Kgalema MotlantheA Political Biography
EBRAHIM HARVEY
Ebrahim Harvey presents a superb account of a man characterised by his reticence. Harvey provides a rare and thorough insight into this most private and yet among the most powerful of men in South Africa. We learn about Motlanthe’s ancestral family and political awakenings as he discovers the ANC. From here we come to understand the importance of his time on Robben Island and the friendships and alliances he formed there.

Up in ArmsPursuing Accountability for the Arms Deal in Parliament
RAENETTE TALJAARD
This is an insider’s story of political drama and intrigue during the Mbeki era when the arms deal controversy erupted and pitted Parliament against the executive. As an independent review panel later concluded, Parliament either lost its way or lost the faith of the South African public during the process.

MarikanaA View from the Mountain and a Case to Answer
PETER ALEXANDER, THAPELO LEKGOWA, BOTSANG MMOPE, LUKE SINWELL AND BONGANI XEZWI
The heart of Marikana: A View from the Mountain and a Case to Answer is a series of interviews conducted with workers who survived the massacre. The interviews were often conducted at the foot of the mountain because that is where workers continued to meet. In addition, there is a narrative of the massacre and preceding events written from the perspective of the strikers.

Black Man’s MedicineMUZI KUZWAYO
Black Man’s Medicine is about economic freedom. It introduces the idea that SEE (self-economic empowerment) is the new BEE. Most importantly, it insists that apartheid was a terrible and unfortunate part of our shared history but should no longer define our present challenges and myriad opportunities for success.
