Om terug te dink aan sy lewe is soos om ’n boek te lees waarvan daar bladsye uitgeskeur is. Hy onthou party hoofstukke so helder soos vandag, ander so vaag soos drome.

Stories oor sy kleintyd, dié kom van oral af – van sy ma en pa, Safira, ander grootmense en sy boetie, Stephan. Hierdie stories neem hy met ’n knippie sout, glo hy ter wille van die vertellers. Hy is oor die algemeen inskiklik van geaardheid, iemand wat sy kleinkinders ’n people pleaser sou noem. Wat van Afrikaans gaan word, weet hy nie.

Hy en Stephan, het in ’n pastorie grootgeword. Dis ook waar Andreas veronderstel was om die eerste lewenslig te aanskou, op die dubbelbed in die hoofslaapkamer waar hy, soos hy dit later uitgewerk het, waarskynlik ook verwek is. Suster Lenie Joubert, die gemeente se vroedvrou en hul huisdokter, dokter Morrie Jacobs, sou Louisa kom bystaan. Dit sou ’n tuisgeboorte wees, ’n private aangeleentheid in die veiligheid van haar eie huis. Van kleintyd af word Andreas nie net geestelik getoets nie, maar ook fisiek. Sy eie behoeftes en begeertes kry soms die oorhand. Byna te laat besef hy dat hy op ander dinge as geloof gereken het.

Eers dan leer hy om hom geheel en al te onderwerp aan die wil van die Here. Geloof soos ’n mosterdsaadjie, sê Jesus, is al wat jy nodig het.

It wasn’t long ago when someone in Silicon Valley coined the term ‘The Three Comma Club’ to describe that small group of individuals whose net worth is one billion dollars or more. According to Forbes’ World’s Billionaires List for 2025, there are around 3 000 dollar billionaires in the world.

The wealth, power and influence wielded by these moneymakers and money spenders is gargantuan. For instance, the top ten richest individuals have a combined net worth exceeding $2 trillion. Billionaires make up approximately 0.000034% of the world’s population. That’s about one in every 3 million people.

This book takes a deep dive into the world of billionaires, blending humour, insight, and a touch of ‘eat the rich’ irreverence to examine the rise and occasional downfall of the mega-mega-rich.

“Aan die einde van 12 weke se basiese opleiding moes al hierdie mans weet hoe om te skiet en baie moes bereid wees om dood te skiet.”

Anelia Heese hervertel die rou en soms skokkende stories van Suid-Afrikaanse mans wat in die 1970’s en 1980’s verplig is om weermagdiens te doen. In Diensplig praat van dié mans, baie van hulle vir die eerste keer, openhartig oor hul ervaringe. Sy gesels met die bekroonde joernalis Murray La Vita, die skrywer Deon Lamprecht, genl.maj. Roland de Vries en talle ander oor hulle ondervindings in die weermag.

Die meeste dienspligtiges was eintlik maar nog seuns toe hulle gedwing is om aan te tree en hul hare onseremonieel afgeskeer is. Hulle praat hier eerlik oor onder meer die eerste kontak, die eerste keer toe iemand ’n makker verloor het, hoe sommige “terrie-ore” versamel het, oor patrollies in die townships, en die interne stryd wat dikwels agterna gevolg het.

Anelia vra soms ongemaklike vrae om haarself en ander — veral jonger — Suid-Afrikaners te help sin maak van diensplig en die nadraai daarvan. Soos wie nou eintlik die vyand was, en wat dit beteken om jou land te dien . . .

Four decades ago, The Solution, a best-seller co-authored by Leon Louw, helped shape South Africa’s political settlement and left an indelible imprint on its Constitution. Today, the country finds itself at an economic impasse once more – and Louw’s ideas feel more urgent than ever.

From his early battles against apartheid-era property laws to his international advocacy for economic freedom, this book explores what worked, what didn’t, and what still might. With clarity and courage, Cohen distills Louw’s enduring belief: that prosperity and justice flow from empowering people, not politicians.

For policymakers, political thinkers, and all who care about South Africa’s future, this is more than a biography – it’s an invitation to think differently. Perhaps, even, to wake the continent’s economic lion from its long slumber.

In this deeply researched and elegantly told account, Tim Cohen – one of South Africa’s most respected and incisive financial journalists – draws on hours of conversations with Louw to capture the man behind the ideas. The result is a rare and revealing portrait of the extraordinary life, philosophy, and influence of a maverick libertarian who championed liberty, enterprise, and accountability when it mattered most.

From the Baillie Gifford Prize-winning and Sunday Times bestselling author of Empire of Pain and Say Nothing comes a riveting story of wealth, violence and deceit at the heart of a glittering city.

In 2019, a London teenager, Zac Brettler, fell to his death from a luxury apartment building on the banks of the Thames. On a desperate quest to understand how their son had died, his grieving parents made a terrible discovery: Zac had been leading a fantasy life, posing as the son of a wealthy Russian oligarch.

Patrick Radden Keefe follows Zac’s parents on a dark journey to find out what brought him to the balcony that night – and how a teenager’s life of make-believe drew him into the city’s terrifying underworld.

In this "handbook for disruptors", The Geek Way reveals a new way to get big things done. It will change the way you think about work, teams, projects, and culture, and give you the insight and tools you need to harness our human superpowers of learning and cooperation.

What is “being geeky?” It’s being a perennially curious person, one who's not afraid to tackle hard problems and embrace unconventional solutions. McAfee shows how the geeks have created a new culture based around four norms: science, ownership, speed, and openness. The geek way seems odd at first. It's not deferential to experts, fond of planning and process, afraid of mistakes, or obsessed with "winning." But it explains everything from why Montessori babies turn out to be creative tinkerers to how newcomers are disrupting industry after industry (and still just getting started).

When all four norms are in place, a culture emerges that is freewheeling, fast-moving, egalitarian, evidence-driven, argumentative, and autonomous. Why does the geek way work so much better? McAfee provides an original answer: because it taps into humanity's superpower, which is our ability to cooperate intensely and learn rapidly. By providing insights from the young discipline of cultural evolution, McAfee shows that when we come together under the right conditions, we quickly figure out how to build reusable spaceships and self-correcting organizations. Under the wrong conditions, though, we create bureaucracy, chronic delays, cultures of silence, and the other classic dysfunctions of the Industrial Era.

Mixing cutting-edge science, history, analysis, and stories that show the geek way in action, McAfee offers a new way to see the world and empowering tools for seizing the big opportunities of today and tomorrow.

The Metropolitan Police have an unsolvable problem: 'Lachy' Wilson is a ruthless and obscenely rich British drug lord who has bought off dozens of their officers. Thanks to these informants, no one can lay a glove on Wilson and he is considered 'untouchable'.

Wilson is dreaming of one last, game-changing shipment of heroin into the UK. The Met turn to the outside for help. Jonas Merrick is an MI5 officer, unspectacular in his own right but spectacular in the success he's had in dangerous counter terrorist operations. Can he thwart the drugs plot?

Jonas has an ace in the hole: Kenny 'Chopper' Harris is an ex-paratrooper and soon to be ex-member of the Flying Squad, looking for a new home, new loyalties. Jonas recruits him to get close to Wilson's Achilles's heel: Julie Wilson is the heir apparent to the family drugs empire and Lachy's go-between. Julie, like Chopper, is a lost soul - she dreams of life outside her father's brutal orbit. Her fate is about to change at their first meeting. A bond is formed, a resolution is made: Chopper will get her free of her family, if she'll betray her mission.

Soon their desperate game of deception begins - a game which will inevitably end in a bloody denouement.

From No. 1 New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn and television pioneer Shonda Rhimes comes a powerful and romantic novel of Bridgerton's Queen Charlotte and King George III's great love story and how it sparked a societal shift, inspired by the original series Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, created by Shondaland for Netflix.

In 1761, on a sunny day in September, a King and Queen met for the very first time. They were married within hours. Born a German Princess, Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz was beautiful, headstrong, and fiercely intelligent . . . not precisely the attributes the British Court had been seeking in a spouse for the young King George III.

But her fire and independence were exactly what she needed, because George had secrets . . . secrets with the potential to shake the very foundations of the monarchy.

Thrust into her new role as a royal, Charlotte must learn to navigate the intricate politics of the court . . . all the while guarding her heart, because she is falling in love with the King, even as he pushes her away. Above all she must learn to rule, and to understand that she has been given the power to remake society. She must fight - for herself, for her husband, and for all her new subjects who look to her for guidance and grace. For she will never be just Charlotte again. She must instead fulfil her destiny . . . as Queen.

The kramats, a circle of Sufi saints, are dotted around the Peninsula and the Overberg. They are torch-bearers of Cape Muslim history. These are figures around whom people gathered during times of slavery and hardship for inspiration.

Exiled from the Indonesian archipelago to the Cape of Good Hope for resisting the Dutch in the 17th and 18th centuries, these pioneers carried the flag of Islam to the tip of Africa. They did this when the Statute of India, on the pain of death, forbade the practice of their religion. Hiding in the mountains, they ministered to their followers far away from the eyes of Dutch East India officials. After religious freedom was declared in 1804, other luminaries from the Muslim world would land on our shores.

Following in the footsteps of Dr Achmat Davids and Shaykh Yusuf da Costa, Shafiq Morton has excavated the history of these saintly figures. This is the first time that a comprehensive book has been written on the kramats, such a vital part of the Cape’s history.

From the Pulitzer Prize winner and bestselling author of Ghost Wars, this is the inside story of America's long and ruinous relationship with Saddam Hussein.

The Achilles Trap masterfully untangles the people, ploys of power and geopolitics that led to America's disastrous war with Iraq and, for the first time, details America's fundamental miscalculations during its ruinous, decades-long relationship with Saddam Hussein.

Beginning with Saddam's rise to power in 1979 and the birth of Iraq's secret nuclear weapons programme, Steve Coll traces Saddam's motives through understanding his inner circle. He brings to life the diplomats, scientists, family members and generals who had no choice but to defer to their leader - a leader directly responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, as well as the torture or imprisonment of many more. This was a man whose reasoning was impossible to reduce to a simple explanation, and the CIA and successive presidential administrations failed to grasp critical nuances in his paranoia, resentments and inconsistencies - even when the stakes were incredibly high.

Using unpublished and underreported sources, interviews with surviving participants, and Saddam's own transcripts and audio files, The Achilles Trap is a remarkable picture of a dictator who was convinced the world was out to get him and acted accordingly. A work of great historical significance, it is the definitive account of how corruptions of power, lies of diplomacy and vanity - on both sides - led to avoidable errors of statecraft: ones that would enact immeasurable human suffering and forever change our political landscape.

The book also explains the importance of effecting an arrest to facilitate the gathering of evidence from a suspect (such as fingerprints and DNA), and how the conduct of the enforcement officer may affect investigations.

Evidential Aspects of Law Enforcement explains technical legal terms in a straightforward and practical way, and contains the information that all law enforcement officers require to perform their duties effectively.

For fans of Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Miranda July comes a whip-smart, irresistible novel about a college senior who has 48 hours to sell her recently deceased mothers surprise stash of rare pills, or suffer the consequences.

Arvy Keening is just trying to get through the week. Tantalizingly close to leaving her college years at Westheimer University behind, all she has to do is pass her finals, pack up her life, and ship off to San Francisco for a prestigious Big Pharma internship. The problem? Arvy just found 200 hits of Molly in her dead mother's closet. And when two drug dealers come to collect what they are owed, they reveal that the pills are not Molly, but Monas, a rare pharmaceutical that induces intense orgasms. The dealers give Arvy an ultimatum: Sell 200 Monas in 48 hours or die.

To aid in her seemingly impossible quest, Arvy recruits Wolf, Westheimer's resident drug dealer who also happens to be infuriatingly charming and distractingly sexy. In a race against the clock, Arvy and Wolf barrel through their college town, leaving a series of erotic shenanigans in their wake; appealing to horny co-eds, lonely barflies, and a mysterious sorority whose sisters have their own ideas for Mona's potential uses. But if Mona has a knack for unleashing visceral reactions in the body, what will it unlock in Arvy, who has been repressing grief over her mother's death for weeks?

Unashamedly brash, bold, and blistering, 200 Monas is a truly one-of-a-kind read, a playful and honest examination of sexuality and grief, and a sharp, searing love letter on how to release all that's inside you.
