Tony Leon, longest serving leader of the opposition in democratic SA and acclaimed columnist and analyst, goes behind the scenes of what happened when history was being made in this country and around the world. His first-hand account from a front-row seat at critical moments provides frank and informed opinion. He ranges in this book: his ringside role in the formation of the recent Government of National Unity following the 2024 elections a reappraisal – based on close encounters – of some of the giants who made modern South Africa and the wider world, including FW de Klerk, Nelson Mandela, Harry Oppenheimer Ariel Sharon, Yassir Arafat, Boris Johnson, and the leaders of Argentina. He writes of life in modern politics, from the purgatory of social media to the perils of fundraising in tough times and the leaderless world led often by mediocre or populist grifters, far removed from the statesmen and women these times demand. In Being There, Leon reflects, too, on the nostalgia we often feel, through pain and pride, of childhood, school and the many ‘what ifs’ which inform a well-lived and varied life on the frontlines of South Africa and its history-in-the-making.  And how a wrong turn, or too few votes, can change the course of one life. Written with his customary blend of humour and flair and with an eye on the future and what the present and the past foretell about it, Leon’s new book is both important and highly readable.

He is speaking in a hushed tone, as if this is a forbidden subject. 'He said there were twins here, boys. He said their father died on the day they were born.' He stops and squints as if trying to remember something. 'I'm not sure if I'm getting the story right, but there were other twins before, but they all died. The father must have done something because these two lived, only them, and then he died. They were good children, that's what my father said, but then one day they must have been 14 years old...' He stops when he hears a gasp. 'What happened? What did they do?' Qhawe asks. 'They killed a priest. He was one of those that were recruiting people to join a church, and most people here believed him and followed him. He built a school and stuff. The twins went to that school. But he must have made them very angry because...' 'How did they kill him?'-Mqhele The man shrugs before he speaks. 'From what I was told, they slit his throat and left him sitting on a chair, bleeding to death.' There's silence. The man is telling the story like its an urban legend, but they know, it is a familiar one. 'Is that what you wanted to know?' the man asks, looking at Sisekelo. He doesn't answer.

A perfect reading companion for runners. In 1982, having sold his jazz bar to devote himself to writing, Murakami began running to keep fit.

Bloei + Blom, ’n prag, volkleur, koffietafelboek in hardeband, is die breinkind van Nataniël. Dit bevat die stories van meer as 200 Afrikaanse baanbrekers en mavericks van die afgelope eeu – mense wat onopsigtelik, of skouspelagtig en ten aanskoue van die ganse wêreld grense verskuif het. Onder diegene tel uitvinders en entrepreneurs, skrywers en kunstenaars, sjefs, tuiniers, argitekte, wynmakers, botaniste en boere, modeontwerpers en operasangers, filosowe, opvoeders, medici en akteurs en nog vele, vele meer, geskryf deur meer as 70 joernaliste, bekende én onbekende skrywers, familielede, oudstudente of vriende.  Het jy byvoorbeeld geweet Louis Leipoldt het as ’n mediese student in Londen vir die beroemde Franse sjef Auguste Escoffier ’n waterblommetjiebredie gekook terwyl hy ekstra geld verdien het as skottelgoedwasser in die Savoy-hotel? Dat die klein Taliep Petersen pak gekry het vir sy gesloer na skool omdat hy eers vir die jazz-musikante deur die vensters van Distrik se Zambezi-restaurant wou loer?  Of dat Anton Rupert sy entrepreneurstande as die eienaar van ’n droogskoonmakery geslyp het; ’n jong Rassie Erasmus die Springbokkapteinskap van die hand gewys het omdat hy “te veel kuier”; Albert Einstein gereken het Jan Smuts is een van ’n hand vol mense wat sy relatiwiteitsteorie eintlik verstaan; en dat ’n internasionale danser soos Johaar Moseval, wat die verhoog met Margot Fonteyn en Rudolf Nurejef gedeel het, op sy sterfbed vir “lekke’ kos en lekke’ warme tea” sou vra ... Boonop word hierdie stories deur meer as 250 foto’s geïllustreer, waarvan enkele onder Nataniël se kreatiewe leiding spesiaal gestileer en geneem is as ’n bonus vir die leser.  Bloei + Blom is enig in sy soort. Afrikaans is nog nooit só gevier nie.

Mathews Phosa has been an eyewitness to the dramatic shifts of political power in South Africa. He was involved in the Black Consciousness Movement, the UDF and the ANC, before fleeing into exile in 1985 and becoming an Umkhonto weSizwe commander in Mozambique. A lawyer by training, he was one of the first ANC members to return to South Africa to prepare the way for negotiations. He was premier of Mpumalanga during the presidency of Nelson Mandela, with whom he had a strong relationship. Under Thabo Mbeki, whom he had known in exile, Phosa was pushed to the sidelines, with false accusations that he was involved in a ‘plot’ to overthrow the president. Phosa had served under Jacob Zuma as an MK field commander in Mozambique, and he became treasurer-general of the ANC when Zuma became its president at Polokwane. But Phosa later became a vocal critic of Zuma, and they didn’t speak for years, until the night before Zuma’s resignation. Phosa and Cyril Ramaphosa had studied law together at the University of the North in the 1970s, and fifty years later Phosa played a key role in advising him over the Phala Phala report that threatened to end his presidency. Witness to Power is a gripping story of underground activities, military operations, negotiations, political conflict and intrigue. It provides fascinating new insights into the ruling party and its leaders by an ANC elder who worked with them all.

But the journey into the past does not come without risks: customers must sit in a particular seat, they cannot leave the cafe, and finally, they must return to the present before the coffee gets cold . . .Continue the beautiful storytelling with Tales from the Cafe and Before Your Memory Fades.
