This title is, based on stories derived from the oral tradition of the Xhosa-speaking peoples, particularly from the Tsolo and Qumbu districts in the former Transkei. ANC MP Pallo Jordan says that when his father, Archibald Campbell Jordan, was a lecturer in African languages at the University of Cape Town he would visit the older people in the townships to add to his collection of tales. One of his favourite haunts was a house in Stone Street in the then District Six. A number of men from the Tsolo and Qumbu districts, where he had spent his childhood, lived in the house. Every Thursday a woman and Qumbu, who worked in town, visited the house in Stone Street.

In Foreign Native, political commentator and author RW Johnson looks back with affection and humour on his life in Africa.\nFrom schooldays in Durban to later years as an Oxford don, director of the Helen Suzman Foundation and formidable political commentator, Johnson has produced an entertaining and occasionally eye-popping memoir brimming with history, anecdote and insight.\nJohnson charts his evolution from enthusiastic, left-leaning Africanist to political realist, relating episodes that influenced his intellectual worldview, including time spent among the exiled liberation movements in London during the 1960s, a sojourn in newly independent Guinea and more recent forays into Zimbabwe. There are wonderful stories, some hilarious, others filled with pathos, about the multitude of characters that he met along the way.\nPerceptive, critical and full of verve, Foreign Native is leavened with a deep humanity that is a pleasure to read.

'This book belongs on the shelf of every genuine rugby fan' - News24.com 
When Rassie Erasmus took over as coach of the Springboks in 2018, few thought they had a chance of winning the Rugby World Cup. The Boks had slipped to seventh in the world rankings and lost the faith of the rugby-loving public. Less than two years later, jubilant crowds lined the streets of South Africa’s cities to welcome back the victorious team. 
Sportswriter Lloyd Burnard takes the reader on the thrilling journey of a team that went from no-hopers to world champions. He examines how exactly this turnaround was achieved. Interviews with players, coaches and support staff reveal how the principles of inclusion, openness and focus, as well as careful planning and superb physical conditioning, became the basis for a winning formula. The key roles played by Rassie Erasmus and Siya Kolisi shine through. 
There were ups and downs along the way: beating the All Blacks in Wellington during the Rugby Championship was a high point, but then came Kolisi’s injury, while in Japan the distractions of a volatile support base sometimes shook the players’ focus. Miracle Men is filled with marvellous anecdotes and sharp insights. It is also inspiring testimony to what can be achieved when a group of South Africans from all backgrounds come together as a team.
