Veteran wildlife safari guide Garth Thompson has produced the ultimate wildlife guide, The Guide’s Guide to Guiding. Not only is the book aimed at would-be guides, but at current guides and all who have a love and appreciation for the great outdoors – and a desire to share this passion with others. Wildlife guiding in Africa’s extraordinarily varied and countless parks and safari areas is fast becoming a much sought-after occupation.

Nearly thirty years of active guiding throughout Africa, with assorted clients from all over the world, allows Garth Thompson to pass on his knowledge and, importantly, the knowledge that he gained from his years in the bush. The text is enhanced by the artful cartoons of Dov Fedler, which add light-hearted humour, another skill to be added to the guide’s backpack!

In a relaxed style, Thompson illustrates the principles of guiding with real-life stories. Throughout the book he concentrates on the dreams, expectations and aspirations that the client, guest and tourist has of a safari in whichever African country they choose to visit. Often a once-in-a-lifetime experience for the visitor, this book is more than aid for guides, it is essential and enriching – for all involved!

This book contains alphabetically listed names of South African cities and towns, as well as most villages and certain settlements and townships where information was available.

More than 900 places are included in what is an informative and educational look at place names, including the year they were established, origins, previous names and alternative names. Also included are interesting historical facts and reasons to visit, as well as contact details (website or phone number).

The book is a wonderful journey through South Africa. Ann Gadd particularly enjoyed researching the smaller villages and places. There is a wide variety of attractions across the places, covering sporting interests, places to eat, historical interest, scenic spots, the longest, the tallest, the coldest and much more. Ann connected with local inhabitants or officials to get their take on the naming of their town or historical interests. All this wonderful (and sometimes whacky) information is condensed to give you a book that sums up the very core of each place.

Information includes:

• Province
• Year established
• Year of municipal / borough status
• Origin of town name
• Previous name
• Preferred name
• Alternative name
• Town theme (type of industry)
• Historic facts (important events or interesting feature of the town)
• Contact details (website or phone)

Gedigte van Jan Wagner (gebore 1971), die veel bekroonde en by die leserspubliek waarskynlik die gewildste hedendaagse Duitse digter, verskyn nou vir die eerste keer in Afrikaanse vertaling.

Uniek in Afrikaans bevat hierdie enkele bundel vaste digvorms soos die sonnet, kwatryngedig, Sapfiese strofe, sestina, tersine, villanelle, haikoe en rondeel, maar ook die vrye vers en prosagedig.

Uniek is ook dat die Afrikaanse vertalings Wagner se omvangryke en speelse gebruik van tradisionele rymvorme, maar ook ongewone rymvorme soos die skuinsrym, pararym en anagramrym weergee.

South Africa has an established, vibrant and highly politicized contemporary art scene that is often in dialogue with the deep and recent past. South African Art explores this relationship between past and present, showing contemporary and historic art objects from the earliest human artistic tendencies three million years ago to 20th-century apartheid Resistance Art and the art of post-apartheid transformation. South African Art begins with the first artistic stirrings of our earliest ancestors and the first African kingdoms through to the creation of 3D figurative art and specialised artisans. It then considers the influence of Dutch, British, Malay, Chinese and Indian settlers from the 16th century onwards and the ensuing conflicts, followed by a focus on the British colonial period and the European obsession with the exotic and the objectification of African bodies. A chapter on segregation after the Union of South Africa in 1910 and Resistance Art during the apartheid era of c.1970 to 1989 is followed by a final section looking at South Africa's transformation from an apartheid state to the `Rainbow Nation', and the country's current artistic optimism.

This book is a totally fresh approach to observing birds in southern Africa. It affords you the opportunity to gather previously inaccessible and indecipherable information in the form of tracks and signs left behind by our avifauna. The book explores the unique details of the spoor, or tracks, of many species of birds. This is done in multiple ways including by observing their droppings, examining their feeding behaviour as well as their general nesting structures.

It’s remarkable how tracks and signs in nature help you to enrich your knowledge of bird species, providing knowledge as straightforward as the shape of the individual nests of our various species of weaver, or the ability to recognise and understand the role of a drum-site in the life of a bearded woodpecker, or even being able to see the subtle signs of a cardinal woodpecker on the various acacia pods which host its larval food.

Louis Liebenberg has generously provided some sketches of spoor he has made for his own publications, making these clear schematics available to assist with identification. Skulls, feathers, beaks and egg shells are also occasionally encountered, and a few examples of these will be included, as they also tell a story of a bird which has passed by. This approach to southern Africa’s birdlife will add tremendously to how we experience our wonderful avifauna.

n Versameling stories oor rugby, die lewe en allerhande ander dinge wat jou sal laat lag, ontroer en opkikker, deur een van Suid-Afrika se ware rugbylegendes… Theuns Stofberg se glorieryke rugbyloopbaan het van 1976 tot 1985 geduur, en hy word in die algemeen beskou as een van die grootste Springbokke ooit. As die 36ste Springbokkaptein – een van slegs 56 spelers wat die eer kon he – was hy taai en kompromisloos op die veld, maar langs die kantlyn was hy ’n ware heer en uitstekende storieverteller – soos bewys word deur die anekdotes wat byeengebring is in hierdie boek. In Stories van die kantlyn neem hy lesers tot agter die skerms, na sy kinderdae as skoolseun-rugbyspeler, tot die berugte meelbom-toer in Nieu-Seeland in 1981, en ook sy Curriebeker-oorwinnings vir drie provinsies – tot vandag toe ’n ongeewenaarde prestasie. Hy skryf ook oor hoe dit was om saam met legendes soos Morne du Plessis, Gerrie Germishuys, Schalk Burger snr. en Gysie Pienaar te speel, hy roep bewonderaars se vreemde en dikwels fleurige gedrag in herinnering en gee lesers ’n fassinerende blik op die amateurdae van rugby in Suid-Afrika. Hy vertel in sy unieke, onnabootsbare styl van sy persoonlike stryd met ’n spraakgebrek en gesondheidsprobleme, en hoe hy ’n tragedie in die familie hanteer het. Elke Suid-Afrikaanse rugbyliefhebber sal hierdie boek, wat soms diep persoonlik, soms amusant en partymaal nostalgies is, koester en geniet.

Cattle, property and wildlife adventures beat the drum in this African roller-coaster of adrenaline, danger and envy. From the first chant to the last lot, the stage is set for a fast-paced narrative full of action, power-plays and latent deception.

Puff Adders In The Panicum is an anthology of short, true vignettes describing Andrew Hutchinson's experiences as an auctioneer.

The narratives are mostly set in the Albany area, around Grahamstown, known as “Settler Country”, as this was where the British settled in the 1800s. The communities in this area comprise hard-working, unpretentious folk, which is reflected in the writer’s stories about his time as an auctioneer both in this area and elsewhere. His stories are unembellished and most interesting. As the narrator, Andrew Hutchinson, successfully gives the reader insight into the areas in which he worked and he aptly reflects the interesting characters and strange foibles of the people whom he met as an auctioneer.

His writing is humorous and exposes the appearance of “offerings of sweet success and the promise of prosperity” with the reality of “puff adders” ready to strike. Andrew’s understanding of the people with whom he did business and his “business partners” is evident in his writing. Should the reader not be of South African origin, the glossary of words and expressions included will clarify the references made.

The stories are enjoyable and easy to read, and provide an understanding and awareness of the challenges and triumphs faced by auctioneers, as well as an insight into the world of the people with whom he dealt.

Daar is ook 20 nuwe stories, oor die pandemie en oor rugby. Wat al die stories in gemeen het, is die meelewendheid en waardering vir gewone mense wat Dana se werk kenmerk, saam met sy soms skokkende eerlike insigte in sy eie psige, as kind van Suid­Afrika. Soos Sarie se resensent opgemerk het: “Hy laat jou met nuwe oë na alledaagse gebeure en mense om jou kyk.”

Following in the footsteps of Jock of the Bushveld, Running Wild is an African story for all ages. It is a tale of resilience, of courage and endurance, a book that will uplift, enrich and warm every lover of the African bush.

The story of Zulu is based on the life of a real stallion that lived on the Mashatu Game Reserve. The versions of the story of Zulu are about as numerous as the people who recount them. The horse and the myth were at times indistinguishable. This account of his life has been stitched together from all those stories. In February 2000, tropical Cyclone Leon-Eline resulted in a storm so severe that the horses of Mashatu broke out of their enclosure and roamed wild and free for days before returning. Zulu was the only one that did not return. He was thought to be lost to the scourges of the Bushveld.

Years pass before Zulu is discovered to be not only alive and well, but running as the lead stallion of a herd of wild zebras. He is recaptured and returned to the safari stables as a much bolder and wiser stallion – knowledge he passes on to the other horses as well as the humans of Limpopo Valley.

AB de Villiers is one of South Africa’s most celebrated sporting heroes. He has captained the national ODI team since June 2011, and has been a member of the national team for 11 years since his debut test as a 20-year-old in December 2004. AB has excelled on the sporting field throughout his life and today he is considered one of the leading batsmen in the world in all forms of the game.

AB: The Autobiography will cover key events and influences that have shaped his life and career, from his childhood and schooling at Afrikaanse Hoër Seunskool (Affies) through to his present successes, experiences and controversies as captain of the ODI team. AB will offer access to the man behind the bat and beneath the helmet, exploring career-defining moments, on-and-off the field events and his relationship with various mentors. The reader will be transported to the backyard of AB’s childhood home where he first learnt to play cricket with his brothers, and will be introduced to colourful characters and sportsmen along the way.

The autobiography will also explore AB’s interests in music and business and how he pursues these alongside his international cricket career.
