Corruption cost taxpayers around R1.5 trillion during Jacob Zuma’s spell as president of South Africa. Despite attempts by the police, the courts and the Public Protector to stem the rising tide of graft in South Africa, several politicians were rewarded with high office after stealing the aspirations of millions of people.

Fred Daniel, one citizen among many targeted by predator politicians, stood up against the scourge. The retaliation he faced after attempts by corrupt politicians to grab his nature reserve in Mpumalanga included vandalism, arson, smears and death threats. His nemesis is Deputy President D.D. Mabuza, who presided over several departments in the province that were wrecked by graft before he ascended to the position of the second most powerful politician in the country. Fred has won more than twenty cases over the past fifteen years in magistrates' and high courts where his claims of corruption-related harassment were found credible. The North Gauteng High Court is hearing his damages claim against Mabuza, government departments and officials amounting to more than R1 billion. It stems from Fred’s exposure of fraudulent land scams allegedly orchestrated by Mabuza.

At great personal cost, Fred and his family stood up to corruption. They endured the loss of a livelihood and their home – and the fear that follows when the government places a target on the back of a citizen blowing the whistle on its misdeeds. Fred will not back down. For him, failure is not an option.

Basetsana Kumalo shot to fame as a fresh-faced Miss South Africa in 1994 and soon became the face of South Africa’s new democracy. As the first black presenter of the glamorous lifestyle TV show Top Billing, she travelled the world and interviewed superstars like Oprah Winfrey, Michael Jackson, Jon Bon Jovi, Will Smith, the Bee Gees, Gloria Estefan and Luther Vandross. After a successful career in television, Bassie’s drive and ambition took her into the world of business. The street savvy that her entrepreneurial mother gave her stood her in good stead as she built a media empire. When she married the handsome businessman Romeo Kumalo in a fairytale wedding, they became South Africa’s sweethearts and ‘it’ couple.

Bassie: My Journey Of Hope recounts the stories of Bassie’s life as a celebrity, including her relationships with mentors like Nelson Mandela, Winnie Madikizela- Mandela and Graça Machel. She also shares the secrets of her success and all the lessons she’s learnt along the way, and opens up about the pressures of her high-profile marriage to Romeo, their heartbreaking struggle to have a family, and how they made sure that their loving and respectful union has lasted two decades.

Bassie also talks frankly about the domestic abuse she suffered at the hands of boxer Dingaan Thobela and the legal battles she had to fight to protect her name and her brand over the years. She gives her account of the stalker who harassed her for decades, and the nonexistent ‘sex-tape’ allegation that rocked her family and career, leading to painful experiences of cyber-bullying. It is an intimate, inspiring and entertaining account of a remarkable life.

This is the definitive book about the biggest changes in education, schooling and teaching since the school classroom was invented almost 300 years ago. The vision and power of the original "Learning Revolution" remains, but the authors now address current developments such as: how instant information and interactive technology are finally forcing a complete rethink of everything we've ever believed about education; how new interlocking networks are creating dramatic new models for learning; and how new teaching methods are revolutionizing schooling in pockets around the world. Dryden, the award-winning television and radio talk show host, is just completing a series of television programmes on new methods of learning and Vos is putting the finishing touches to a seven-year doctoral research project into the same subject. The combined power of these two dynamic authors is highly compelling!

In a moment of weakness, lawyer Ian Brand sends out a tweet; it changes his life irrevocably. Thuli Khumalo, Fallist leader on a campus that stinks of petrol and teargas, must choose between betraying her father and forsaking her principles. Snaar Windvogel, once the little violin girl of Matjiesfontein, is now in transition under the knife of Piekenier Leqluerck, plastic surgeon and fossa impresario.

These colourful characters populate a carnivalesque landscape where the only certainty is that the Mother City’s mysterious crossbow killer will strike again . . . while Twitter gangs spread suspicion, truck drivers are attacked on national roads, and Number One meets with gang leaders – all under the watchful eye of the Institute for Encouragement in a nameless city in China.

An astonishing novel documenting the turbulent time in which we live, where issues such as privacy and identity, fake news and fact, and race and ethnicity inflame passions.

Translated by Henrietta RoseInnes.

Lien is die oudste kind in ’n disfunksionele huishouding, waar die status van die gesin van welgesteld tot armblankes verander het weens die misbruik van trustfondse deur haar prokureurspa, nou ’n gevangene, en haar ma weens haar onvermoë om die situasie te verwerk, ’n alkoholis word. Al wat oorbly van die glans van ’n vroeë lewe is ’n woordlose video met grepe uit gelukkige tye saam. Die besorgheid van ’n buurtannie help in die donkerste ure van die gesin, terwyl dit nodig word vir Lien om uit te spring om brood op die tafel te sit.

Vir haar en haar jonger broer, Braam, oor wie sy besorg is, is daar aanpassingsprobleme by die nuwe skool, maar deur veral twee vriende, Wouter en Mimi, elk met hulle eie verwondheid, herwin Lien vir haar ’n eie plek. Sy doen naskool loswerkies vir ’n inkomste, veral om die aand kos op die tafel te kry en te spaar vir wanneer sy eendag oorsee kan gaan. Die behoeftes van die gesin kan egter nie alleen deur die wisselvallige inkomste aangespreek word nie.

Terwyl haar ma se alkoholisme tot tragiese dieptes verval, begin sy in ’n vermomming op ’n straathoek bedel, waar sy randkarakters soos Roos en Tibbey leer ken en sy geleidelik hulle vertroue en vriendskap wen. Ondanks uitdagende omstandighede slaag sy daarin om ’n verantwoordelikheidsin te kweek wat hulle posisie as gesin ook geleidelik positief beinvloed. Die wyse waarop sy op haar gesins- en persoonlike uitdagings reageer, help haar om te groei, haar roeping te vind en vrede te maak met haar verlede.

Vanaf die aangrypende openingstoneel word die aandag geboei met stilistiese vernuf, oortuigende karakterisering en geloofwaardige ruimte-beelding. Die skrywer het ’n oorspronklike aanslag wat gereflekteer word in die oorspronklike taalgebruik en skerp, vermaaklike dialoog. Respek vir die woord staan sentraal in hierdie manuskrip.

Die gang van gebeure word so gestruktureer dat die leser meegevoer word en dit moeilik vind om die manuskrip neer te sit. Die narratief word effektief afgewissel met beskrywings van klanklose ou video-grepe. ’n Uitgebreide verwysingsraamwerk van musiek en ander motiewe word deurgaans gehandhaaf en uitgebou – so word die verhaal effektief gelaai met sekondêre betekenislae.

Hierdie verhaal spreek ook van ’n maatskaplike gewete wat dit vierkantig plaas binne die konteks van ons sosio-politieke landskap. Dit is ’n verhaal wat die leser subtiel uitdaag om verantwoordelikheid te neem vir sy eie geluk en om die goeie in mense en situasies raak te sien, wat werklik ’n vars briesie is.

Zahra hugs her cherished teddy bear and prays that Ramadan will bring her a longed-for sister. When her bear subsequently goes missing, Zahra finds herself grappling with intense feelings of loss.

In die laaste boek in die gewilde trilogie begin Lehandi se matriekjaar slegter as ’n rugbywedstryd wat uitgereen het. Haar ma is verloof en Prissie die Vissie is saam met haar strooimeisie. En dit terwyl Lehandi alweer single is. Boonop het die nerd Peyton van vakansie af teruggekom met spiere en kontaklense. En alles verander skielik handomkeer, 180 grade in die verkeerde rigting, wanneer haar vorige BFF Reqita weer terugstap in haar lewe in.

When Emily meets enigmatic and dazzling actress Tamsin, her life changes. Drawn into Tamsin's world of Soho living, boozy dinners, and cocktails at impossibly expensive bars, Emily's life shifts from black and white to technicolour and the two women become inseparable.

Tamsin is the friend Emily has always longed for; beautiful, fun, intelligent and mysterious and soon Emily is neglecting her previous life - her work assisting vulnerable women, her old friend Lucy - to bask in her glow. But when a bombshell news article about a decades-old sexual assault case breaks, Emily realises that Tamsin has been hiding a secret about her own past. A secret that threatens to unravel everything . . .

Young Women is a razor sharp novel that slices to the heart of our most important relationships, and asks how complicit we all are in this world built for men.

Confused and overwhelmed by healthy eating advice? What exactly do we need from our food?

Eating healthily is easy, right? Just make sure you have your five-a-day (or is it eight-a-day now?) when it comes to fruit and veg. Eat plenty of fibre (but what exactly is it, and how much of it do I need?). Cut down on meat (which types and by how much?), eat more fish (only sustainable, or is farmed OK?), ensure you're getting enough of the right types of vitamins and minerals. Oh, and and don't forget prebiotics and probiotics for gut health . . .

We are bombarded on a daily basis by too much confusing (and often misleading) information about what it is that we should be eating to keep ourselves healthy. It's easy to ignore it all and hope for the best, but now you don't have to . . .

In Supercharge Your Diet, food and lifestyle writer Sam Rice is here to demystify and simplify nutrition by showing you ten practical and easy-to-understand ways to pack your daily diet full of powerful goodness.

A ground-breaking and deeply moving report from the front lines of the battle to protect a woman's right to abortion.

On Friday 24 June 2022, women's rights suffered an extraordinary and unprecedented blow. Five US Supreme Court justices made a decision that will impact millions of lives for years to come. In this gripping blend of reportage and history, journalist Becca Andrews tells the story how we have arrived at this devastating turning point.

NO CHOICE introduces the origin of abortion and its practice in global cultures, before focusing its gaze on the battle that has been waged for the past century across America, shining a light on the eerie ways in which life before Roe will be mirrored in life after. The wealthy and privileged will still have access, low-income people will suffer disproportionately, and pregnancy will be heavily policed.

Taking us to the frontlines - to clinics, courtrooms, local communities, charities - Andrews tells the deeply moving stories of those who have had abortions, and those who have fought - and are fighting - for the right to abortion. There is a glimmer of faint hope, though. As the battle moves to state legislatures around the country, the book profiles the people who are doing ground-breaking, inspiring work to ensure safe, legal access to this fundamental part of healthcare.

The emigration debate is as old as our democracy itself.

When the “new South Africa” dawned in 1994, many people left the country out of fear for what majority rule would hold. More still left in the years that followed to seek a better life elsewhere, and communities of expats can be found all over the world in places such as Canada, England and Australia. Today, 25 years after the dawn of democracy, as optimism about the country's future ebbs and flows, new impetus has been given to the emigration debate. This time around, it is not only being discussed in reactionary circles, but around dinner tables of all creeds as many people leave for better education, job opportunities and safety. With the reality of nine wasted years tugging at our wallets and future prospects, and the allure of a global economy pulling strong, more and more people are asking, “Should I go?”

In Should we go? more than 20 of South Africa's foremost thought leaders such as Jonathan Jansen, Mandy Wiener, Phumzile van Damme and Ferial Haffajee grapple with this question. It is an attempt to find some answers that will give insight to and challenge every person who is thinking of leaving, has already left, or has decided to stay so that they may thrive as South Africans wherever they are.

Nadine Gordimer's subtle and detailed study of the forces and relationships seething in the South Africa of the day.

Mehring is rich. He has all the privileges and possessions that South Africa has to offer, but his possessions refuse to remain objects. His wife, son and mistress leave him; his foreman and workers become increasingly indifferent to his stewardship; even the land rises up, as drought, then flood, destroy his farm. As the upheaval in Mehring's world increasingly resembles that in the country as a whole, it becomes clear that only a seismic shift in ideas and concrete action can avert annihilation.
