This is Durban curry, continued... a show which has been running
since the 1860s, when the first indentured labourers came from
India to work in the sugar cane plantations of then colonial Natal.
They brought spices, and seeds, and recipes. And when inevitably,
the influences and memories of the mother cuisine faded, Durban
curry became its own thing.
Recognisably different from its roots: redder, hotter. More
tomatoes, more chillis. But growing in its new homeground as it
pleased. Varying from cook to cook, chef to chef. That's what we
documented in 2014 in Durban Curry, So Much of Flavour. Now, in
2019, we find it's changing again.
Not the classics. They are timeless. But Durban curry is not set
in stone. The point about this community dish which has become a
national treasure is, precisely and imprecisely, that it has always
moved and mutated with the times. It continues, as it did right
from the beginning, to respond to new circumstances and needs.
And the point about our first investigation into what made it
distinctive is that it was “just a taste". We wrote: “We know there
is much more to tell, many more kitchens to visit, and dishes to
discover."
Clinton and Patterson are back. And they're better than ever.
The President of the United States is up for re-election.
Her husband is on trial for murder.
Is the First Gentleman a killer?
A pair of brilliant investigative journalists set out to answer that
burning question.
What is it like to be born dirt-poor in South Africa? Clinton Chauke knows, having been raised alongside his two sisters in a remote village bordering the Kruger National Park and a squatter camp outside Pretoria. Clinton is a young village boy when awareness dawns of how poor his family really is: there’s no theft in the village because there’s absolutely nothing to steal. But fire destroys the family hut, and they decide to move back to the city. There he is forced to confront the rough-and-tumble of urban life as a ‘bumpkin’.
He is Venda, whereas most of his classmates speak Zulu or Tswana and he has to face their ridicule while trying to pick up two or more languages as fast as possible. With great self-awareness, Clinton negotiates the pitfalls and lifelines of a young life: crime and drugs, football, religion, friendship, school, circumcision and, ultimately, becoming a man. Throughout it all, he displays determination as well as a self-deprecating humour that will keep you turning the pages till the end.
Clinton’s story is one that will give you hope that even in a sea of poverty there are those that refuse to give up and, ultimately, succeed.
‘The dream team delivers big time … Clinton’s insider secrets and Patterson’s storytelling genius make this the political thriller of the decade.’ – Lee Child
The President is missing.
As an unprecedented cyberterrorist attack cripples the United States, the President must face an unthinkable truth:
There is a traitor in his Cabinet. His life is in danger.

Set over the course of three days that shake a nation to its core, The President is Missing sheds a stunning light upon the inner workings and vulnerabilities of the American government. Filled with information that only a former President could know, this is the most authentic, terrifying thriller in years.

supporters set out to make the accident look like a suicide and
appear to have succeeded. However, a new convert to Day's church,
former hippie Carl (Greg Kinnear), stumbles across the truth and is
hunted in a very un-Christian manner by Day and his supporters as
they attempt to silence him.
