Toe die son een oggend taaierig loskom uit die greep van Goudveldse mynhope, skop Joe Smit sy slaapkamerdeur oop, stap tot by die dubbelbed waar twee figure vervaard probeer orent kom en trek die sneller van sy 9 mm Astra twee keer. Hy klim in sy ou Mazda en ry noord, weg van die plek waar alles vir hom begin en geëindig het, en terug in sy verlede in.
Dis die goudstormloop van die 1880's. Hebsug, verraad en passie is aan die orde van die dag. Beeldskone en vasberade Deborah von Albein word gedwing om hul familieplaas te verlaat en verhuis na die goudstad Johannesburg. Te midde van onrusbarende uitdagings moet sy kies tussen Kit Malloy, 'n ambisieuse dobbelsaloneienaar, en Karl Mannheim, eksentrieke erfgenaam van die Mannheim-fortuin. Onvermydelike konfrontasies volg. En so begin die drieluik van Die Mannheim-sage...

Daniel is visiting Grandpa and Grandma. At bedtime Grandpa reads him a story about a brave soldier. Grandma sings a song about a brave mouse running up a clock. Now Daniel has to sleep. But the bed does not feel as comfortable as his own bed. The room looks darker than his own room. And he hears a strange noise on the roof. It sounds like huge, heavy animals dancing and prancing around the chimney. "Grandpa!" Daniel cries. "Grandpa, I hear something on the roof!" "What do you hear, Daniel?" Grandpa asks. "I think it might be rhinocephants, Grandpa. A whole herd of rhinocephants."

Delectable - Food From Rural France To Urban Cape
R 149Jy spaar R 301
Delectable is more than just a cookery book; it's about good living as much as it is about good food. Author Marlene van der Westhuizen uses her love of France and French country cooking to infuse local dishes with a particularly European flavour. The food she cooks is not haute cuisine - you will not find in this book small portions of foreign dishes with strange ingredients. On the contrary, Marlene cooks South African food (and dishes up enough to satisfy a South African appetite), but with a rural french twist. Delectable contains over 80 recipes and more than twice as many photographs, showcasing the scenery of the french countryside, detail of ancient french villages, the colour and vitality of markets and antique fairs, and, of course, the food! Recipes are interspersed with little-known treasures from the South African wine industry, ensuring that your table is laid with the food and drink of the gods. And just like the recipes, the layout and format of the book are simple, sleek, and easy-to-use, and heavyweight art-coated paper has been used to ensure that the photographs depict the french countryside as vividly as possible.

When South Africa's golden girl of broadcasting, Tracy Going's battered face was splashed across the media back in the late 1990s, the nation was shocked. South Africans had become accustomed to seeing Going, glamorous and groomed on television or hearing her resonant voice on Radio Metro and Kaya FM. Sensational headlines of a whirlwind love relationship turned horrendously violent threw the “perfect” life of the household star into disarray.
What had started off as a fairy-tale romance with a man who appeared to be everything that Going was looking for - charming, handsome and successful - had quickly descended into a violent, abusive relationship.
The rosy love cloud burst just five months after meeting her “Prince Charming” when she staggered into the local police station, bruised and battered. A short relationship became a two-and-a-half-year legal ordeal played out in the public eye. In mesmerising detail, Going takes us through the harrowing court process - a system seeped in injustice - her decline into depression, the immediate collapse of her career due to the highly public nature of her assault and the decades-long journey to undo the psychological damages in the search for safety and the reclaiming of self. The roots of violence form the backdrop of the book, tracing Going's childhood on a plot in Brits, laced with the unpredictable violence of an alcoholic father who regularly terrorized the family with his fists of rage.
“I was ashamed of my father, the drunk. If he wasn't throwing back the liquid in the lounge then he'd be finding comfort and consort in his cans at the golf club. With that came the uncertainty as I lay in my bed and waited for him to return. I would lie there holding my curtain tight in my small hand. I would pull the fabric down, almost straight, forming a strained sliver and I would peer into the blackness, unblinking. It seemed I was always watching and waiting. Sometimes I searched for satellites between the twinkles of light, but mostly the fear in my tummy distracted me.”

Monique Strydom is bekend as een van die 21 gyselaars wat in 2000 in die oerwoud op die Filippynse eiland Jolo deur die Abu Sayyaf-rebelle gyselaar gehou is.
Hul groep was in die hande van moorddadige terroriste, onder voortdurende aanval deur die weermag, moes deur hul onherbergsame grondgebied vir hul lewens hardloop, baie min kos en water gehad het en baie ander gevare ondervind. Die feit dat nie een van die gyselaars vermoor is nie, word gesien as 'n wonderwerk.
Vir Monique was haar ervaring op Jolo 'n buitengewone, lewensveranderende een. Sy het besluit om positief te bly en lesse uit haar teenspoed te trek. Op haar terugkeer het Monique besluit om haar lewe aan die mense van Suid-Afrika te wy, om Suid-Afrikaners te bedank vir hul ondersteuning en liefde en as manier om hierdie vriendelikheid terug te keer.
VRYGEKOOP is Monique se persoonlike ervaring van die moeilike tyd in die hande van die Abu Sayyaf. Dit is 'n getuienis van die vele wonderwerke wat die gyselaars gesien het en die krag wat daaruit voortgekom het. In die boek het Monique belangrike lesse geleer - hoe om vrees te oorwin, hoe om te vergewe, hoe om weer te lewe, hoe om God se roeping vir jou lewe te vind.
