Who Killed the Chief? (ebook) by Nokuthula Sibiya

Who Killed the Chief?

Many a time I have heard that we are "pilgrims, sojourners" here on earth. The more I reflected on this, the more I realized that we are not just sojourners, the situation is worse than that. We are exiles who have lost our identity and all the rights of our spiritual heritage. Our situation can be likened to the descendants of a Chief who was killed and his heirs and heiresses were dispersed all over the world, ended up exiled, enslaved and without identity. In this way we have lost our spiritual membership and have forgotten who we really are.

African Journal of Rhetoric: Moments of Engagement - Power, Rhetoric and Protest

African Journal of Rhetoric

This maiden edition of the African Journal of Rhetoric is a collection of papers presented at the first colloquium of the African Association for Rhetoric (AAR) and papers that were later solicited from experienced researchers. This volume critically looks at the role that rhetoric plays during an impasse between Government and civil society. Some of the issues that occur in this volume range from the state of rhetorical studies in Africa to the nature and the nuanced extreme culture of protest in Africa. The volume also examines the activities of the different actors during protest, namely civil movements, the police, the judiciary and the executive as either sources or recipients of violent behaviour during protest. This is a multidisciplinary array of chapters and contributors. The group consists of both senior scholars and young researchers in Rhetoric, African studies, Law, Linguistics, Political Sociology, Psychology, Politics, Communication and Media Studies and Development Studies.

    Deadlines from the Edge by Hamilton Wende

    Deadlines from the EdgeYou must have seen them. Groups of them waiting for their heavy silver metal boxes to come off the luggage carousel at Heathrow, Rome, Paris, Tel Aviv, Johannesburg. They carry huge amounts of equipment into the world’s worst hellholes. They are always trying to get into a place when everyone else is trying to get out. They sit, red-eyed and exhausted, staring out of the windows of a plane as it circles over yet another burning African capital, wondering what will greet them when they arrive at an airport filled with soldiers in camouflage uniform. They are journalists – the fragile uncertain antennae of our electronic civilisation.

    Deadlines from the Edge is a collection of one such journalist’s stories about his journeys into different parts of the world while working as a television news producer in various parts of Africa, the Middle East and Afghanistan.

    True North by Hamilton Wende

    Nominated for the 1995 Sunday Times Alan Paton Award

    ImageLouis looked at me ‘So you want advice?’ He put his fork down. ‘Look here,’ he told me. ‘You’re lucky, things are changing at just the right time for someone like you. The whole of Africa is opening up to you. If I were your age, the first thing I would do is put on a rucksack and go north. I would go and see Africa, and write about what I saw.’

    Hamilton Wende returned to South Africa in 1991. Looking towards a career in journalism, he was advised to pack a rucksack and explore Africa. Like many South Africans, he had hardly been north of the Limpopo, and so over the next four years he travelled to and covered stories in Angola, Mozambique, Zambia, Malawi, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia, Tanzania, Uganda, Burundi and Rwanda. True North journeys through a continent filled with the starkest contrasts of the brutality of warfare and its consequences set against serene and beautiful backdrops of the African landscapes.

    Apple Tree Hero by Mel Jutson

    ImageIt’s Johannesburg, 1989, and a ruthless rush for ‘gold’ has created one of the most dangerous and tumultuous cities in the western world. Fifty years of self indulgence, subterfuge and bumbling racial politics have ignited in a frenzy of pantry-raiding and murderous cover-ups. It is the perfect setting for a hero’s trail.

    Ever since man peered out of his cave and saw the frightening world before him, he has assumed the mantle of ‘hero’ – on the battlefront, at work, and in the home. Women have traditionally been coerced into encouraging and applauding his efforts – or have they?

    In this dark thriller, based on actual events, our hero struggles between his destiny and his desires as he engages with a far from simpering heroine. Apple Tree Hero is a ground-breaking romp through the poems, art, music and movies that have chronicled the heroic triumph of good against evil, that monomyth adopted by virtually every society in the world.

The Visser family farm had been all but destroyed by British troops in the implementation of their scorched earth policy.

    Altyd die Liefde deur Floris Brown en Janneke Prins

    About the authors

    JANNEKE PRINS

    Als derde kind van Nederlandse ouders, had ik zo direkt na de oorlog een eenvoudige maar rustige jeugd. Wel wist ik al heel jong, dat het leven iets anders inhield als mij werd verteld, en beloofde mezelf dat uit te zoeken. Op de middelbare school, bedacht ik dat ik met mensen wilde werken en belandde zo in de gezondheidszorg.

    Door mijn drang naar avontuur ging ik al jong reizen, bleef enkele jaren in Canada en bij terugkomst voltooide ik mijn studie aan de sociale academie. Trouwde, kreeg twee dochters, werkte en volgde allerlei studies. Mijn liefde voor literatuur en poezie heeft me vaak gesteund in barre tijden, ik hoop hiervan een beetje door te geven aan de lezers van deze bundel.

    Veel liefde en geluk toegewenst - Janneke
