In Suid-Afrika se onstuimige tagtigs raak Katrien Neethling bewus van ’n ander wêreld wat nog altyd daar was maar wat sy nie geken het nie. Kan mens net ophou om ’n Afrikaner te wees? Helaas nie. Soos ’n tolbos in die wind bly sy dwarrel tussen politieke woelinge en haar geliefdes wat behoudende boeremense is. Dit is ook die jare waarin die Voëlvry-toer konserwatiewe Suid-Afrikaners en hulle kinders tref met die gevleuelde woorde: “Ons is die mense teen wie julle ouers julle gewaarsku het.” Kort tevore het Wladek Kowalski die politieke woelinge in Pole beleef. Hy met sy digte bos hare en sy eie hartseer verhaal uit die ysige noorde. Ook hy betaal die prys van mense wat anders begin dink. En al is die verlange na sy geboorteland onhoudbaar by tye, kry hierdie hardekwas Afrikaanse meisie dit reg om hom teen sy sin te fassineer. En Katrien leer by Wladek wat die mooi Poolse woorde “moje kochanie” beteken.
In his annual presidential address on 8 January 1986, ANC president Oliver Tambo called on South Africans to make apartheid ungovernable through militant action. But unknown to the world, the quiet-spoken mathematics teacher and aspirant priest turned reluctant revolutionary had also on that very day set up a secret think tank in Lusaka, which he named the Constitution Committee, giving it an ‘ad hoc unique exercise’ that had ‘no precedent in the history of the movement’. Knowing that all wars end at a negotiating table, and judging the balance of forces to be moving in favour of the liberation movement, he wanted the ANC to be prepared and to be holding the initiative after the political collapse of apartheid. Guided by a brilliant analysis by Pallo Jordan, Tambo instructed his new think tank to prepare a constitutional framework for a liberated, non-racial, democratic South Africa. Their task was to formulate the principles and draft the outlines of a constitution that could unite South Africa when the time came to talk in the fledgling days of freedom and democracy. The seven-member team, including Albie Sachs, Kader Asmal and Zola Skweyiya, started deliberating and reporting to Tambo. In correspondence, they typically addressed him as ‘Dear Comrade President’. Drawing on the personal archives of participants, Dear Comrade President explains how this process, which fundamentally influenced the history of contemporary South Africa, unfolded. Why and how did it happen? What were the first written words? When and where were they put on paper? By whom? What values did they espouse? And how did the committee’s work fit into the broader struggle? This book answers these questions in ways that have not been done before and provides paradigm-changing insights into the purposeful first steps taken in the making of South Africa’s Constitution.
Broken Porcelain is not just a book of essays describing one Black woman’s experience of mental illness, but rather a memoir-in-essays that shatters the walls of our hearts and guides us towards empathy – all while providing social commentary that demystifies stigmas of mental illness. In her singular lyrical prose, Relebone Rirhandzu eAfrika covers topics such as social media’s role in how we view depression, generational trauma, what self-care really is, taking anti-depressant medication, and finding love when you are mentally ill. The author writes with poignant honesty about the darkness of her mental illness and breaks down what mental illness is (and is not).
Joanne Hichens lost first her mother, then, in quick succession, her husband, her father and her mother-in-law - two deaths anticipated, two coming as the worst kind of shock. In this memoir of grief and recovery, she writes with honesty and humour of death, our 'constant companion', and the stumbling journey through the country of grief. By turns searing and sparkling, her account gives compelling insight into the losses that stalk us all, while also celebrating the mainstays of life - friendship, family, and the memories of those we love and lose.

This text provides the fundamental concepts and techniques of real analysis for students in all of these areas. It helps one develop the ability to think deductively, analyse mathematical situations and extend ideas to a new context. Like the first three editions, this edition maintains the same spirit and user-friendly approach with addition examples and expansion on Logical Operations and Set Theory. There is also content revision in the following areas: introducing point-set topology before discussing continuity, including a more thorough discussion of limsup and limimf, covering series directly following sequences, adding coverage of Lebesgue Integral and the construction of the reals, and drawing student attention to possible applications wherever possible.

Hier’s Armand weer, sonder klere voor jou deur… Armand se eerste kookboek was ’n wegholsukses.

Sy selfopgelegde uitdaging was om bestanddele wat reeds in sy koskas was, te gebruik. Dié kreatiewe verkennings lei tot ’n ‘van-plaas-tot-tafel’-aanslag wat wys dat die smaaklikste en gesondste kos eenvoudige kos is. Armand Kook Kaal 2 bestaan uit 50 banting- en keto-vriendelike disse.

Five lovely ex-girlfriends; one sweet-talking scoundrel. “Limerence?” “Limerence, yes. It’s like a drug; like lsd. But you can’t buy it. Or go to jail for taking it. If you’ve got it, enjoy it. Just don’t make any long-term decisions. If you want to know what it is, look it up.” When Clarissa shook Scout from her life like crumbs from a picnic blanket forty years ago, she hoped she would never ever see him again. But here he is, on the doorstep of her luxe townhouse. She is more than surprised – she is offended – but, against her better judgment, she listens to his story. He regrets, Scout tells her, that they parted on such bad terms. To make amends, he has named her his sole beneficiary in his last will and testament. Look! It says so on page six. Oh, and by the way, could she lend him four hundred thousand bucks? Months later Clarissa is summoned to a lawyer’s office. She assumes Scout has kicked the bucket and that there will be a reading of his will. But when she arrives, four other women tell her to join the queue. Set in vibrant, ever-changing Joburg, Limerence tracks Scout’s relationships with five remarkable women, from his bygone days of first dates to times of pawpaws hitting fans. Warm-hearted and funny, this is a tale guaranteed to lift the spirits of even the sourest of exes.
So just who is Bertus Basson? A dreamer, successful entrepreneur, braaimaster, genius, fanatic or chef extraordinaire? He is, of course, all of those things. This extraordinary cookbook, beautifully photographed by the legendary Claire Gunn, follows the success of Bertus’s first cookbook Homegrown, now almost out of print. But this one is different. In it you will feel the drive and energy of this whirlwind of a man. The book offers inspiration to those of us who sit, mouths agape, wondering just how Bertus and his remarkable wife have so successfully built multiple restaurants. It presents an inside look into these restaurants from the story of the beginnings and growth of signature restaurant Overture, to Spice Route, wildly popular with the tourist crowds, and Spek & Bone, the small-plate wine bar in Stellenbosch, through to his love affair with burgers and just how De Vrije Burger was conceptualised and brought to life. Being Bertus Basson, or BBB as this book has fondly become known, is a combination of all that makes up Bertus. There’s a bit of entrepreneurial spice; a dollop of the practical advice that makes him such a successful restaurateur. For all those who’ve eaten or who’ve dreamed of eating at one of the restaurants so beautifully photographed in the book, here’s how to do it. The recipes will surprise you with their simplicity and quirkiness, show you just how to step beyond the usual and how to look at food, South African food in particular, in a whole new light. Once you’ve read Being Bertus Basson, there’s no going back to banal food experiences.
Derivatives makes a special effort throughout the text to explain what lies behind the formal mathematics of pricing and hedging. Questions ranging from ‘how are forward prices determined?’ to ‘why does the Black-Scholes formula have the form it does?’ are answered throughout the text. The authors use verbal and pictorial expositions, and sometimes simple mathematical models, to explain underlying principles before proceeding to formal analysis. Extensive uses of numerical examples for illustrative purposes are used throughout to supplement the intuitive and formal presentations.
This Fast Track textbook is CAPS approved and will equip you with all the content and skills you need for Economics Grade 12.
A timeless coming-of-age tale of heartbreak and triumph set in South Africa at the dawn of apartheid. Persomi is young, white, and poor, born the middle child of illiterate sharecroppers on the prosperous Fourie farm in the South African Bushveld. Persomi's world is extraordinarily small. She has never been to the local village and spends her days absorbed in the rhythms of the natural world around her, escaping the brutality and squalor of her family home through the newspapers and books passed down to her from the main house and through her walks in the nearby mountains. Persomi's close relationship with her older brother Gerbrand and her fragile friendship with Boelie Fourie-heir to the Fourie farm and fortune-are her lifeline and her only connection to the outside world. When Gerbrand leaves the farm to fight on the side of the Anglos in WWII and Boelie joins an underground network of Boer nationalists, Persomi's isolated world is blown wide open. But as her very small world falls apart, bigger dreams open to her-dreams of an education, a profession, a native country that values justice and equality, and of love. As Persomi navigates the changing landscape around her-the tragedies of war and the devastating racial strife of her homeland-she finally discovers who she truly is, where she belongs, and why her life-and every life-matters. The English language publication of Child of the River solidifies Irma Joubert as a unique and powerful voice in historical fiction. "Filled with lessons of grace and love, Child of the River is a story that reminds us all to hold steady through life's most fragile hours." -Julie Cantrell, New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author of Perennials
In die paar dae voor Kersfees neem Hendrik en Amalia se lewe ’n onverwagse wending, iets waarvoor hulle nooit voorsiening gemaak het nie. Maar wat vir hulle ’n nuwe era in hulle verhouding sou kon wees, word verdonker deur ’n verskriklike voorval waarvoor Hendrik in hegtenis geneem word. Nog Amalia, ’n staatsaanklaer op Witteberg, nog Hendrik se knap prokureur kan verhoed dat hy opgesluit word – deels vir sy eie veiligheid, deels omdat ’n lafhartige speurder sy mag misbruik. Wat voorbereiding vir ’n heugelike gebeurtenis en Kersfees moes word, word dae waarin Hendrik intiem met die binnekant van ’n sel en die se bewoners kennis maak. Daar word van moord gepraat op die taxibaas se seun wat deur ’n dwaalkoeel getref word en dis die taxibaas se woord teen Hendrik s’n. Boonop leef die grensoorlog steeds in Hendrik se gedagtes; die nagmerrie toe hy ’n makker wat deur die Kubane gevange geneem is, gaan red het. Dekades later buk ’n Kubaanse dokter oor hom in ’n hospitaal. En as Hendrik gemeen het dat Amalia veilig is, het hy ’n fout gemaak …

Like so many of her generation, Lwando Xaso came of age alongside the beginnings and growth of South Africa’s constitutional democracy. Her journey into adulthood was a radically different one from that of earlier generations, marked by hope that changing perceptions would usher in a new and free society. Made in South Africa – A Black Woman’s Stories of Rage, Resistance and Progress is a vibrant collection of essays in which Lwando examines with incisive clarity some of the events that have shaped her experience of South Africa – a country with huge potential but weighed down by persistent racism and inequality, cultural appropriation, sexism and corruption, all legacies of a complicated history. As a young lawyer intent on climbing the corporate ladder, Lwando’s life’s direction was changed by a personal experience of the oppressive capacity of a supposedly democratic government when it unjustly fired a close family friend and mentor from a senior government position. She found herself on his legal team and the turmoil the case created within her led her to further her studies in constitutional law, and to pick up her pen and share with a wider audience her views of what was happening in her beloved country. Her outlook was further shaped by her experience of clerking at the Constitutional Court for Justice Edwin Cameron, which deepened her respect for the South African Constitution, and what it really means for a resilient people to strive continually to live up to its moral and legal standards. Lwando’s writing reflects her unflinching resolve to live according to the precepts of our groundbreaking Constitution and offers a challenge to all South Africans to believe in and achieve ‘the improbable’.
An invaluable resource for any manager or professional, this book offers a collection of proven, practical methods for simplifying any problem and making faster, better decisions every time. |
