Tswana for beginners is a functional grammar explaining the meaning, structure and use of the various word categories. Well-formulated objectives and self-assessment questions enable students to study independently. Tswana for beginners was compiled to serve as a progression from Practical Tswana vocabulary and phrases (published by Via Afrika) and is integrated with the data contained in the trilingual dictionary Dikiinare ya Setswana-English-Afrikaans Dictionary/Woordeboek (Via Afrika). This grammar for beginners can therefore serve as an introduction to a more comprehensive knowledge of the Tswana language and culture.

This volume focuses on analysing the meaning of proverbs within Africa. The context in which a proverb is uttered, determines meaning, so this increases the difficulty of explaining proverbs exhaustively.

The third volume in the series examines the role of anti-apartheid movements around the world and their success in both creating awareness of the liberation struggle in South Africa, and in contributing to the downfall of the apartheid government. This volume, in two parts, brings together analysis written by activist scholars with deep roots in the movements and organisations they are writing about. This first part focuses on International Solidarity with the liberation struggle. It covers the contribution of various international organisations, governments and their peoples, and solidarity organisations, to the liberation struggle in South Africa. In particular, the roles of nine western European countries are discussed: West Germany; Belgium; Austria; France; The Netherlands; Portugal; Spain; Greece and Switzerland. The second part focuses on African solidarity, with an emphasis on the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) and its Liberation Committee; various countries in the southern African region, including the role that Tanzania and Zambia played; as well as countries in west, east and North Africa. This is a major resource for historians, scholars and anyone interested in the history of South Africa, and will be valued by future generations for its sensitive collection of highly significant historical material.

<div>A prominent mystic and renowned anti-colonial warrior from Indonesia, Shaykh Yusuf of Macassar (1626-1699) was exiled to South Africa, where he played a pioneering role in laying the foundations of Islam. Offering a rich translation of Shaykh Yusuf's Arabic writings, Spiritual Path, Spiritual Reality fills an important gap on the works devoted to the spiritual dimension in the Muslim intellectual archive. The introduction gives insight into his life and an understanding of how his mysticism was connected to his political engagement. Focusing on Islamic mysticism --known as Sufism--Spiritual Path, Spiritual Reality covers areas of spiritual discipline of the self, metaphysics, and gnostic knowledge. The style is pedagogical with an instructive tone in keeping with the Sufi path.</div>

Escape from Lubumbashi: A Refugee's Journey on Foot to Reunite Her Family

Neethling, Estelle

This book follows the career of an English aristocrat, Christopher Bethell, who arrived in Southern Africa in 1878 as the classic "remittance" man, despatched to the colonies to avoid a scandal at home. Bethell, an intelligence officer and later, a border agent, facilitated the acquisition of arms for Montshiwa's Ratshidi-Barolong to resist the depredations of freebooters, mercenaries based mostly in the Transvaal. In his alliance with Kgosi Montshiwa Tawana, Bethell identified with Kgosi Montshiwa's struggle to maintain political independence and economic security. The alliance was further cemented by Bethell's marriage to a Morolong woman, Tepo Boapile - an unusual occurrence in nineteenth century Southern Africa. Surrounded by aggressive freebooters from across their eastern border with the Transvaal and the ambiguous forces of colonial advancement from the Cape colony and Britain, Montshiwa and Bethell formed an unlikely but enduring relationship aimed at safeguarding Rolong interests. As the Bechuanaland Wars of the early to mid-1880s intensified in brutality, Montshiwa and his Chief of Staff, Christopher Bethell, were forced into desperate measures to defend the Rolong and avoid outright dispossession. Bethell's demise was the trigger for firm British imperial intervention, the securing of the Road to the North, and events that determined the fate of Africans in South and Central Africa. This book is a reminder that, in the author's words, "past relations between South Africa's different races were characterised as much by collusion and collaboration as they were by hostility, friction and dissent.
