E. van der Ross has applied the incisive mind of the scientist, alternately dispassionate and touched by true emotion, to the myths that have grown up about what is called the Coloured people of South African and shown them for the myths they are.

But is Zuma the puppet master, or their puppet? Journey with Pauw as he explores the shadow mafia state. From KwaZulu-Natal and the Western Cape to the corridors of power in Pretoria and Johannesburg - and even to clandestine meetings in Russia.

"On 12th September 1950 Jan Smuts, a Boer General and British Field-marshal, died on his farm in a simple house of corrugated iron and wood - one of those apparent contradictions that had characterised his life. . In Smuts the Patriot Piet Meiring . draws on his great experience and looks at this controversial figure from a new angle. Is there a key to his personality? . Much has been written on Smuts and even more has been guessed and whispered. In this book Piet Meiring makes an honest attempt to see the man as a great patriot. It is of necessity a controversial book and may well shatter an image built up of him in the past. But the author succeeds in bringing this remarkable and complex man very near to us. It is a vision of Smuts worth presenting.".…

Introduction by Kader Asmal. "The once-banned South African classic. Albert Luthuli was the first African to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. Let My People Go is as much his extraordinary story as that of the African National Congress which he led for 15 years. He gives a first-hand account of the repression and resistance that were to shape the South African political landscape forever: the Defiance Campaign, which marked the first mass challenge to apartheid, the drafting of the Freedom Charter, the 1957 Treason Trial, the Alexandra bus boycott and the 1959 potato boycott, as well as the tragedies of Sharpeville, Langa and Nyanga. Let My People Go bears witness to Luthuli's unfailing humility, perseverance, and passionate commitment to the values of nonracialism and nonsexism. His vision, crucial to the shaping of the South Africa we live in today, continues to move and inspire. Born in 1898, Albert Luthuli served as Chief of the Groutville Umvoti Mission Reserve and as President-General of the ANC from 1952 to his death in 1967.".…

'Sir Harry Smith, with his military bearing and romantic marriage to the Spanish Juana, so captured the imagination of his contemporaries in South Africa, that the country has named three towns after him as well as a fourth, after Aliwal in India, where he led the British army to victory over the Sikhs. Today Harry Smith is not regarded as great, but in his own time he was extremely important. Harry Smith spent some fifteen years in South Africa (1829 - 1840; 1847 - 1852) first at the centre of complex and controversial affairs on the eastern frontier (1835 - 1836) and later as an active, confident but eventually harrassed and embattled governor and high commissioner (1847 - 1852). Dr Harington, in this penetrating study of early Victorian society and the British military system, has been entirely concerned with an attempt to see Smith as he was, in the context of his time, and not to laud his dash and vigour, to destroy his credibility or to make fun of his eccentric behaviour.'.…

It is the story of a Karoo boy who grew up during the Depression, struggled to find enough money to study science, and then made good as a businessman, spectacularly so, reaching the Forbes list of the 500 wealthiest people worldwide.

His Rembrandt group of manufacturers became known across the globe, owning brands like Cartier, Dunhill, Rothmans and Montblanc. Within a few decades, a family dynasty was built, making the Ruperts, next to the Oppenheimers, the richest family in Africa. . This compelling book, based on extensive international research and many hours of conversation with Rupert, his family and people who know him well, will generate wide interest.".…
