This is the sequel to African Ways. It tells what happened next in Valerie Poore's life in South Africa's rural Kwa-Zulu Natal in the 1980s. More bittersweet than the first book, Val and her family move down the mountain from the farm where they spent the three happy years described in African Ways. In this second book, life changes dramatically for the author and her small daughters, but the anecdotes she shares are still filled with colour, humour and everything that she loves about Africa and its people.

Ron McGregor is a South African tour-guide and writer. This book - now in it's 4th edition - was written in response to popular demand for a book about South Africa that isn't too weighty or academic. Until recently, there was no such single book, so Ron sat down and wrote it. And, because it was written to entertain as much as to educate, he stuck to his raconteurial style. It's an easy read, but not a shallow one. Maps and diagrams to accompany the text were produced by graphic-designer Lisa, Ron's wife. This is not just another guide book - it's a collection of the tales that the author tells as he crosses the country with his travelers. Much of it is historical fact. One reader remarked, "It is the best narrative of South African history I have ever read. It should be in every school curriculum, and compulsory reading for the diplomatic corps!" However, it's far more than mere history. History doesn't just happen, it happens for a reason - many reasons. Geography, climate and vegetation all play their roles in determining the fates of nations, so these are also covered. There's folklore, and legend, food and drink, and even a guide to vocabulary. And, of course, there are heroes. From Paul Kruger and Winston Churchill, to Jan Christian Smuts and Nelson Mandela, some formidable actors have graced the South African stage, and they have their chapters in these pages. From the Dawn of Mankind to the Darkness of Apartheid, and our current faltering steps into the light of liberation, the South African Story tells it all. There's no other book quite like it.

This is the story of a young woman’s first encounters with rural South Africa. Coming from the all-mod-cons society of Britain at the beginning of the 1980’s, the author is literally transplanted to a farm in the foothills of the Drakensberg mountains in what is now Kwazulu Natal. Once there, she finds her feet in the ways of Africa with the help of a charming, elderly Dutch couple, an appealing but wily African farm hand, his practical and motherly daughter and a wise and fascinating neighbour who has a fund of local knowledge. These are tales of a different kind of life, which include living without electricity, hand-milking cows, drought, veld fires and mad-cap adventures into the unknown. They are stories told with deep affection and respect, and above all a liberal dose of tongue-in-cheek humour. Read more

"Described as...the greatest hunter of his day, Gordon-Cumming arrived at the Cape in 1843...hunted in Africa for five years until 1849, later writing about his exploits in his bestselling autobiography." -When the Last Lion Roars (2018)"Roualeyn Gordon Cumming gave a terrible description of a night attack upon his camp, when a lion bounded over the thorn fence." -Samuel Baker, Wild Beasts and Their Ways"There was a demand for books, such as Roualeyn George Gordon Cumming's...which briefly outsold Dickens...described how he had been mauled by a lion during a hunt with Tswana tribesmen." -Lion (2010)"Swashbuckling Scottish adventurer and self-proclaimed lion hunter, Roualeyn Gordon-Cumming...his...enthusiasm for the hunt bordered on the lunatic." -Wild Karoo (2018)Why is Roualeyn Gordon-Cumming considered by many of his hunting peers to be the greatest African big game hunter of his time?In 1915, a book containing the most interesting and engaging writings on African big game hunting by Roualeyn George Gordon-Cumming was published posthumously in 1915 under the title of "The Lion Hunter." It is this book that has been republished here at a low price for the convenience of the interested reader.Among the mighty hunters of this Arcadian epoch none achieved greater celebrity than Roualeyn Gordon-Cumming, subsequently known everywhere as "the lion hunter." After five years of continuous forays amongst the big game of South Africa, which led him into regions never before entered by white men, this intrepid and persistent Highlander freighted a ship with his trophies of the chase, made of them a museum that was famous throughout England, and became the social lion of the season. He published a narrative of his adventures that had an immense sale wherever English was read.Roualeyn George Gordon-Cumming (1820 -1866) was a Scottish traveller and sportsman, known as the "lion hunter." From his early years he was distinguished by his passion for sport. He was educated at Eton, England, and at eighteen joined the East India Company's service as a cornet in the Madras Light Cavalry. In 1843 he joined the Cape Mounted Rifles, but for the sake of absolute freedom sold out at the end of the year and with an ox wagon and a few native followers set out for the interior of Africa. He hunted chiefly in Bechuanaland and the valley of the Limpopo River, regions then swarming with big game.The story of his exploits is vividly told in his autobiography, later excerpted and republished as "The Lion Hunter." Of this volume, received at first with incredulity by stay-at-home critics, David Livingstone, who furnished Gordon-Cumming with most of his native guides, wrote: "I have no hesitation in saying that Mr. Cumming's book conveys a truthful idea of South Africa."

South Africa is popularly perceived as the most influential nation in Africa – a gateway to an entire continent for finance, trade and politics, and a crucial mediator in its neighbours' affairs. On the other hand, post-Apartheid dreams of progress and reform have, in part, collapsed into a morass of corruption, unemployment and criminal violence.A Short History of South Africa is a brief, general account of the history of this most complicated and fascinating country – from the first evidence of hominid existence to the wars of the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries that led to the establishment of modern South Africa, the horrors of Apartheid and the optimism following its collapse, as well as the prospects and challenges for the future.This readable and thorough account, illustrated with maps and photographs, is the culmination of a lifetime of researching and teaching the broad spectrum of South African history.Nattrass's passion for her subject shines through, whether she is elucidating the reader on early humans in the cradle of humankind, or describing the tumultuous twentieth-century processes that shaped the democracy that is South Africa today.

The South Africa Reader is an extraordinarily rich guide to the history, culture, and politics of South Africa. With more than eighty absorbing selections, the Reader provides many perspectives on the country's diverse peoples, its first two decades as a democracy, and the forces that have shaped its history and continue to pose challenges to its future, particularly violence, inequality, and racial discrimination.
