Anelia Schutte grew up in Knysna – a beautiful town on the coast of South Africa, centred around a picturesque lagoon and popular with tourists. But there was another side to Knysna that those tourists never saw. In the hills surrounding the town with its exclusively white population lay the townships and squatter camps where the coloured and black people were forced to live.

Most white children would never go to the other side of the hill, but Anelia did. Her earliest memories are of being the only white girl at a crèche for black children that her mother, Owéna, set up in the 1980s as a social worker serving the black community. Thirty years on, Anelia, now living in London, yearns to find out more about her mother’s work, and to understand the political unrest that clouded South Africa at the time. She returns to Knysna to find the truth about the town she grew up in, from the stories and memories of the people who were there.

For The People is an exploration of apartheid South Africa through the eyes of Owéna – a white woman who worked tirelessly for the black people of Knysna and found herself swept up in their struggle. They called her Nobantu: ‘for the people'.

Nancy Brooks was sixteen when she went to sea with her father. Despite a gypsy fortune-teller’s warning to her mother, on 2 July 1938, she signed up as Captain’s Clerk for a shilling a week on the SS Nailsea Manor.

Leaving from Birkenhead in Liverpool, the ship was to circumnavigate the world. The log Nancy Fancy Pants, as she became known, types during the voyage tells tales of exotic ports, fascinating people and places, and the rope-and-grease routine of a sailor. On board, she masters navigation, the Morse code as well as all the sea knots, and she flies high on the swing the crew rig up for her. On land, she learns even more, but when a squall takes its toll one stormy night in Australia, she is unprepared for the lessons death brings. Between the neatly typed lines of her extraordinary record, she captures her own journey, of self-discovery, and love.

The Skipper’s Daughter interweaves the log with Nancy’s recollections and is lovingly shared with us by her daughter, Nancy Richards.

A family torn apart by war, geography, politics, religion, over the course of three generations.

June 1940. As Paris falls to the Germans, Gaston Cassar - honorable servant of France, devoted husband and father, currently posted as naval attache in Salonica - bids farewell to his beloved wife, aunt and children, placing his faith in God that they will be reunited after the war. But escaping the violence of that cataclysm is not the same as emerging unscathed. The family will never again be whole.

A work of breathtaking historical sweep and vivid psychological intimacy, This Strange Eventful History charts the Cassars' unfolding story as its members move between Salonica and Algeria, the US, Cuba, Canada, Argentina, Australia and France - their itinerary shaped as much by a search for an elusive wholeness, as by the imperatives of politics, faith, family, industry and desire.

African Customary Law in South Africa: Post-Apartheid and Living Law Perspectives, Second Edition, offers a clear and accessible introduction to African indigenous law.

Drawing upon the rich data, empirical research, case law (such as that on marriage validity) and legislative developments (including the Traditional and Khoi-San Leadership Act 3 of 2019 and the Traditional Courts Bill [B1D-2017]) that have emerged within the recent period, this second edition presents a deepened theoretical and technical understanding of living customary law. In a concise manner, the text provides foundational content on key aspects of living customary law systems whilst also engaging the problematics of both contemporary and historical concern evidenced in emerging issues and debates within the discipline of law, and society more generally. Employing an enquiring, critical approach, the text offers a decolonial contribution on the dynamic construct that is 'customary law' as rooted within a democr atic constitutional order.

Amongst the many relevant and timely topics covered by the work, African Customary Law in South Africa: Post-Apartheid and Living Law Perspectives, Second Edition, includes an essential new chapter on land ownership and tenure in customary law, and presents an authoritative account of the extensive developments within the sphere of traditional leadership. In addition, the text offers a new framework that moves beyond harmonization of customary law and common law, where conflicts of law might arise, to envisioning a holistically South African and truly 'common' law.

Hoe onmasker ’n vrou die man wat haar aanrand sonder om die teiken vir sy wraak te word?

“Hy sal vir jou sê dit sal nooit weer gebeur nie, maar trust me, dit sal. As daardie membraan tussen selfbeheer en gewelddadigheid eers eenkeer geskeur het, word dit nooit weer heel nie. Dis soos ʼn maagdevlies. Jy kan nooit weer ʼn maagd word nie. Soos onskuld. As jy dit eers verloor het, kry jy dit nooit weer terug nie. En die aanrandings sal eskaleer. It is the nature of the beast.”

Mirre weet Marilyn is reg, maar ʼn Dreyer skei nie. En as sy hom aankla van huishoudelike geweld, sal hy nooit weer sy beroep as befaamde huweliksberader kan volg nie. Sy reputasie sal vernietig wees. En dít sal hy haar nooit vergewe nie.

Buitendien, sy verstaan waar die ‘beast’ in haar andersins sjarmante man vandaan kom. Maar sy weet ook dat sy volgende keer dalk nie ʼn aanranding sal oorleef nie.

Mirre gaan skuil by haar vriendin Corali op Vywerbaai, waar Boeta Naudé met sy vrou en drie seuns ook woon. Boeta, haar jeugliefde wat steeds haar hart in die holte van sy growwe bouershand hou.

Mirre is die tweede deel van die Vywervrou-trilogie wat gaan oor vroue wat hulle lewenslesse op die moeilike manier leer, maar nie moed opgee nie.

Spanning the years 1900 to 1977, The Covenant of Water follows a family in southern India that suffers a peculiar affliction: in every generation, at least one person dies by drowning - and in Kerala, water is everywhere.

At the turn of the century a twelve-year-old girl, grieving the death of her father, is sent by boat to her wedding, where she will meet her forty-year-old husband for the first time. From this poignant beginning, the young girl and future matriarch - known as Big Ammachi - will witness unthinkable changes at home and at large over the span of her extraordinary life, full of the joys and trials of love and the struggles of hardship.

A shimmering evocation of a lost India and of the passage of time itself, The Covenant of Water is a hymn to progress in medicine and to human understanding, and a humbling testament to the hardships undergone by past generations for the sake of those alive today. Imbued with humour, deep emotion and the essence of life, it is one of the most masterful literary novels published in recent years.

A striking fantasy tale of dark magic, dangerous politics, and discovering your true self-perfect for fans of Game of Thrones, An Ember in the Ashes and A Court of Thorns and Roses. Sixteen years ago the Kingdom of Winter was conquered and its citizens enslaved, leaving them without magic or a monarch. Now the Winterians' only hope for freedom is the eight survivors who managed to escape, and who have been waiting for the opportunity to steal back Winter's magic and rebuild the kingdom ever since. Orphaned as an infant during Winter's defeat, Meira has lived her whole life as a refugee. Training to be a warrior-and desperately in love with her best friend, Winter's future king-she would do anything to help Winter rise to power again. So when scouts discover the location of the ancient locket that can restore Winter's magic, Meira decides to go after it herself-only to find herself thrust into a world of evil magic and dangerous politics-and ultimately comes to realize that her destiny is not, never has been, her own.

Managing Business Projects: The Essentials differs from many other project management textbooks. Foremost, it is about business projects as opposed to construction or engineering projects. Although many techniques, like schedule management, apply to both, they are usually applied differently. As its title conveys, the book explains the essential techniques and perspectives needed for business projects to be successful. The focus is on small- and medium-sized projects, up to $20 million, but often below $1 million. Some literature favors large and mega-projects, but for every mega-project, there are many thousands of smaller projects that are vital to the organization and could involve considerable complexity and risk. Nevertheless, the techniques outlined here also apply to mega-projects and their many subprojects; they even apply to some aspects of construction or engineering projects.

This book does not aim to cover all project management techniques. In real life there is simply no time for sophisticated ‘should-dos.' Rather, it covers the essentials that apply to almost all business projects; these are unlikely to change in the future even as technology and methodologies advance. The driving idea, which is stated repeatedly, is to do the essentials and to do them consistently and well.

Strong emphasis is placed on things that happen before, around, and after the project itself. So, while the basic disciplines like engaging with stakeholders, managing scope, schedules, costs, risks, issues, changes, and communication, are thoroughly explained, other important aspects are covered. These include: governance of a project and of a portfolio of projects, project selection with its financial and non-financial aspects, effective use of the business case through to benefits realization, procurement, outsourcing and partnership, and also the agile mindset that is valuable beyond Agile projects.

Besides project managers and sponsors, this book is intended for people who are working in business or government, at any level, or for MBA students. It offers perspectives that enable them to learn more from their everyday experience. It is not aimed at undergraduate students, although many would benefit from the contents.

The sequel to Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight.

In her twenties Alexandra Fuller embarked on a new journey, into a long, tempestuous marriage to Charlie Ross, the love of her life. In this frank, personal memoir, she charts their twenty years together, from the brutal beauty of the Zambezi to the mountains of Wyoming - the new adventures, the unexplored paths, the insurmountable obstacles... and the many signals that they missed along the way.

Esther Wolmarans, die liefde van Andreas se lewe, is ’n deernisvolle, diensvaardige, sagmoedige meisie wat deur omstandighede gedwing word om die rol van versorger en huishoudster te speel. Volgens ou standaarde is sy ’n oujongnooi in wording.

Estie, soos Andreas haar noem, is een van die min mense wat die hart en rede van haar verbitterde vader, Jacob Wolmarans, ken. Sy is die lig in sy lewe. Andreas voel met die eerste aanblik aangetrokke tot haar maar die paartjie moet haar pa se toestemming met moeite verkry om uiteindelik te trou. Sal Estie ná baie trane en groot opofferings haar plek as predikantsvrou kan vind in die gemeente waar die Wolmarans-gesin dikwels die middelpunt van die dorp se skinderstories is?

Andreas worstel ook met ’n ander probleem. Hy sien diskriminasie raak en kritiseer die apartheid wat in die kerk toegepas word, en dit word ook onder die vaandel van die liefde van God in die verhaal uitgebeeld.

In Die grootste hiervan is die liefde ervaar ons God se liefde wat vergestalting vind in Andreas en Estie se huwelik en hul bediening as predikantspaar. Hierdie deernisvolle verhaal fokus op die spesiale liefde tussen man en vrou, tussen Christene onder mekaar en hul naastes.

Sean is nog altyd gefassineer deur die heelal en alles daarin. Hy lê gereeld in die aande in sy bed en dink aan al die mense wat voor hom op aarde was. Hoe almal gepoog het om die heelal te verstaan: waar ons vandaan kom en waarheen ons op pad is. Die probleem is, jy weet nie wat gebeur met jou in die ander heelalle nie en die kans om hulle ooit te sien is skraal of nul. Sean hou duim vas vir ’n inter-meer-al-ruimtewurm, maar al wat nou bestaan is hierdie heelal en hierdie realiteit. Om die waarheid te sê, hy dink hy het beland in een van die heelalle van Sean wat beslis ’n fabrieksfout was. Dit tot hy vir Mika ontmoet het en hulle lewens nooit weer dieselfde sou wees nie. Altans, nie in hierdie heelal nie ...
