Paperback. Condición: Very Good. This is South African history as you've never seen it before: a fresh, lively, accessible title recounting fascinating, quirky and unexpected stories about our past. There's the story of the Khoikhoi chief who was kidnapped and taken to England in 1610. And of King Moshoeshoe's mercy towards the cannibals who had eaten his beloved grandfather, because killing them would defile his grandfather's grave. There's the story of Boer War general Christiaan de Wet and his brother Piet, who joined the British forces and fought his own people. The stories span the centuries, up to recent times and take in the variety of South Africa's regions and cultures. The result is a fascinating mosaic of our rich historical heritage. There are plenty of academic histories of South Africa, but this is a title that the general reader will enjoy, and it will appeal to tourists too.…

230 x 152 mm; laminated pictorial wrappers; pp. (viii) + 286, incl. index; plates, incl. some in colour. Fine condition. "Former Financial Mail boss Stephen Mulholland called him the 'worst unguided missile' he had ever come across. PW Botha poked Max with his famous finger and said: 'This man spent his life making trouble for everyone.' FW de Klerk called him 'one of my enemies'. Nelson Mandela, speaking at an annual foreign correspondents dinner, said: 'There is a man here tonight who is an outstanding example to all of you: Max du Preez.' Yet, a member of the Mbeki government called him 'a political commissar of apartheid'. His former boss Joe Thloloe said: 'Many say he is difficult to work with and has no respect for authority. For him there are no holy cows. But even his worst enemies will concede that he is an outstanding journalist.' Sunday Independent columnist John Carlin wrote: 'Max belongs to South Africa's heroic period; he is a character worthy of having walked on the Mandela stage. The tawdriness that is the master spirit of this age is beneath a man of his outstanding qualities.' If people say these things about him, imagine the story he has to tell . ".…

Paperback. Condición: New. In 1976 Max du Preez witnessed the first stones thrown and the first shots fired in Soweto on June 16 as a young newspaper reporter. Having grown up in the heart of Afrikaner nationalism, it was the end of his normal. It was also the end of normal for white South Africans, most of whom were living in blissful ignorance. The events of 1976 set in motion a continuous series of developments that led to the ruling National Party and the main liberation movement reaching a settlement in 1994 that brought democracy to South Africa for the first time. Over the last fifty years, Du Preez has had a front-row seat witnessing South Africa's darkest and brightest moments as a journalist. He paints a colourful story as a child of apartheid, doing his military service, studying at Stellenbosch University and starting his career at Afrikaans newspapers. But what he experienced and had to report on, eventually led him to rebel and become a traitor to his volk and a media terrorist exposing apartheid's darkest secrets. In The End of Normal he explores how otherwise decent people came to implement and support an evil system like apartheid. He examines the long-term impact of June 16 and takes a hard look at white and black attitudes today, in particular the resurrection of Afrikaner nationalism A raw and honest account spiced with fascinating anecdotes, confessions and revelations. …
