As Spud Milton continues his diabolical stagger through adolescence, he learns one of life’s most important lessons: when dealing with women and cretins, nothing is ever quite as it seems.

‘I’m practically a man in most areas,’ writes Spud confidently on his sixteenth birthday. The year is 1992 and, as always in South Africa, radical change is in the air. The country may be on the bumpy road to an uncomfortable redemption, but Spud Milton is hoping for a smooth ride as he returns to boarding school as a senior, Instead, he discovers that his vindictive arch enemy is back to taunt him and that a garrulous Malawian has taken residence in his dormitory, along with the regular inmates and misfits he calls friends.

Spud’s world has never seemed less certain; he attempts to master Shakespeare, wrestles constantly with God and the power of negative thinking, and develops an aversion to fried fish after a shocking discovery about his grandmother, Wombat.

In Julie 2009 het Manser ‘n volgende wêreldrekord gestel toe hy die eerste persoon was wat die wêreld se vierde grootste eiland, Madagaskar, per kajak omseil het - ook alleen en sonder hulp. Hierdie kolossale reis van 5000 km, wat hom elf maande geneem het, was volgens hom aansienlik meer veeleisend, beide fisies en geestelik. Hy moes uiterste eensaamheid oorwin terwyl hy verraderlike toestande verduur het, soos donderende golwe, siklone en ‘n skroeiende son wat, gekombineer met soutwater, hom amper lewendig gepekel het. Tydens sy omseiling het hy baie onvergeetlike noue ontmoetings met Madagaskar se seelewe gehad – boggelrugwalvisse wat meters van sy kajak af deur die oppervlak gebreek het, reuse-leerskilpaaie wat langs hom geswem het, en sy boot wat deur ‘n haai gestamp is. Riaan het in ‘n tydperk van uiterste politieke onrus in Madagaskar rondgereis en hy het 5 keer in die tronk beland, die laaste keer drie nagte op vermoede dat hy huursoldaataktiwiteite uitgevoer het. In April 2010 is Manser se pogings beloon met sy tweede toekenning, “Out There Adventurer of the Year 2009�. “Around Madagascar on my Kayak�, die boek waarin hy van sy wonderlike prestasie vertel, het ook lof ontvang.

While not much is known about the life and legacy of Anna de Koning, this children’s book aims to make her a household name and have her story taught at schools – of how an enslaved child arrived in the Cape Colony from Bengal and would remarkably become one of the wealthiest and most influential women of her time.

Anna lived in a village surrounded by a thick rainforest filled with striped tigers that roared at night. Her mother had grown up in that village, and she would have too until strangers came and sold her family to the captain of a big ship with large white sails. When the ship finally arrived at the shores of the Cape of Good Hope, Anna’s life changed, and she was no longer free.

Woman of Freedom brings to life the historically accurate journey of a young enslaved girl who became one of the wealthiest and most respected women in the early Cape Colony.
