WINNER OF THE DINAANE DEBUT FICTION AWARD 2020.

The novel is set over a hundred years ago, and chronicles a tale of migrancy very different to what we have come to expect in African literature. It incorporates myth and ritual, and the stories of extraordinary, ordinary women.

What Scatterlings illustrates is that it is possible to write what you know without limiting yourself to your own actual, physical, lived experience.

Winner of the 2022 Ingrid Jonker Prize.

Jacques Coetzee's debut is a manifesto of personhood, a portrait of a world brought into being by its textures, its movements, and - most importantly - its music.

Easy-flowing and sensuous, this is a collection of the unexpected, the strange, and the suddenly beautiful. Unavoidably and undeniably, Coetzee's is a truly unique perspective

This close media study considers how, squeezed in the moral vice of past and present, Afrikaners look in a mirror that reflects only a beautiful people.

It is an image of upstanding, hard-working citizens. To hold on to that image requires blinkers, sleights of hand and contortion. Above all, it requires an inversion of the liberation narrative in which the wretched of South Africa are the historical oppressors, besieged in their language, their homes, their jobs.

They are the new `grievables', an identity that requires intricate moral manoeuvres, and elision as much of the past as of transformation.

In this book he brings together all the latest science - including a new approach: Time Restricted Eating - to create an easy-to-follow programme.

Brimming with inspiration and compassion, this landmark book revolutionizes our understanding of spirituality, mental health and how to find meaning and purpose in life.

Wanneer die lewe jou omwentel is die wéét binne-in jou.

Vir Mel is haar eie melkweg skitterend. Sy het wat sy wil hê, sy is wie sy wil wees. Sy maak die reëls en sy dra nie maskers nie, want sy is in beheer. Maar skielik maak ’n veel groter ster haar verskyning: Isabella, ʼn ongevraagde toevoeging tot die gesin. En boonop besef Mel dat haar beroepskeuse as mediese suster ʼn ode was aan haar oorlede ma. Susterwees was dalk haar ma se passie, maar is dit regtig hare? Mel maak gereed om uit haar einste, skitterende melkweg te verskiet. Dit is ʼn waagstuk, iets wat só nie haar ding is nie. Die ontdekkingsreis vat haar na ʼn wêreld wat sy nog altyd vermy het, tussen mense wat nie haar dam se ganse is nie.

By die flats van Belhar kom sy tot die besef dat die dam dalk nie hare is nie, maar dat sy tog, teen haar verwagting, inpas by die ganse. Sy ontmoet ’n jeugwerker met tatoes en ʼn skaatsplank wat baanbrekerswerk onder die jeug doen. Sy leer Llewellyn, haar stiefsuster se grootste aanhanger, beter ken en wys hom sy is nie so upstairs soos hy gedink het nie. Mel ontdek haarself en ʼn wêreld buite haar eie reëls.

Moet sy kies tussen wie sy was en wie sy kan wees? Of is daar plek vir Mel die skateboarder, die biker en die kelner in haar melkweg?

Principles of Business Management offers an excellent foundation for students who plan to go into management in the private sector, the NGO sector, or intend on becoming entrepreneurs.

The textbook is aimed at entry level Business Management students at universities and universities of technology and is suitable for both commerce and non-commerce courses. It introduces students to the components of organisational management (planning, organising, leading and controlling) and also introduces the different business functions.

Being rich is not normal: most people never achieve wealth in their lifetime. The very word ‘rich’ describes a state beyond the median, and therein lies an important lesson.

To become rich, your thinking has to be radically different from that of the people around you. Do you know what those specific differences may be?

Business and wealth guru Douglas Kruger strips away the feel-good hype and gets right down to the practical principles. He leads you through the types of thinking that hold individuals, families and businesses in generational cycles of poverty. He explores the dramatically different approaches of the self-made rich and super-rich, showing you which behaviours to begin practising and which behaviours are traitorous to your wealth potential.

Escape poverty. Raise your value. Change the trajectory of your story.

It all begins with the way you think.

Students will find this book invaluable in their study of Criminal Procedure. It introduces readers to the fundamental principles and values underlying this field of law and guides them systematically through the rules of procedure that apply in criminal cases.

From the start of his glittering career in 1992, to his official retirement from all formats of the game in 2013, Shane Warne has long desired to tell his incredible story without compromise. No Spin is that very story. It will offer a compelling intimate voice, true insight and a pitch-side seat to one of cricket’s finest eras, making this one of the ultimate must-have sports autobiographies.

Shane is not only one of the greatest living cricket legends: he is as close as the game has had since Botham to a maverick genius on the field and a true rebel spirit off it, who always gives audiences what they want. Despite being the talismanic thorn in England’s side for nearly two decades of regular Ashes defeats, he was also much loved in the UK where he played cricket for Hampshire. He’s also a much-admired figure in India and South Africa.

Alongside his mesmerising genius as a bowler, Shane has often been a controversial figure, and in this book he's talk with brutal honesty about some of the most challenging times in his life as a player. Honest, thoughtful, fearless and loved by millions, Shane is always his own man and this book is a testament to his brilliant career.

Healthcare delivery in the 21st century has become increasingly complex and demanding . Clinical consultations frequently raise scientific, ethical and legal challenges. While scientific issues may be resolved using an evidence-based medicine (EBM) approach, ethical theory is needed to justify decision making in the face of ethical conflict. Medical ethics, law and human rights: a South African perspective provides the conceptual background and analytic skills necessary to assist with the resolution of ethical dilemmas encountered in the South African healthcare environment. Medical ethics, law and human rights: a South African perspective uses case studies to help the healthcare team to identify and analyse ethical, moral and value concepts, and to apply these to scenarios that they may encounter on a daily basis. Part 1 explores theories and principles of ethics (including African philosophy), introduces medical law, discusses health and human rights, and also makes the transition from theory to practice. Part 2 looks at specific topics in healthcare that raise challenges from an ethics perspective - HIV/AIDS, use of social media, euthanasia, human reproduction, genetics and genomics. In view of the increasing emphasis on ethical considerations in healthcare from the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA), coupled with the rising incidence of litigation in healthcare, Medical ethics, law and human rights: a South African perspective is essential reading for health science, law and philosophy students as well as practising healthcare professionals.

What is it like to be born dirt-poor in South Africa? Clinton Chauke knows, having been raised alongside his two sisters in a remote village bordering the Kruger National Park and a squatter camp outside Pretoria. Clinton is a young village boy when awareness dawns of how poor his family really is: there’s no theft in the village because there’s absolutely nothing to steal. But fire destroys the family hut, and they decide to move back to the city. There he is forced to confront the rough-and-tumble of urban life as a ‘bumpkin’.

He is Venda, whereas most of his classmates speak Zulu or Tswana and he has to face their ridicule while trying to pick up two or more languages as fast as possible. With great self-awareness, Clinton negotiates the pitfalls and lifelines of a young life: crime and drugs, football, religion, friendship, school, circumcision and, ultimately, becoming a man. Throughout it all, he displays determination as well as a self-deprecating humour that will keep you turning the pages till the end.

Clinton’s story is one that will give you hope that even in a sea of poverty there are those that refuse to give up and, ultimately, succeed.
