    Sample

    It was the beginning of 1976 and life was good. White South Africans danced along to Queen and ABBA. There was huge anticipation of the pending All Black rugby tour in July – and at last South Africa had TV! And then came the Soweto student uprising in June. It was the end of normal, setting in motion a series of events that culminated in the negotiated settlement of 1994. Max du Preez, born and raised in a conservative Afrikaner Christian Nationalist family, witnessed the first stones thrown on 16 June – and the first shots fired – as a young newspaper reporter. That was also the end of his normal. In the half-century since those seismic days, Du Preez has had a front-row seat to South Africa’s darkest and brightest moments. The End of Normal: Witness to the Unravelling of White Power in South Africa explores how otherwise decent people came to implement and support the evil system of apartheid. He examines the long-term impact of 16 June and takes a hard look at attitudes today, in particular the recent resurgence of Afrikaner nationalism.

    ‘Ons sal hierdeur kom’ – DF Fyfer

    DF Fyfer van Bhetjane Cattle Co is lank genoeg ’n boer om die sielkundige impak en stres van boerdery te verstaan. “Dit is nie net jou eie toekoms wat op die spel is nie, maar die nalatenskap van jou voorouers en die toekoms van jou kinders.”In die Bly Boer-onderhoud met Reza Clifford gesels hy oor die boer wat “24/7 in sy fabriek woon en nie van sy bron van stres kan wegkom nie”.Tog meen hy dit is goed om terug te kyk voordat jy vorentoe kyk.“Jy weet waardeur jou oupa en jou oupagrootjies voor jou is. Hoeveel droogtes was daar al? Die rentekoerse in die negentigs was 27%. Brandstofprys het in die sewentigs verdubbel. Ons is al deur ’n enorme klomp goed, en ons is steeds hier. Ek glo ons sal hierdeur kom.”

    The Three Comma Club - How BILLIONAIRES Think, Act & Shape Our World

    'If you can count your money, you don't have a billion dollars.’ — Paul Getty The Three Comma Club is the most exclusive club in the world. Its members include pop stars and politicians, inventors and industrialists, media magnates and mining moguls, heirs and heirs-in-waiting. Each has crossed a threshold marked by nine zeroes separated by three commas. Each is blessed or burdened with more money than they could spend in a dozen lifetimes. There are just over 3,000 of them, a minuscule sliver of humanity. And yet they wield enormous power over economies, governments, and society at large. They are despised as much as they are admired, envied as much as they are courted. These are the billionaires. Welcome to a guided tour of a world where money has slipped its earthly bounds.
