A thrilling, resonant and inspiring novel about justice, privilege and the power of the young to strive for change.
Set in a world where Adam and Leila and their friend Zak live as Nons under the Permitted ruling class. Then, when Adam and Leila's father dies unexpectedly, their mother faces losing her permit to live in the Stone City with deportation to where she was born. Before music-loving Adam can implement his plan to save Mama, Zak is arrested for a bold prank that goes wrong, with far-reaching repercussions for them all . . .
The eagerly awaited new children's book comes from award-winning author Beverley Naidoo, winner of the Carnegie Medal for The Other Side of Truth.
Never have seven people been so hunted. By assassins. By journalists and lawyers in search of the truth and then TRC investigators wanting justice for the victims’ families.
In 1986, seven young men were shot and killed by police in Gugulethu in Cape Town. The nation was told they were a ‘terrorist’ MK cell. An inquest followed, then a dramatic trial in 1987 and another inquest in 1989. Finally, the fact that Eugene de Kock’s Vlakplaas unit plotted and drove the operation was revealed at the Truth and Reconciliation ten years after the murders but Vlakplaas’s real agenda remained shrouded in mystery.
Hunting the Seven tells the story of the hunt for the truth of the Gugulethu Seven in cinematic style. It took a decade to get to the bottom of the killings.
Sifting through the evidence and original interviews with those involved, Roos-Muller reveals that it was Vlakplaas’s only operation in the Western Cape and an elaborate state-sanctioned snuff movie designed to keep the money rolling into the death squad’s slush fund.

This insightful Modern Guide explores heterodox approaches to
modern wellbeing research, with a specific focus on how wellbeing
is understood and practised, exploring policies and actions which
are taken to shape wellbeing. It evaluates contemporary trends in
wellbeing research, including the sometimes competing definitions,
methods and approaches offered by different disciplinary
perspectives. Exploring the threats to wellbeing from the
environments we inhabit and the situations societies create and
endure, chapters particularly look at wellbeing inequalities and
the experiences of marginalised groups, demonstrating the
connection between wellbeing and political struggle. Provocative
commentaries from leading scholars plus chapters on original
theoretical developments and research studies across diverse world
regions reveal wellbeing research based on situated practices,
social differences and specific cultural contexts. This Modern
Guide assesses the influence and impact of wellbeing research on
policy and practice across a range of sectors and spaces,
including: wellbeing budgeting, nature-based interventions, urban
design, environmental resource management, prisons, housing,
international migration, and post-conflict situations. This will be
a useful read for scholars of human geography, social policy, urban
studies, anthropology, political science and environmental
economics. Policy makers will also appreciate the suggestions for
improvement to wellbeing policies and practices.
