In April 2013 a global breaking-news story surfaced on social media and in the world press, and rapidly gathered momentum. A South African man had fallen overboard in the night during a storm in remote Indonesian waters, without anyone else on board realising. Eight hours later a frantic search was underway. The incident caught the world’s attention as readers were instantly transported into the terror of the moment – imagine being left alone, 100 kilometres out to sea in the middle of a storm, watching your friends sail into the distance… Had he been dealt a fraction more bad luck, Brett would have died immediately. According to the experts, he should have died within 10 to 14 hours. But he chose not to die. Instead for 28-and-a-half hours Brett Archibald endured – the ocean, the elements, the creatures of the deep, and his own inner demons. Alone: The Search For Brett Archibald is the incredible but true story of what it takes to defy needle-in-a-haystack odds and survive what should have been certain death. Outdoor savvy, astonishing imagination, mental toughness, a refusal to give up hope and a canny rescuer with an unbelievable background ultimately saw him through. Most of all this is a story of the power of the human spirit that defies rational explanation.

Sara voel veral tuis by ouma Spriet en oom Alles, wat met die helm gebore is. En by ant Korreltjie, wat haar geleidelik leer van patrone uitlê en rokkies maak. Maar die bedreiging wat Piet Boskat inhou, roep die spoke van Sara se verlede op. Kan sy vir haar ’n weg ooptrap om vry te kom van die gevare van die hede én van die verlede? En terselfdertyd die mense beskerm vir wie sy so lief geword het? ’n Aangrypende, meelewende roman deur die skrywer van die hoog aangeskrewe debuut Die kinders van Spookwerwe.

The Democratic Alliance won control of the uMngeni Municipality in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands after the local government elections in 2021. As the only DA-run municipality in KZN, uMngeni provides a template for how local government could work in a post-ANC South Africa. Written by two leaders at the very heart of the project, Saving South Africa reveals the challenges, the triumphs and disasters the new administration has encountered along the way. It is an eye-opening exposé of how cadre deployment has helped to bring the country to its knees. It is a story of incompetent officials, political spies, gunwielding tenderpreneurs, petty theft and grand larceny. And yet, as we follow the authors on their journey, there is always hope for a better future as the corrupt layers of local governance are gradually stripped away, revealing the responsive and caring civil service envisioned by the South African Constitution.
Hierdie boek het Tobi vir drie redes geskryf Eerstens het elke resep net drie bestanddele Tweedens vir die ekonomiese faktor Nie almal kan duur bestanddele bekostig of ses soorte kase in die yskas aanhou nie As plaasseun verstaan hy ook dat almal nie altyd toegang het tot groot winkelsentrums waar elke bestanddeel onder die son beskikbaar is nie Derdens vir tydsbesparing Met dié kortpadresepte hoef jy nie vir ure in die kombuis te staan nie. Tobi beskou homself nie as ‘n chef nie Trouens hy wil nie eers die gesogte titel koskenner voor sy naam skryf nie Omdat ek myself nie as ‘n kosmeester beskou nie koop ek byvoorbeeld sonder om te blik of te bloos klaar voorbereide skilferkorsdeeg En met geblikte kos kan jy soms toor en hoekom het hulle ‘n vrieskas in die eerste plek gemaak as jy nie kos mag vries nie. Tobi glo kook is ‘n manier van ontvlugting waar jy jouself kan uitleef in ‘n kombuis En hier deel hy sy passie deur maklike vinnige en bekostigbare geregte

In the Namibian harbour town of Lüdertiz, a liminal space where desert meets ocean, a terrible history is made intimate and personal when filmmaker Henry van Wyk must confront a childhood tragedy that has moulded his life. Having returned to his birthplace in an attempt to get his career back on track, Henry struggles to complete a documentary he is working on. He whiles away his mornings swimming in a nearby tidal pool on Shark Island, and finds himself increasingly drawn to the small town and its romantic possibilities. But the tranquil land hides a bloody history: Shark Island was once the site of a concentration camp, and a law firm is suing the German government for their role in the genocide of Namibia’s indigenous people. When Henry begins to interview the survivors’ descendants, their testimonies compel him to search the desert for a mass grave. At the Edge of the Desert is a meditation on loss, isolation and love, which asks us to consider the implications of telling someone else’s story.

An urgent new novel, told through many eyes; a journey – terrific and mystical – through despair, memory, and love.
Theories For Decolonial Social Work Practice In South Africa is a local book critically presenting social work theories that are suitable for decolonial and developmental generalist practice in the Global South. The choice of theories included in this book is informed by the lived experiences of South Africans in a multicultural, post-colonial, post-apartheid society. The book sees the goal of social work as effecting transformation and liberation, through the implementation of the developmental approach, and by drawing on decolonial and African concepts. It supports social workers in working toward this goal by stimulating critical reflection and disrupting taken-for-granted beliefs and practices. It guides readers to work with client groups across the micro-mezzo-macro continuum in such a way that they are empowered to develop agency, thereby affirming the basic values of social justice and human dignity. Theories For Decolonial Social Work Practice In South Africa is suitable for social work education and the in-service training of qualified social workers, child and youth care workers and community development practitioners. In addition, the book will be of interest to social work academics and researchers because of its unique decolonial and African approach to Global North theories, and its contribution to the development of Global South theories.

The extraordinarily open and honest autobiography of acclaimed Friends star Matthew Perry. There are few shows in our lifetime that have garnered over a billion views, that have reached a global audience of 220 countries, that elicits an emotional reaction from a theme song, or that defined a period of time more for its viewers. That is simply because there is no show that is more iconic or beloved than Friends. It didn't matter that their apartment was unrealistic by New York City's standards or that they always had enough free time to hang out in a coffee shop, they were our friends, they were us. And over the last twenty-seven years, it has yet to lose its title of the greatest sitcom of all time. Yet, the nostalgia and the truth about their relationships is a story that only Matthew Perry could tell, especially as his addiction soared faster than his career. Heartbreaking and funny, Matthew's honesty is explosive and unrivaled. Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing is an unforgettable memoir that shares the most intimate details of the love he lost, his darkest days, and his greatest friends.
We are so used to hearing that ‘love is blind’, ‘you will know when you meet the one’ and that love should be ‘unconditional’. However, are these idioms the best way to secure successful lasting relationships? Or might we have been given the wrong handbook for love? Dr Sara Nasserzadeh invites us to re-examine our beliefs – mainly shaped by an outdated, static and haphazard Western idea of romantic love – and empowers us with six core principles – Attraction, Respect, Trust, Shared Vision, Compassion, Loving Behaviours – to create and sustain meaningful relationships through a new paradigm of love: The Emergent Love Model. This ground-breaking book introduces and offers an entirely new language and set of skills to begin designing the love that you truly desire.
It is nearly two decades since public schools in South Africa began to admit learners from all cultural and racial backgrounds, and this diversity has resulted in a need for schools to evolve with the changing circumstances as well as to maintain excellence. Teachers are faced daily with the challenge of teaching and managing learners of unfamiliar cultures, languages and backgrounds. Multicultural education introduces various models of multicultural education and provides practical, low-cost classroom strategies which teachers can implement effectively in culturally diverse schools. Multicultural education explores concepts of diversity in society from various theoretical perspectives and discusses the implications of differences and similarities among South African learners. Practical activities at the end of each chapter allow teachers to reflect critically on their own practice, and assist educational leaders to carry out professional development in multicultural education in their schools. Contents include the following:
