Aan die Kaapse Weskus versorg Rebecca Maas haar sterwende pa in ’n tegnologies gevorderde slimhuis, ’n huis wat praat in ’n halfbekende stem. Op die horison, ’n olietenkskip.

’n Posthuman biohacker trou met die enorme skip, en maak kuns oor die wittebroodsreis.

En in die yswildernis van Svalbard verdwyn ’n navorser se kollega en minnaar spoorloos. Hulle is daar om geheimsinnige spierwit items te ondersoek – dalk beendere, maar dan beendere wat vertak en ineensmelt soos geen bekende skepsel s’n nie.

Willem Anker se roman Buys (2014) is bekroon met die Universiteit van Johannesburg-prys, die WA Hofmeyrprys, die kykNET-Rapportprys, die Hertzogprys en die Helgaard Steyn-toekenning. In vertaling as Red Dog was dit in 2020 op die langlys vir die International Booker Prize. Anker doseer skeppende skryfkunde aan die Universiteit Stellenbosch.

Coenraad de Buys was the most dangerous man around in the Cape of the late 1700s.

At eight he crossed his first frontier and left his mother’s house behind. Left his home (the first of many); left the Cape; left civilisation.

From the Langkloof Buys roves – a giant, a legend, polygamist and swindler; the bane of government, father to chieftains and a Buysvolk of his own. Everywhere his wild oats are sown; everywhere renegades and criminals join his band of outcasts. He interprets between Xhosa and English but speaks only his own words.

And everywhere on his travels, always there is the pack of dogs and the earless red leader that put Buys on his restless path. In Buys’ tracks, in his head, around his camp fires the slavering jaws snap.

He was born in the Langkloof. He died on the banks of the Limpopo. But Buys is not dead.

Red Dog is a novel about frontiers and borders. The Afrikaans original Buys was hugely acclaimed in 2014. Now it has been masterfully translated by Michiel Heyns.

Universiteit van Johannesburg-debuutprys (2008) Jan Rabie Rapport-prys vir innoverende letterkunde (2008) Siegfried Landman is iets in die dertig. Sy lewe lank het hy saam met sy pa op ’n afgeleë plaas iewers in die Karoo gewoon. Maar dan, op ’n dag, sterf sy pa, en moet Siegfried maak soos sy pa hom al die jare laat oefen het: gaan haal Wilhelm Smit (jare lank al ’n bywoner op hulle plaas) en gaan Kaap toe, na oom Bert Fischer, sy enigste oorlewende familielid naas sy ma, wat ’n meermin in die see is. Dit word ’n magiese reis, wat begin met ’n besoek aan ’n boeregesin op nog ’n afgeleë plaas in die Karoo en amper eindig by Georg Fafnir, sirkusbaas met ’n voorliefde vir die teatrale. ’n Verstommende, meesleurende roman – ’n verhaal wat voortsnel tot ’n onafwendbare einde. ’n Kosbare toevoeging tot die Afrikaanse letterkunde.

Wages are the main determinant of living standards for the vast majority of workers and families around the world. This manual describes a new methodology to measure what constitutes a decent but basic standard of living and how much workers need to earn to afford this, making it possible for researchers to estimate comparable living wages around the world and determine gaps between living wages and prevailing wages. The new, practical methodology in this manual draws on 10 years of research and experience to clearly explain each step in the estimation process, based on standards for a low cost nutritious diet, healthy housing, and all other needs including decent health care and children's education. It stresses transparency and the need for time and place specific living wage estimates, and is replete with examples from country studies that have put it to the test. The authors describe how living wages can be estimated in locations and countries where secondary data are limited and make new, practical recommendations on how to value in kind benefits as partial payment of a living wage. An essential tool for Researchers and NGOs interested in wages, poverty, living standards, and corporate social responsibility issues, this manual will also serve company professionals responsible for corporate social responsibility and human resources. It is also an excellent tool for Bank governments and unions, and international organizations such as the United Nations, UNDP, ILO and World Bank involved in setting minimum wages, poverty alleviation programs and trade policies.
