AFRICA WORK
Greg Mills, Olusegun Obasanjo,
Jeffrey Herbst and Dickie Davis
Sub-Saharan Africa faces three big
challenges over the next generation. It will
double its population to two billion by 2045.
By then more than half of Africans will be
living in cities. And this group of mostly
young people will be connected through
mobile devices.
Properly harnessed and planned for, these
are positive forces for change. Without
economic growth and jobs, they could
prove a political and social catastrophe.
Old systems of patronage and muddling
through will no longer work.
Making Africa Work is a practical
account of how to ensure growth beyond
commodities, and to create jobs. It’s a
handbook for dynamic leadership inside
and outside the continent.

THE LOST BOYS
OF BIRD ISLAND
    Mark Minnie and Chris Steyn
      It is the late 1980s. Serious allegations
   surface against three prominent National
    Party cabinet ministers, one of them the
    second-most powerful man in the land.
 They are, it is said, regularly abusing young
       boys on an island just off the coast of
                                  Port Elizabeth.
From opposite ends of South Africa, a brave
     cop and a driven journalist investigate.
Mark Minnie and Chris Steyn independently
     uncover evidence of a dark secret. But
      the case only surfaces briefly before it
                    disappears completely.
     Thirty years later, the two finally connect
    the dots to expose this shocking story of
 criminality, cover-ups and official complicity
in the rape and possible murder of children,
          most of them vulnerable and black.                                                 BEST-

                       Julian Jansen
 Can drugs, jealousy and money drive a
normal twenty-year-old to pick up an axe
   and wipe out nearly his whole family?
   This is the question on everyone’s lips
      after the brutal Van Breda murders.
       With insider’s access to the family,
    investigative journalist Julian Jansen
     writes about the murders that shook
                               the country.
  The Van Breda’s looked like the perfect
      family: wealthy, successful and well-
  known. In the luxurious De Zalze estate
they lived a seemingly picture-perfect life.
    But one night in January 2015 all this
       changed when three of the family
    members were brutally axed to death
                       in their own home.
With the teenaged daughter of the family,
      Marli, having no recollection of that
    horrific night, Henri is the only person
         who knows what truly happened.
 But he is suspected of the triple murder.

BIOGRAPHICAL AND AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL

             By the author of the top-seller Biko: A Biography. This is a radically new
                  appraisal which challenges the established Mandela narrative.

 MANDELA: THE ARISTOCRAT
 AND THE REVOLUTION
 Xolela Mangcu
     Xolela Mangcu’s new appraisal of the
     formative influences on Nelson Mandela
     challenges convention, presenting
     arguments based on previously
     unused sources. The Aristocrat and the
     Revolution is the first Mandela biography
     to draw extensively on original Xhosa
     documentation, including polemics in local
     newspapers and minutes of the Transkei’s
     pseudo-parliament, the Bhunga.

     Mangcu provides a novel approach to
     understanding both Mandela’s nonracialism
     and his pragmatism. He argues that it was
     not tribal influences but modernity which
     shaped Mandela: His family of Thembu
     royalty effectively became the First Family
     of the Transkei. They colluded with colonial
     governments and missionaries, and were a
     family of Anglophiles. With limited self rule,
     the Thembu family also had experience of
     the realities of governing.

     An original analysis which provides                                 Mandela: The Aristocrat
     fascinating insights into the development of                        and the Revolution

  When the Cradock Four’s Fort Calata was
 murdered by agents of the apartheid state
  in 1985 his son, Lukhanyo, was only three
  years old. Thirty-one years later Lukhanyo,
now a journalist, becomes one of the SABC
     8 when he defies Hlaudi Motsoeneng’s
            reign of censorship at the public
   broadcaster by writing an open letter that
        declares: my father didn’t die for this.
         Now, with his wife, Abigail, Lukhanyo
  brings to life the father he never knew and
   investigates the mystery that, despite two
  high-profile inquests, surrounds his death.
       Join them in a poignant and inspiring
      journey into the history of a remarkable
    family. My Father Died for This traces the
  struggle against apartheid beginning with
  Fort’s grandfather, treason trialist and ANC
      secretary-general Canon James Calata.

     TIES OF BLOOD
     Wilhelm Verwoerd
     After years of facilitating
     reconciliation in Ireland, Wilhelm
     Verwoerd wants to make peace
     with his own family – especially
     in dealing with the legacy of
     his grandfather, HF Verwoerd,
     who is often called ‘the architect
     of apartheid’. In his search for
     understanding, he discovers
     old diaries belonging to his
     grandmother, Betsie Verwoerd,
     and talks with friends and
     colleagues who suffered under
     apartheid, and with his mother
     on her experiences of the family.
     An intimate, candid look at what
     it means to live with integrity in
     South Africa.

     THE AUTHOR
     Wilhelm Verwoerd was born in 1964,
     in the heyday of apartheid, which was
     infamously formalised by his grandfather
     Hendrik Verwoerd. Deeply disillusioned
     with the system he was raised in, Wilhelm
     joined the ANC in the early 1990s, and
     worked for the Truth and Reconciliation
                                                                   Bloedbande     July 2018 | 304 pp

Marianne Thamm
In her first openly personal book,
Marianne Thamm delves deeply into
her own unconventional life story.
Her German father was enlisted by
Hitler and later made munitions for
Verwoerd. He married her Portuguese
mother when she worked as a cleaner
in England. Marianne, an outspoken
feminist and political activist, grew
up tough amid Afrikaans neighbours
in Pretoria’s less salubrious suburbs.
Today she is the proud mother of
two (black) teenagers… Marianne’s
story is the story of the last century,
of the defeat of fascism and bigotry
and a new era ushered in by Nelson
Mandela. It is also the story of the love
of a mother for her children, and how
this changes everything. Sad at times,
deeply moving and, like Marianne,
hugely entertaining, this is a genre-
defying book which will attract
massive attention.

        EARTH
     Fransjohan Pretorius
         The scorched earth policy
     followed by the British forces
        during the Anglo-Boer War
       of 1899–1902 was probably
    the most controversial aspect
         of this harrowing war. The
  concentration camps in which
   the women and children were
    placed led to bitter memories
          and trauma that haunted
 Afrikaners and other inhabitants
    of South Africa alike for many
                 years after the war.
         The suffering and deaths
      in the concentration camps
    were used with great effect by
       political leaders in the 20th
        century to further Afrikaner
         nationalism. In this newly
        revised edition a group of
         eminent historians take a

                                      Elsabé Brits
 The comprehensive biography of an exceptional
   woman who defied stereotype and convention.
Driven by principle and passion, Emily Hobhouse
  defied her class position to vociferously oppose
    war, both the 1899–1902 South African Anglo-
       Boer War and World War One, which led to
               accusations of treason against her.
The author, award-winning journalist Elsabé Brits,
 was fascinated by Emily Hobhouse’s conviction
    and activism and spent two years travelling in
     her footsteps to retrace her often astonishing
    story. She found a direct descendant of Emily
Hobhouse’s brother living in Canada, who had a
 trunk full of Hobhouse’s incomplete handwritten
  autobiography, along with some of Hobhouse’s
               other documents and photographs.
   Quoting from this and other new sources, Brits
    brings to life for contemporary readers a feisty
  feminist heroine who would not stop fighting, in                      Emily Hobhouse: Beloved Traitor

   was volatile and he quickly became
   involved in politics. As an activist, he
     was arrested on several occasions,
  most notably during the 1980 school
       boycotts. He helped establish the
