Die hitte, Kersboompies van plastiek, die blikkerige geneul van "Jingle Bells" sodra jy dit by ’n winkelsentrum in waag, ’n feesmaal wat ’n dag lank voorberei en binne ’n halfuur verorber word en jou ’n week later nog laat voel asof jy ’n seekoei ingesluk het, met al die sooibrand wat daarmee saamgaan … En dan die geskenke: ’n kas vol goeters en onwaarskynlikhede...KanseDanie Botha - 2008-11-05 Vir Vivian en vriendeHerinnerings, herinnerings ...

Inleiding Vir talle mense is die woord kanker sinoniem met die dood. Maar soos wat u sal sien, is kanker in party gevalle voorkombaar en, veral wanneer dit vroeg gediagnoseer word, oorwinbaar. Die woord kanker is slegs ŉ generiese term en kan na ŉ wye verskeidenheid toestande verwys. Daar bestaan honderde siektes wat as “kanker” geklassifiseer kan word. Breinkanker verskil byvoorbeeld dramaties van leukemie. Die ooreenkomste tussen kankers is heelwat minder as die...Evita's State of the Nation addressEvita Bezuidenhout - 2008-10-08 1 October 2008: President Thabo Mbeki has been recalled by the African National Congress.

Die resensent maak die skrywer teen wil en dank seer en hy knou sy boek. Hy is verplig om te sê as hy nie van 'n boek hou nie, en waarom nie, want hy het die verantwoordelikheid aanvaar om lesers oor die boek in te lig en hulle van eerlike advies te bedien. 'n Resensent het selfs die taak om 'n swak skrywer plat te slaan indien dit nodig is om hom van sy literêre ambisies te red. En hy mag 'n insinking in die werk van 'n...Commendatio vir die Sanlampryse vir Afrikaanse Jeuglektuur 20072008-02-25 Die oes van voortreflike jeugboeke in Afrikaans rondom die tema tegnologie laat ons met groot opgewondenheid oor die potensiaal van nuwe en jonger skrywers wat op die voorgrond tree.

I grew up in the hot, dusty Free State town of Odendaalsrus. Unfortunately it was much less attractive than the historic Graaff-Reinet, but we did share those exceptional night skies.
