SIGNED COPY . Soft cover. 122 pages. Good condition. Bottom corner worn. Under 1kg. The film Goodbye Bafana tells of South Africa’s long walk to freedom through the relationship between racist prison warder, James Gregory, and prisoner number , Nelson Mandela. This was undoubtedly a captivating way to tell the story from both a political and human perspective. But given the overtly spiritual and religious character of communities across apartheid’s political and racial divides the story seemed to lack the very narrative that has always connected oppressed and oppressor. In A time to speak Harry Wiggett, priest and poet – and prison chaplain to Nelson Mandela both on Robben Island and at Pollsmoor – deepens the picture

SIGNED BY JEFF OPLAND. University of Kwazulu-Natal Press, . Hard cover, 389 pages. Immaculate condition. Under 1kg. This book chronicles the life, times and poetry of extraordinary Xhosa praise poet, the late David Yali-Manisi, and his growing friendship and fruitful working relationship with the author. Jeff Opland is a renowned scholar who is recognised world-wide as a foremost authority on Xhosa izibongo or praises. His perceptive account gives insight not only into Manisi himself, but the complex art form of praise poetry - a spontaneous performance art of extraordinary subtlety and sophistication that, as Opland notes, embodies in itself the ancestral culture, history and politics of the Xhosa nation.What is unique about this book is the personal dimension that Opland brings to the subject, fusing impeccable scholarship with self-reflective and autobiographical narrative. The book incorporates a variety of styles, from autobiographical to verbatim interview, and its shift of voice reflect the author's own internal journey as his deepening friendship with Manisi works its humanising alchemy. Opland assumes, increasingly, the role of conduit for Manisi's dynamic but tragically undervalued talent.The book is a celebration of the supreme talent of a gifted African poet, and the interaction of a black and a white South African reaching out to each other.

Signed by Chris Schoeman. 2011. Hard cover with dust cover; 248 pages. Very good condition. Publisher sticker in front. Under 1kg. At the outbreak of the Second Anglo-Boer war in 1899, a large number of Hollanders and Dutch expatriates joined the Boers, their reasons ranging from loyalty to their common ancestry to strong anti-British sentiments and a search for adventure. Brothers in arms documents the trials and tribulations of these volunteers – most of them unaccustomed to the harsh landscape and climate of South Africa. Quotations and personal anecdotes from their diaries and memoirs vividly bring to life their hardships on commando, the thunder and chaos of battle, and the trauma of comrades falling around them. Some of the prominent figures in the book are Cornelius van Gogh, brother of the painter Vincent van Gogh; the Dutch artist Frans Oerder, who became the Transvaal’s first official war artist; Jochem van Bruggen, four-times winner of the coveted Hertzog Prize for Afrikaans literature; and Rev. Herman van Broekhuizen, who played rugby for South Africa in 1896 and later served as South African ambassador in The Hague. Brothers in Arms covers the full spectrum of the Hollanders' roles as soldiers at the various battle fronts, ambulance personnel and military attaches, and their life in prisoner-of-war camps overseas.

SIGNED COPY Roan Antelope Books, 1997. Hard cover with dust cover, 283 pages. Very good condition. Tightly bound, neat and clean. The dust cover has minor wear. Sellotape marks in front and back. Name in front scratched out. U nder 1kg. John Edmond takes us through Rhodesia's major events, highlighting the early rulers, Mzilikazi and Shaka Zulu, right up to the last century. In this memoir, he takes us from his childhood, through the bush war and UDI to the stepping down of Ian Smith and beyond. Moving to Johannesburg, the author, already a renowned musician, breaks into the industry in Johannesburg, South Africa, eventually running the Gallo Music Company. What makes this book particularly interesting is the inclusion of the lyrics of the words to the huge number of songs he wrote which reflect the history and events of those times. His work took him all over the world, but the bush always called him back, often to dangerous areas of Zimbabwe when he frequently was called upon to entertain the troops.

Groups of nervous, dutiful white conscripts begin their National Service with Rhodesia's security forces.
