She knew she might lose her job as group treasurer, yet Cynthia Stimpel decided to blow the whistle anyway. She simply could not keep quiet about an irregular deal of R256 million at South African Airways on Dudu Myeni's watch. It was not an easy decision, but 'the right one'.
Cynthia was on a pilgrimage in France when she received word that a dodgy deal between BNP Capital and SAA was signed against her strict orders. She immediately sent a whistleblowing message to National Treasury and raised the alarm in an attempt to stop the deal. Although she succeeded in saving SAA millions she paid a high price for speaking the truth; She lost her job and her reputation. Yet her battle against Myeni and her fellow state capturers at the SAA was far from over. She still had to face Myeni in court and testify against her at the Zondo Commission.
This is a very personal state capture story that shows how one brave individual helped to stop the rot.
The inspirational final book from the legendary leadership expert Stephen R. Covey, internationally best-selling author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.
How do you live your best life, no matter your age? How should you approach the challenges and opportunities of middle to later life—like raising children, caring for parents, managing and inspiring others, and staying on top of your career and what comes next?
In Live Life in Crescendo Stephen R. Covey sets out to answer these questions, outlining his vision for those in the prime of your life, whatever age you may be. To live life in crescendo is to continually grow in contribution, learning, and influence. In the same way that music builds on previous notes but leaves us anticipating the next note, a life builds on the past but unfolds in the future. The Crescendo Mentality urges readers to use whatever you have — your time, talents, skills, resources, gifts, passion, money, influence — to enrich the lives of people around you.
Written near the end of his life and published posthumously, Live Life in Crescendo is a life-changing and life-affirming book infused with Covey’s generosity and wisdom.

All 20 episodes from the sixth and final series of the hit comedy
drama series set in New York. In 'To Market, To Market', Carrie
(Sarah Jessica Parker) is getting so nervous about her date with
Berger (Ron Livingston) that she decides to go on a Sim-u-date to
calm her nerves. 'Great Sexpectations' sees Carrie realising that
the passion she and Berger feel for each other doesn't translate to
the bedroom. In 'The Perfect Present', Carrie is concerned by
Berger's hostile reaction to his ex-girlfriend's voicemail message.
In 'Pick-a-Little, Talk-a-Little', Berger reacts badly to Carrie's
jokey criticism of his new novel. In 'Lights, Camera,
Relationship', Carrie and Berger's relationship starts to look even
more fragile when Carrie gets a big advance for her book just as
Berger's option is dropped by his publisher. In 'Hop, Skip and a
Week', Berger and Carrie drift even further apart and he finally
dumps her - by Post-it note. In 'The Post-it Always Sticks Twice',
Carrie vows to her friends that she won't badmouth Berger - but
when she runs into some friends of his the temptation proves
irresistible. In 'The Catch', Charlotte (Kristin Davis) gets
married to Harry (Evan Handler). 'A Woman's Right to Shoes' finds
Carrie's new Manolos being stolen at her friend's baby shower. In
'Boy, Interrupted', Carrie runs into an old high school boyfriend,
who is in town to attend a local psychiatric facility. 'The Domino
Effect' sees Big (Chris Noth) back in town for an operation. In a
feverish delirium he opens up to Carrie - but on recovery becomes
his usual cool and closed-off self. In 'One', Carrie meets
Aleksandr Petrovsky (Mikhail Baryshnikov) at a hot new art
exhibition. In 'Let There Be Light', Carrie stays over at
Aleksandr's apartment and the two become an official item. In
'Catch-38', Aleksandr tells Carrie that he has a daughter in Paris,
and that he doesn't want any more children - leaving Carrie to
wonder if, at 38, she's willing to give up a man for a baby she may
or may not want to have. 'Out of the Frying Pan' sees Carrie
walking out on Aleksandr when, during a conversation about
Samantha's (Kim Cattrell) breast cancer, he mentions a friend of
his who died of the illness. In 'The Cold War', Carrie arranges for
her friends to meet Aleksandr, but he doesn't show up, and it turns
out he's anxious about his forthcoming exhibition in Paris. In
'Splat', Carrie accepts Aleksandr's offer to accompany him to
Paris. In 'An American Girl in Paris (Part Une)', Carrie, left to
her own devices on the streets of Paris while Aleksandr prepares
for his exhibition, is missing her friends and her life back home.
In the final episode, 'An American Girl in Paris (Part Deux)',
Carrie returns to New York and her friends with Big after he tracks
her down in Paris and they realise they are meant to be together.

When her sister, Fikile, dies after bravely fighting breast cancer, Anele cannot
give in to sadness; she has to ensure that the cultural ceremonies and rituals
associated with the burial are performed. Fikile’s husband, Thiza, absent during
her dying days, is still nowhere to be found.
As mourners arrive at the house in the township of New Hope for the period
of grieving, old family conflicts lurk under the surface.
All the while, Anele is haunted by memories of Fikile, who sacrificed her
youth to take over their household; who got involved with her teacher and
eventually trapped herself in a marriage with him. Only Anele knows of the
chance Fikile had to start over in later years. But then cancer struck.
A betrayal causes Anele’s own support system to crumble, but she still has
to care for her mother and for Fikile’s children. Will her life take the same course
as Fikile’s? Is her sole purpose ensuring the happiness of others? Or is she
allowed to want something more?
