The Thabo Mbeki I Know (Paperback) - Sifiso Ndlovu, Miranda Strydom
R295,00
The Thabo Mbeki I Know is a collection that celebrates one of South Africa’s most exceptional thought leaders. The contributors include those who first got to know Thabo Mbeki as a young man, in South Africa and in exile, and those who encountered him as a statesman and worked alongside him as an African leader.In The Thabo Mbeki I Know, these friends, comrades, statesmen, politicians and business associates provide insights that challenge the prevailing academic narrative and present fresh perspectives on the former president’s time in office and on his legacy – a vital undertaking as we approach a decade since an embattled Thabo Mbeki left office. Edited by Miranda Strydom and Sifiso Mxolisi Ndlovu, The Thabo Mbeki I Know provides readers with an opportunity to reassess Thabo Mbeki’s contribution to post-apartheid South Africa – as both deputy president and president – to the African continent and diaspora – as a highly respected state leader – and to the international community as a whole.

'To Kill a Mockingbird for the 21st Century' Real Reader Review When a newborn baby dies after a routine hospital procedure, there is no doubt about who will be held responsible: the nurse who had been banned from looking after him by his father.

AB : The Autobiography - AB de Villiers
R350,00
AB de Villiers is one of the finest batsmen ever to play cricket, and yet his achievement extends beyond his outrageous armoury of drives, pulls, paddles, scoops and flicks. Whether he is delighting home crowds at the Wanderers or Newlands or setting new records in Bengaluru or Sydney, he plays the game in a brave, whole-hearted, smiling manner that projects a positive image of his country around the world and also makes millions of South Africans feel good about themselves. His popularity continues to grow, measured not only by more than two million followers on Twitter and hundreds of thousands of followers on Facebook but most vividly by the electric buzz of anticipation that sizzles through the grandstands whenever and wherever he strides to the crease. This is AB's story, in his own words...the story of the youngest of three talented, sports-mad brothers growing up in Warmbaths, of a boy who was nurtured at one of Pretoria's finest schools and who excelled at tennis, rugby and cricket, of a youngster who made his international debut at the age of 20 and was then selected in every single Test played by South Africa for the next 11 seasons, of a batsman who has started to redefine the art, dominating bowling attacks in every form of the game and being ranked among the world's very best in Test, ODI and T20. And yet, through all the pyrotechnics and consistency, AB has remained a true sportsman in all the best senses of the word - quick to deflect praise, swift to praise opponents, eager to work hard, to embrace the team's next challenge and to relish what he still regards as the huge privilege of representing his country.

Ab : Die Outobiografie - AB de Villiers
R350,00
AB de Villiers is sonder twyfel een van die beste kolwers wat krieket nog ooit opgelewer het, maar sy prestasies strek veel verder as sy ongelooflike arsenaal dryf-, trek-, skep-, kap- en veeghoue. Of hy nou die tuisskares by die Wanderers of Nuweland laat jubel, of in Bengaluru of Sydney nuwe rekords opstel, die vriendelike krieketheld speel 'n vreeslose, vurige spel wat miljoene Suid-Afrikaners trots maak en altyd 'n positiewe beeld van sy land uitstraal. Dat sy gewildheid steeds toeneem, blyk duidelik, nie net uit sy derduisende Facebook-aanhangers en meer as twee miljoen Twitter-volgelinge nie, maar ook uit die duidelik waarneembare gevoel van afwagting in die paviljoene wanneer hy uitstap om sy plek voor die paaltjies in te neem. Dis AB se storie die, in sy eie woorde - die verhaal van die jongste van drie talentvolle, sportmal broers se grootwordjare in Warmbad; van 'n seun wat in sy hoerskooljare by een van Pretoria se topskole in tennis, rugby en krieket uitgeblink het; van 'n jong man wat op 20 sy internasionale krieketdebuut gemaak het en in die volgende 11 seisoene vir elke enkele toets gekies is waaraan Suid-Afrika deelgeneem het; van 'n kolwer wat besig is om die kuns te herdefinieer, wat boulaanvalle in elke variasie van die spel oorheers en onder die wereld se bestes gereken word in toets- sowel as internasionale eendag- en T20-krieket. Maar, te midde van die vuurwerke en deurlopende staatmakerspel, bly AB 'n ware sportman in die beste sin van die woord - beskeie oor sy eie welslae maar gou om sy opponente lof toe te swaai, altyd gereed om hard te werk, om sy span se volgende uitdaging te aanvaar en om sy land te verteenwoordig - iets wat hy steeds as 'n enorme voorreg beskou.

Rogue : The Inside Story of Sars's Elite Crime-Busting Unit - Johann van Loggerenberg , Adrian Lackay
R150,00
The story of a “rogue unit” operating within the South African Revenue Service (SARS) became entrenched in the public mind following a succession of sensational reports published by the Sunday Times in 2014. The unit, the reports claimed, had carried out a series of illegal spook operations: they had spied on President Jacob Zuma, run a brothel, illegally bought spyware and entered into unlawful tax settlements.In a plot of Machiavellian proportions, head of the elite crime-busting unit Johann van Loggerenberg and many of SARS’s top management were forced to resign. Van Loggerenberg’s select team of investigators, with their impeccable track record of busting high-level financial fraudsters and nailing tax criminals, lost not only their careers but also their reputations.Now, in this extraordinary account, they finally get to put the record straight and the rumours to rest: there was no ‘rogue unit’. The public had been deceived, seemingly by powers conspiring to capture SARS for their own ends.Shooting down the allegations he has faced one by one, Van Loggerenberg tells the story of what really happened inside SARS, revealing details of some of the unit’s actual investigations.

Love Out Loud : 365 Devotions for Loving God, Loving Yourself, and Loving Others
R490,00
Jesus said, "You must love the Lord your God with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself." - Luke10:27 If one had to choose a single verse in the Bible that is a formula for successful living, this would be the one to live by, says Joyce Meyer: love God, yourself and others - in that order. Many Christians get mixed up about love. They know they should love God and others, but many do not understand that loving oneself is one-third of God's equation. They mistakenly think of it as selfishness or self-aggrandizement. Joyce Meyer believes that this misconception is one of the greatest pitfalls in the Christian journey. Loving oneself in a balanced, healthy manner is essential in order to have healthy relationships with God, ourselves and others.

Making Good Habits, Breaking Bad Habits - Joyce Meyer
R195,00
In this book, Joyce Meyer starts by examining the nature of habits. The first habit – and most important one to have – is the God Habit. By making it a habit to start your day by reading the Bible and communing with God, asking for His help in your efforts and His strength and sustenance, the stage is set for overcoming the habits you want to break and establishing new ones in their place.She then explores how to break bad habits by examining the destructive negative behavior patterns. The author moves on to discuss fourteen good habits and devotes a chapter to each. By the end of the chapter, the reader has a specific roadmap to follow until the behavior has become automatic (the definition of a habit). It’s like following a GPS to get you to a new place. After traveling the same route several times, the GPS isn’t needed for you to find your destination. The ‘habit’ of following the right route is ingrained.
