The Law of Delict in South Africa, third edition, offers an introduction to the general principles of delictual law. Comprehensive in scope, while clear and concise, the text provides a rich contextual framework which supports understanding and application of the principles.
Features:
- The text offers a progressive discussion of the law of delict, analysing the extent to which the common law of delict reflects the diverse, multicultural values of South African society, and proposing a framework for continuing, inclusive development of the common law. In addition, the third edition offers a deeper critical discussion of the relationship between common law principles and the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa.
- The third edition draws critical connections between established principles of delictual law and the rapidly-developing technological context. Discussions, which relate and apply principles to the context of modern technologies, are integrated throughout the text.
The book selects some past events and experiences, national and international, and wonders what lessons were missed, learnt, or are yet to be learnt from them.
Tragedies happen again and again because we fail to learn from the past. The past is rich with valuable lessons – rich pickings. The reader is taken back into the past in search of some of those lessons, many of which, regrettably, we failed – and continue failing – to learn. As we dig into the past for those rich pickings, there will be moments to laugh, cry or even weep; but that is exactly how lessons are learnt in life.
Other similar incidents learnt from, both abroad and at home, relate to the author’s own experiences in South Africa, including as a Judge who heard amnesty applications as a member of the Amnesty Committee of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. The book hopes to show that capacity for evil is not peculiar to any nation or race; it also discusses the dangers of tribalism.
The chapter ‘Beyond the Frontiers’ takes the reader into the rest of Africa. A lot is revealed, including divisions the author witnessed – while serving as an AU judge based in Tanzania – within the AU along the languages of, ironically, colonial masters; also referenced is the sorry state of human rights in Africa. Have we seized the opportunity to learn all the valuable lessons which that great teacher, ‘The Past’, offered?
The author leaves it to readers to make their own final judgement after reading the book as to whether, at the individual and collective levels, we have learnt those lessons and taken them to heart for the good of our individual and collective destiny.

'A fine and deeply affecting work of history and memoir' Philippe
Sands Decades ago, the historian Bernard Wasserstein set out to
uncover the hidden past of the town forty miles west of Lviv where
his family originated: Krakowiec (Krah-KOV-yets). In this book he
recounts its dramatic and traumatic history. 'I want to observe and
understand how some of the great forces that determined the shape
of our times affected ordinary people.' The result is an
exceptional, often moving book. Wasserstein traces the arc of
history across centuries of religious and political conflict, as
armies of Cossacks, Turks, Swedes and Muscovites rampaged through
the region. In the Age of Enlightenment, the Polish magnate Ignacy
Cetner built his palace at Krakowiec and, with his vivacious
daughter, Princess Anna, created an arcadia of refinement and
serenity. Under the Habsburg emperors after 1772, Krakowiec
developed into a typical shtetl, with a jostling population of
Poles, Ukrainians and Jews. In 1914, disaster struck. 'Seven years
of terror and carnage' left a legacy of ferocious national
antagonisms. During the Second World War the Jews were murdered in
circumstances harrowingly described by Wasserstein. After the war
the Poles were expelled and the town dwindled into a border
outpost. Today, the storm of history once again rains down on
Krakowiec as hordes of refugees flee for their lives from Ukraine
to Poland. At the beginning and end of the book we encounter
Wasserstein's own family, especially his grandfather Berl. In their
lives and the many others Wasserstein has rediscovered, the people
of Krakowiec become a prism through which we can feel the shocking
immediacy of history. Original in conception and brilliantly
achieved, A Small Town in Ukraine is a masterpiece of recovery and
insight.

WELCOME TO UHTRED’S FEAST . . . The Last Kingdom is one of the
most successful historical fiction series of our time, telling the
epic story of the birth of England, and introducing one of the
greatest ever fictional heroes: the iconic Uhtred of Bebbanburg.
Saxon-born, Norse-raised, warrior and rebel. The final Last Kingdom
book was published in 2020, but for the author the story felt
unfinished: there were some Uhtred tales he still wanted to tell,
and over the course of writing the books he'd become fascinated by
some elements of the Anglo-Saxon world that it wasn't possible to
fully explore in the novels. When he met renowned chef Suzanne
Pollak, the idea for Uhtred's Feast was born. And here Bernard
Cornwell tells those additional Uhtred stories, showing us the man
behind the shield – as a young boy, as Alfred's advisor, and as
prince – while Suzanne brings his world to life through
beautifully crafted recipes which open a door into the Anglo-Saxon
home . . .
An honest policeman, Sergeant Wigan, escorts a drunk man home one
night to keep him out of trouble and, seeing his fine book
collection, slowly falls in to the gentle art of book collecting.
Just as the friendship is blossoming, the policeman's
book-collecting friend is murdered. To solve the mystery of why the
victim was killed, and which of his rare books was taken, Wigan
dives into the world of 'runners' and book collectors, where avid
agents will gladly cut you for a first edition and then offer you a
lift home afterwards. This adventurous mystery, which combines
exuberant characters with a wonderfully realised depiction of the
second-hand book market, is sure to delight bibliophiles and
classic crime enthusiasts alike.
Developments have turned the study of South African constitutional
