She called herself Silent Anna, because she couldn’t tell anyone about what happened between her and her stepfather. Many years later, Anna breaks the silence to reveal the sexual abuse she suffered, its impact on her life and how she has finally managed to overcome it. This is the story of how she finally spoke out to the world and in court.

This book is a must-read. Not only because it relates a young girl’s determination to survive and to overcome her traumatic childhood, but also because it does so with such sincerity.

Written long before the #metoo movement, this story is still an important one – its relevance highlighted even more now. It’s me, Anna: The Full Story is a special edition to celebrate Women’s month as part of Kwela’s 25th birthday campaign. This omnibus contains both novels: It’s me, Anna and The state vs Anna Bruwer.

Based on a true story.

Agricultural production is under threat from both indigenous and alien weeds and our entire ecosystem is now being seriously threatened by these alien, invasive species. Awareness of these weeds, the regulations involved and possible control measures are now critical factors. Things change in time, more weeds appear and the scope of this edition is extended up into more central Africa.

As lykbesorger by White Lily Funerals het Seb al talle lyke gebalsem, organe teruggepak in lyfholtes, bene gekonnekteer en wasbleek gesigte gegrimeer vir die laaste besigtiging deur roubeklaers. ’n Mens het jou werk en jy doen dit, dit help nie om vir ander goed te wens nie, of hoe?

Nietemin wens Seb wel af en toe vir die een of ander ingryping om hom los te ruk uit sy saai bestaan – nie net by die werk nie, maar ook tuis waar hy, sy vrou en tienerkinders verby mekaar leef.

Eendag, toe die sterwende seuntjie Gawie en sy ma by die begrafnisondernemers instap, begin Seb tog in wense glo . . .

Tuinmaak is deur die eeue 'n baie besondere stokperdjie wat werklik alle aanslae oorleef het en deel geword het van tuiniers se leefwyse. In Suid-Afrika stel tuinmaak in al die streke van ons land unieke uitdagings aan ywerige tuiniers.

Só maak ons tuin - maand in en maand uit verdeel Suid-Afrika in vyf tuinstreke wat ooreenstem met die erkende klimaatstreke. Die maandelikse tuinaktiwiteite in elke streek word behandel in die 'Take vir die maand'�, wenke word gegee, die 'Mier'� het besondere boodskappies, 'n 'Plant van die maand'� word behandel, verskeie tuinmaakaspekte word bespreek, soos komposmaak, snoeiwerk, voeding vir jou plante, peste- en plaebestryding, en ruimte word voorsien vir die tuinier se notas, waarnemings en beplanning.

Tuiniers raak toenemend bewus van die maanstand se invloed op grondvog, planttyd en groeiwyse van plante en dit word elke maand kortliks bespreek. Die aarde-elemente se verband met sterretekens en die invloed daarvan op die tuin word toegelig en tuiniers kan hulleself spieël in die maandelikse tong-in-die-kies sterretekenverklarings.

Duits Suidwes-Afrika, 1905. ‘n Tyd van oorlog en beroering.

Die tengerige Siegfried Bock kom as soldaat na die protektoraat om sy staal te wys. Maar hy word gou ontnugter toe hy vergrype aanskou wat hy nie kan vergeet nie. Lisbeth Löwenstein is hier om met ’n man te trou wat sy skaars onthou, ’n setlaar wat vir haar armlastige ouers geld gestuur het om haar tot vrou te neem. Mordegai Guruseb ontsnap uit ’n konsentrasiekamp waar gevangenes van ontbering omkom. Maar kort voor lank word sy vryheid weer bedreig. En dan is daar die mislukte dokter Albert Pitzer wat homself ’n wetenskaplike ag en hoop om data te versamel wat sy teorieë staaf. Alvaus Luipert, ’n plaaslike skoolmeester, duld egter nie sy arrogante aannames en vernederende metodes nie.

In die uitgestrekte, majestueuse landskap van Duits Suidwes-Afrika word dié vyf mense se lot vervleg en elkeen se menslikheid word tot die uiterste beproef.

Toe Pamina Vermaak by die werk uitfreak, sit sy skielik sonder inkomste. Boonop verloor sy haar kêrel, haar woonstel in Tamboerskloof, asook die laaste flenters toekomsideale wat sy naarstig aan ’t vasklou was – alles in een dag. Sy is gedwing om druipstert terug te keer na haar ouerhuis op die klein Weskusdorp Witwaterbaai. ’n Plek wat sy gesweer het haar nooit weer sal sien nie.

Intussen basuin die voorblaaie van poniekoerante dit uit dat rockster Wolf de Jager se verlowing met aktrise Daniella du Toit verbreek is en krioel dit op sosiale media van steelfoto’s waar sy hom verneuk. Hy moet weg uit die Kaap en ’n lukrake seleksie op Google Maps bring hom tot op Witwaterbaai, waar sy swart leerbaadjie harder as sy Fender Stratocaster skreeu teen die gehekelde doilies in Ant Leentjie se gastehuis.

Sal Pamina en Wolf op hierdie slakkepas-dorp van bokkoms droog en stoepsit hul probleme kan ontduik? Of lê daar net nog meer komplikasies voor?

Sy is Helena Bosman van ’n piepklein dorpie doer ver in die Noord-Kaap, maar Oupa en Oumie noem haar sommer Vaselinetjie. Sy is hulle veldbosengeltjie, hulle hart se punt. Tot Vaselinetjie tien jaar oud is en die Welsyn haar laat wegstuur na die kosskool in Gauteng – die weeshuis waar Madiba se weggooikinders bly.

Dis ’n vreemde, harde, gevaarlike wêreld van skomgatkinders, kwaai huistannies en ’n hardvogtige, onregverdige koshuisvader; van entjies rook, hare laat afskeer en planne maak om te whallap. Waar niemand oor jou traak nie, en waar jy ook leer om oor niemand te traak nie.

Maar soos die maande jare word, kruis een naam telkens Vaselinetjie se pad: Texan Kirby. En daardie naam loop reguit na haar hart.

South Africa has one of the highest murder rates in the world, and a femicide rate that is more than five times the world average.

In this book, Dr Nechama Brodie looks at the story of femicide in South Africa over the past forty years. She interrogates police, public health and media data, exploring the history of violence against women in an entirely new way that contextualises and challenges the state and public response to what has, in reality, been a crisis for decades.

All the information in this book is based on the author’s decades of experience as an entrepreneur and represents a distillation of the most important lessons he’s learnt. Readers will be empowered to understand how to leverage their strengths, minimise their weaknesses, count the true cost of success, be patient, distinguish between good and bad ideas, manage risk, raise funding wisely and build shared prosperity – all from the perspective of a young black entrepreneur.

‘It is the godly feeling of dancing like a goddess and snapping on a beat with sheer joy that makes all the trouble life demands worthwhile. In these moments, of intensive freedom from pain, of joy that knows no bound and peace that passeth all understanding, I become that kid again, dancing with my mother.’

Welcome Mandla Lishivha’s exquisitely crafted memoir is unlike anything you’ve ever read. Boy On The Run is a staggeringly beautiful and honest exploration of identity through grief, love and friendship, giving us, the readers, a glorious song of self-expression.

This book will change your life.

Suid-Afrikaners is nou maar eenmaal gaande oor vleis. Dis onontbeerlik op enige feestafel, en vir die meeste van ons is selfs ’n gewone weeksaandete nie volledig daarsonder nie. Nie net is dit heerlik en vullend nie, dis ook propvol voedingstowwe wat goed is vir ons.

Vleis: Die Omvattende Gids is ’n moderne ensiklopedie wat ’n ereplek verdien in die kombuis van almal wat graag vleis eet en gaarmaak. Afgesien van resepte vir smullekker vleisgeregte vir elke okkasie bevat dit hope inligting oor die beste manier om die verskillende snitte en soorte vleis te berei, hoe om vleis te vries of tot perfeksie te verouder, tesame met ’n hordes wenke om geur en sappigheid te verseker – alles sonder preserveer- en ander kunsmatige bymiddels. Die voedselwetenskaplike en gewilde kosskrywer Annelien Pienaar se passie vir goeie, volhoubare vleis word weerspieël op elke bladsy van hierdie boek.

Vleis: Die Omvattende Gids is die enigste vleisboek wat jy ooit weer sal nodig kry. Dit bevat:

• Meer as 100 resepte wat die toets van die tyd deurstaan het – daar is beesvleis, lam en skaap, vark, pluimvee, afval en wildsvleis, en enigiets van maklike gesinsetes, tradisionele treffers en spoggerige onthaalkos tot kitsplanne met die oorskiet
• Beskrywings van al die verskillende vleissnitte, hul gebruike en die beste metodes om dit gaar te maak
• Nuttige inligting oor die voedingswaarde en veroudering van vleis, vleisterme en omskakelingstabelle
• Ekstra resepte vir marinades, souse, soutmengsels, aftreksels en deeg wat vleis komplementeer

Hailed in the Times Literary Supplement as ‘probably the finest piece of non-fiction to come out of South Africa since the end of apartheid’, The Dream Deferred is back in print and updated with a brilliant new epilogue.

The prosperous Mbeki clan lost everything to apartheid. Yet the family saw its favourite son, Thabo, rise to become president of South Africa in 1999. A decade later, Mbeki was ousted by his own party and his legacy is bitterly contested – particularly over his handling of the AIDS epidemic and the crisis in Zimbabwe.

Through the story of the Mbeki family, award-wining journalist Mark Gevisser tells the gripping tale of the last tumultuous century of South Africa life, following the family’s path to make sense of the liberation struggle and the future that South Africa has inherited. At the centre of the story is Mbeki, a visionary yet tragic figure who led South Africa to freedom but was not able to overcome the difficulties of his own dislocated life.

It is 15 years since Mbeki was unceremoniously dumped by the ANC, giving rise to the wasted years under Jacob Zuma. With the benefit of hindsight, and as Mbeki reaches the age of 80, Gevisser examines the legacy of the man who succeeded Mandela.

The second verse of any song has to be more killer than the first. Always. The rhythm has to slap. The lyrics must be on point. The feeling intense. And the impact mad-definitive. It’s just the way it is. In the same way, if you do well once in life, then you always have to be better from that point onwards. No doubt.

East London, aka Slummies, circa 1998. Bokang Damane is a dreamer and an outsider with mad problems. Things only get worse when everyone thinks he wants to off himself just because he wrote an essay on suicide. Really? Talk about d.r.a.m.a.

Life at the moment is just a sorry son-of-a-checklist of insolvable problems. Problem #1: Not black enough for the black kids and too black for the white kids. Yep, that’s what happens when you attend a mad-pompous all boys’ college and live in the burbs. Problem #2: Family finances are a joke – they can’t even afford Bokang’s initiation. Now he can’t get props like any decent Xhosa man. Problem #3: An alcoholic, gambling attorney for a father who expects the world to bend to his will.

What’s a man gotta do? Apart from freaking the hell out?

Bokang just wants to rap, sketch and be left alone. Everyone keeps yacking on about Bokang reaching his true potential but everyone keeps getting in the way.

So what happens?

Boy meets girl. It wouldn’t be much of a story otherwise.

Sy’s ʼn boeremeisie, hy ʼn Jood. ʼn Boerejood, ja, maar nogtans ʼn Jood. Vir hulle liefde is daar geen toekoms as hulle dit nie self skep nie.

Terwyl hulle jonk is, dink hulle nie aan die toekoms nie, leef hulle vir die nou, glo hulle die verskille kan oorkom word. En Izak Katz, weet Elizabeth, maak altyd ʼn plan. Altyd.

Hy, met sy lag, sy terg, die sagtheid in sy oë. Die paadjie wat aan hulle toebedeel is, is ongelyk. Soos die middelmannetjie in die drif. Hulle weet van mekaar vermy, van voorgee sodat niemand iets vermoed nie. Van wag. En van liefhê … Totdat Elizabeth gedwing word om ʼn doodsbelofte te maak. En sy weet, sy wéét, hierdie keer is dit verby, nie eers Izak sal nou meer raad hê nie.
