Enemy Of The People - How Jacob Zuma Stole South Africa And How The People Fought Back (Paperback): Adriaan Basson, Pieter du... Enemy Of The People - How Jacob Zuma Stole South Africa And How The People Fought Back (Paperback)
Adriaan Basson, Pieter du Toit 17
R268 Discovery Miles 2 680 Ships in 5 - 10 working days

Enemy Of The People is the first definitive account of Zuma’s catastrophic misrule, offering eyewitness descriptions and cogent analysis of how South Africa was brought to its knees – and how a nation fought back.

When Jacob Zuma took over the leadership of the ANC one muggy Polokwane evening in December 2007, he inherited a country where GDP was growing by more than 6% per annum, a party enjoying the support of two-thirds of the electorate, and a unified tripartite alliance. Today, South Africa is caught in the grip of a patronage network, the economy is floundering and the ANC is staring down the barrel of a defeat at the 2019 general elections. How did we get here?

Zuma first brought to heel his party, Africa’s oldest and most revered liberation movement, subduing and isolating dissidents associated with his predecessor Thabo Mbeki. Then saw the emergence of the tenderpreneur and those attempting to capture the state, as well as a network of family, friends and business associates that has become so deeply embedded that it has, in effect, replaced many parts of government. Zuma opened up the state to industrial-scale levels of corruption, causing irreparable damage to state enterprises, institutions of democracy, and the ANC itself.

But it hasn’t all gone Zuma’s way. Former allies have peeled away. A new era of activism has arisen and outspoken civil servants have stepped forward to join a cross-section of civil society and a robust media. As a divided ANC square off for the elective conference in December, where there is everything to gain or to lose, award-winning journalists Adriaan Basson and Pieter du Toit offer a brilliant and up-to-date account of the Zuma era.

Jan Theron 1
R330 R305 Discovery Miles 3 050 Save R25 (8%) Ships in 5 - 10 working days

Solidarity Road tells the story of Jan Theron’s involvement in the Food and Canning Workers Union (FCWU) during apartheid South Africa. Part memoir, part history this fascinating tale will reveal what working conditions were like in the 1970’s. It outlines the very beginnings of the Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU).

Theron states, ‘Solidarity in a trade union does not simply mean standing by your members, or by organised workers. It means solidarity with your class. At the time, in 1976, the working class was fragmented. Working for a trade union was part of a project to unite a fragmented class, and to give it a voice. This was the historical project to which a number of people from a certain intellectual background were drawn. This would be our contribution to the struggle: what we did to end apartheid. It was a struggle for democracy, but democracy did not just mean everyone getting to vote every so often in national elections. People also had to eat.

The most obvious way in which the working class was then fragmented was in terms of race. The Union put its commitment to solidarity into practice by uniting workers of different races in factories manufacturing food. To do so it had to overcome divisions among workers created by the ways in which government had structured employment, in terms of the law, which the bosses were able to exploit. Nowadays ‘bosses’ seems like a dated term, yet this is the term workers used to refer to the people for whom they actually worked. It is also no less important today than it was then to differentiate between those who control the factories and mines and those who operate at their behest.

Mr Entertainment - The Story Of Taliep Petersen (Paperback): Paula Fourie Mr Entertainment - The Story Of Taliep Petersen (Paperback)
Paula Fourie
R365 Discovery Miles 3 650 Ships in 5 - 7 working days

In Mr Entertainment, we hear the voices of the people who knew Taliep Petersen best: his family, friends and collaborators. Their stories bring to life the spaces he inhabited, vividly recounting scenes from his childhood, his rise to fame from the Cape Coon Carnival stage to the West End, his artistic collaborations, most notably with David Kramer, his family life, and his tragic death and its aftermath.

In this pioneering biography of one of Cape Town’s most beloved entertainers, we encounter Petersen as a complex and many-sided personality whose influence continues to reverberate in national life. Mr Entertainment evokes not just Taliep’s life, but also the music and entertainment worlds of the 1950s to 2000s and their diverse and irrepressible cultural traditions. Along the way, it brings us to the front row of South Africa’s difficult history.

Drawing on the musician’s personal archive and on more than fifty interviews conducted over a decade, Paula Fourie has pieced together a fascinating portrait of Taliep Petersen, acutely observed and poignantly captured.

The fynbos region is one of the most spectacularly diverse places on Earth. This is not an idle statement. When one considers the diversity of insects, freshwater and marine species also associated with the Cape, this hotspot is arguably the hottest of all. It is also confusingly heterogeneous, with a diversity of fine-scale habitats, from wetlands in the lowlands to seeps in the mountains, unique soil, nutrient, aspect and rainfall conditions, all of which combine to sustain and drive this diversity. Fynbos is a fire-adapted vegetation and needs fire to sustain itself: without fire the vegetation would thicken and senesce, permit trees to enter and dominate the system, and eventually exclude the precious nutrients liberated by fire and which the system depends upon for rejuvenation. This book is a guide that will help people who visit, live, manage or own land in the Fynbos Biome to appreciate and manage its extraordinary natural richness.

Jare lank al is Lauretta Blom ’n gedienstige huisvrou in haar beige paleis, die eggenoot van Tobias Blom, ’n suksesvolle sakeman met belange in Johannesburg én die Kaap. Maar met hulle seunskinders wat nou groot en uit die huis uit is, begin die stilte en die pynlike netheid van Retta se praghuis in die Johannesburgse sekuriteitslandgoed haar vasdruk. En sy wonder oor al die dinge wat sy nié gedoen het nie en hoe dit haar lewe gevorm het.

Wanneer sy boonop begin vermoed dat Tobie vir haar iets wegsteek, besluit sy dat dit tyd is om dié dinge te doen wat sy nooit tevore aangedurf het nie.

Eerste op die lys is ’n road trip Kaap toe saam met haar hond, Charlie, en haar kunstenaarsvriendin, Leigh. Die reis lei na die ontwaking van ’n nuwe Retta op ’n kleinhoewe buite Bethulie, maar ook na onthullings in die Kaap wat haar hele lewe omverwerp.

Die susters glo aan lekker huiskos en resepte wat vinnig, maklik en bekostigbaar is – soos wat hulle geliefde oorlede moeder se kookstyl ook was. Maar die boek bevat ook uithangresepte vir daardie spesiale geleenthede! Wat is dan nou lekkerder as ’n pot tradisionele gheemakerrie, of Fatima se alombekende kerrievis, akni, dhaltjies en piesangbrood? En probeer gerus Gadija se sambals, smoortjies en bredies met die geurigste speserye.

Met afdelings soos sop, bredies, poedings, vleis, vis, koeke en gebak is die boek beslis ’n moet vir elke Kaaps-Maleise lekkerbek – en elkeen wat nog altyd meer wou weet van die Kaaps-Maleise kookkuns!

Dr Lily De Angelo is counting down the final weeks before her wedding to Owen Fisher, making sure everything is perfect. The seating arrangements, for one. Owen’s dad from Elsies River on the Cape Flats will have to be seated far away from Lily’s snobbish parents who keep insinuating that Owen is not good enough for their trust fund baby. Owen might look like a young Robert de Niro, but it seems they are all too aware that he is of mixed Capetonian rather than Italian stock. As if that matters!

But Lily’s seating arrangement woes are nothing compared to the shock she gets when Owen’s ex Courtney Hay shows up with her fifteen-year-old mini me, Chiara. With silver bullet suitcases in tow they have come to break the news that Owen might be Chiara’s dad. Suddenly everything goes pear-shaped for Lily, including her ass – and that's despite the incentive bonus to her personal trainer.

Courtney and Chiara move in with Lily and Owen and not only is the ex from hell making eyes at him, but Owen seems a bit too happy at the thought of potentially being a dad. Lily and Owen had decided long ago to commit to love and marraige, but without the baby carriage, thank you very much. Is he changing his mind about children, about her?

Being Lily is a story with equal amounts of humour and depth, exploring what it means to live, love, and commit in the changing times of happy-(n)ever-after.

Hotelier and guest lodge owner extraordinaire Nicky Fitzgerald poses the question, ‘How can you
possibly feed guests who, when they are not on safari, are eating in the best restaurants on the planet?’

As she goes on to say, ‘It is a daunting challenge to prepare food in the middle of nowhere for guests
who come from all four corners of the world, from different culinary cultures and who, quite rightly,
expect the best of the best when it comes to choosing where to stay for their next holiday.’

Angama Mara not only rose to the challenge, it has exceeded it. Perched on the edge of the Great
Rift Valley overlooking Kenya’s lovely Maasai Mara, Angama Mara and its bush kitchen draws
inspiration from the finest ingredients to be found in Kenya: beautiful vegetables from the highlands,
tropical fruits a-plenty from the coast, cheese from a renowned supplier just outside of Nairobi,
prawns from Malindi, freshwater fish from Lake Victoria and beef from the north. As you will discover
as you read this book, Kenyan cuisine is deeply influenced by Arab-inspired Swahili dishes from the
coast and Indian food from the significant communities that have called this country home for many
generations. Aren’t your taste buds dancing with delight at the very thought?

This quirky anthology of recipes, reminiscences, anecdotes and stories was compiled and written
in honour of the chefs at Angama Mara, and its guests who made the dream possible. The food and
the breathtaking scenics were photographed by Sam Linsell, herself a well-known food stylist, food
and travel photographer, and cookbook author.

The worldwide trend towards smaller houses and spaces and apartment type homes has inspired and demanded a new approach in gardening. This is due predominantly to the freedom of expression in the styling and use of outdoor spaces, the approach to hard landscaping and the use of plant material most suited to the environment, house or garden design and style.

The trend is to introduce hard landscaping and plant material natural to the local area, gravel as a substitute for lawn in small spaces, a sense of fun and the unexpected in the use of plants or accessories. This is what makes gardening a pleasure and one of the finest creative arts there is.

Keith Kirsten, world-renowned horticulturist, shares his vast local and international experience and knowledge with his readers in this book on small gardens – from the initial design, the preparation, the hard landscaping elements, container gardening, water, maintenance, garden chores for every month of the year, food and herb gardening, to lists of plants suitable for smaller spaces.

Breathtakingly beautiful photos not only illustrate the information, but are artworks in their own right providing a pool of inspirational ideas.
