minister responsible for the Reconstruction and Development Programme, and then as the Minister of Communications. In 1999 Jay moved away from politics and entered the world of business, setting up the J&J Group, an investment and management company. He remained engaged in the field of development and was appointed as the Chairman of the Development Bank of Southern Africa. In 2003 he became the Chairman of the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition, launched to fight the malnutrition facing 2 billion people around the world.
