This is an elegant  work cast in bronze which was acquired over 50 years ago by my late father and is understood to have been crafted by an artist of the Bakongo people who had lived among the Bakuba. It consists of solid, high grade bronze and weighs1.5 Kg. It has a length of 25 cm and average width of 19 cm with a thickness averaging 5 mm This unique  item will appeal by its distinctiveness and graceful craftsmanship to any discerning collector of vintage African art. It has been independently appraised by a specialist as a fine example of original African art,  to be worth over R. However as I am planning to relocate I am offering this for R  O.B.O. (To my regret this is at this time for collection only in the Western Cape area.)

Imaginative Trespasser: Letters Between Bessie Head, Patrick and Wendy Cullinan Wits University Press, South Africa, . Paperback. Book Condition: During her exile in Botswana, Bessie Head conducted a correspondence with the South African poet and publisher Patrick Cullinan and his wife, Wendy, that became a record of her struggle to survive her isolation, and that traces Head s discovery of her powers as a writer. The Cullinans were among her few constant sources of moral, and sometimes material, support, and in the warm exchange of letters that passed between them, a picture emerges of the period during which so many South African writers and activists faced the challenge of exile. Cullinan s commentary on Head s letters is trenchant and engaging, and he uses his own considerable skills as a writer to construct a narrative that is both absorbing and illuminating. Imaginative Trespasser is a poignant account of a friendship that grew in and through letters, survived the pressures of exile, and yet was deeply damaged by the demons that Bessie Head carried within her during the difficult years of her life in Botswana.

In the world of espionage, truth is the first victim and nothing is as it seems. Here, for the first time, South Africas most notorious apartheid spy Olivia Forsyth lays bare the story of her remarkable life.   Olivia Forsyth was a romantic young woman in search of adventure when she joined the Security Police with visions of international derring-do. But Craig Williamson, her unit head, had other ideas and Olivia was trained to spy on students before being dispatched to Rhodes University, a supposed hotbed of anti-apartheid radicalism. It wasnt long before Olivia had infiltrated various student organisations, feeding vital information back to her handler. She came to hold prominent positions on campus and, as reward, was promoted to Lieutenant. Having reached the end of her studies, Olivia set her sights on a much more ambitious and dangerous target: the ANC in exile. But what should have been her greatest triumph as a spy turned into disaster when the ANC threw her into Quatro, the notorious internment camp in Angola. This is a riveting story set in the final years of apartheid. The Author: Olivia Forsyth was a Lieutenant in the South Africa Security Police in the 1980's. She spent four years at Rhodes University where she infiltrated various anti-apartheid organisations. Thereafter she was held in Angola by the ANC before escaping. She now lives in the United Kingdom.

Malawi 20 kwacha Art of hunting elephant silver rectangular coin 2011 Edition Technical Specs Presentation Country:   Malawi Metal Purity:    Silver 0.925 Box:   Blister:¿Yes Year of Issue:   2011 Weight:   28,28 CoA:   Yes Face Value:   20 Kwacha Dimensions:   40x28     Quality:   Proof     Mintage:   3000   New coin with capsule and in original blister packaging (packaging may be crumpled) The Mint of Poland presents a series of collector coins ¿Art of Hunting". The collection presents typical hunting scenes from various regions of the world. The first coin in the series was the "Duck Hunting" coin, the second is the ¿Elephant Hunting¿.The African elephant is the biggest land animal. It can measure 4 meters height and weighs between 7.5 ¿ 8 tons. The difference between the African elephant and the Asian elephant is that the former has much bigger ears and a different head shape. There are two subspecies of the African Elephant: African savanna elephant and African bush elephant. The physiology of the African elephant is amazing. These elephants are said to be very intelligent animals. An elephant¿s brain weighs about 6 000 g (about four times more than a human brain). This mighty giant has to eat about 400 kg of plant fare daily. His trunk ¿ the most versatile organ in the whole animal world ¿ is very useful while eating. It serves not only for reaching food but also for sniffing, touching things, making sounds and caressing. The elephant moves quickly (up to 40 km per hour), it treads silently and it steps unusually delicately on the tips of its fingers. ____________________________________________________  Feel free to e-mail me with any questions.

Conflicting Missions  is a compelling and dramatic account of Cuban policy in Africa and of its escalating clash with US policy and later its direct military clashes with the South African Defence Force in Angola. It is the other side of a conflict that South Africans have not been told about until now. Gleijeses' narrative gallops from Cuba's first hesitant steps in rendering assistance to Algerian rebels fighting France in 1961, to the war in the Congo (later Zaire and now the Democratic Republic of Congo) in 1964-65, when 100 Cubans led by Che Guevara, acting in support of the Simba rebels, were confronted by white mercenaries from South Africa, Rhodesia, Britain and elsewhere - supported and controlled by America's Central Intelligence Agency. Gleijeses writes about the dramatic dispatch to Angola of Cuban troops to aid the communist-backed rebel MPLA movement in 1975. And how, being the rainy season, their destruction of the major river bridges in Angola's north contributed to halting the rapid and victorious advance of the seemingly unstoppable Battle Group Zulu of South Africa's SADF. The blocking of Battle Group Zulu from reaching Luanda led to political decisions by the US Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger, to call off the CIA's future operations in support of UNITA and the FNLA and to South African Prime Minister John Vorster withdrawing all South African forces from Angola. This left the MPLA and its Cuban and other communist allies in control. This was undoubtedly the most significant domino that would soon lead to the fall of white Rhodesia and ultimately to the handover of Namibia to SWAPO and finally to black rule in the Republic South Africa. Piero Gleijeses analysis is clear, rigorous and balanced; the archival research supporting it is unprecedented. Not only is he the first historian to have gained access to closed Cuban archives, he also worked extensively in the archives of the United States, Belgium, Great Britain and East and West Germany. In addition he interviewed many of the protagonists in the United States, Cuba and Africa - from the head of the CIA station in Luanda to Che Guevara's second-in-command in the Congo - and analysed the American, European, South African and other African press. The result is a remarkably comprehensive document that sheds new light on the history of those times. It  revolutionizes  our view of Cuba's international role, challenges conventional beliefs about the Soviet Union in directing Cuba's action in Africa and provides, for the first time, a look from the inside of Cuba's foreign policy during the Cold War Hardcover, 490 pages.  Published August 2005
