Samantha Reinders (1996) and Pieter (Toast) Coetzer (1996)
Samantha and Toast met at Rhodes where they studied photo-journalism as ungergrads. They have recently launched the Key to Cape Town an insider’s guide to exploring the Mother City. It’s a book that will appeal to any red-blooded Capetonian who doesn’t want to miss out on what tourists see and do. The book will inform you about standard tourist attractions as well as off-beat destinations and activities. Key to Cape Town is dedicated to Monty Cooper (1969) who was their photo-journalist lecturer at Rhodes who passed away a few years ago from malaria. Toast is a senior staff writer with Weg and Go and Sam freelances for various clients, mostly overseas. They team up regularly to do assignments and will be heading back to Namibia at the end of this month for another assignment. While Toast mainly concentrates on writing the text Sam takes the pictures.

Toast Coetzer (1996)
Toast has also written his own book called Naweek about Sex, drugs & rock ’n roll... Toast Coetzer’s prose debut draws the reader through the ecstasy but also the frightening ups and downs of the rock world. His novella deals specifically with the drug-induced retrogression of an Afrikaans rocker. It is retrogression in more ways than one, as the story is also told backwards.
It begins with the death notice of the hero, a certain Le Roux (Maanhaar) Basson, and step by the step the reader is taken back, and one is forced to walk backwards to the incident that heralded Maanhaar’s swan song. And walking backwards, the reader then realises, means looking in a different way, experiencing in a different way, and being at the mercy, as it were, of the distorted logic brought about by drugs and the adoration of thousands.

David is part of the editorial staff of a business to business publication, and is married with a baby son. He has edited, In the Words of Desmond Tutu, which is a collection of some of Nobel Peace Prize laureate Archbishop Desmond Mpilo Tutu's most famous and inspiring quotes. The book conveys the intelligence, dignity, steadfastness and much admired wit with which he goes about his work. In doing so it shows how he has come to symbolise and indeed mould a growing movement for global justice. The words collected in this book promises to provide inspiration in confronting challenges of discrimination and moral uncertainty which we all face, individually or collectively.
On Apartheid
"For goodness’ sake, will they hear, will white people hear what we are trying to say? Please, all we are asking you to do is to recognise that we are humans, too."
On Christianity
"The Christian faith has been responsible for some of the most horrendous atrocities and we who are Christians ought to be a great deal more modest."
On Homosexuality
"We struggled against apartheid in South Africa, supported by people the world over, because black people were being blamed and made to suffer for something we could do nothing about; our very skins … It is the same with sexual orientation. It is a given."

Pieter-Dirk Uys (D.Litt. (Hon.),1997)
Pieter-Dirk Uys was born in Cape Town in 1945 and has been in the theatre since the mid-1960s. Closely associated with both the Space Theatre in Cape Town and Johannesburg's Market Theatre during the 1970s and 1980s, he has written and performed 20 plays and over 30 revues and one-man shows throughout South Africa and abroad.
His plays Paradise is Closing Down, Panorama, God's Forgotten, Faces in the Wall and Just Like Home have been performed internationally, and his one-man shows Adapt or Dye, One Man One Volt, You ANC Nothing Yet, Truth Omissions, Live from Boerassic Park, Dekaffirnated, and Foreign Aids have been presented in the United Kingdom, Denmark, Germany, Holland, the USA and Canada. His performance of Foreign Aids at La Mama received the Obie Award in New York in 2004
Pieter-Dirk Uys has been doing this sort of thing for so long that people now refer to it as a career. Officially unemployed since the early 1970s, he writes, directs, acts, produces and does everything else, including the making of dresses and the wearing of them! Having survived the mediocrity of apartheid kultuur, it is his therapy and his joy to expose the bones of that dinosaur for the entertainment of democratic audiences worldwide. He is delighted to still have a government that on a daily basis write his best material!
Most of Uys's satirical work was available in South Africa on video (and still is, on DVD) and so, in spite of government censorship during apartheid, he built up a very large multiracial audience. Members of the present democratic parliament remember seeing his videos while in exile and in prison!
A prolific writer in many genres, his novel, Trekking to Teema, was South Africa's first internet book in 2000, before being published in tree-format. He has also written Evita Bezuidenhout's biography, A Part Hate A Part Love, as well as a book based on his 12-part 1994 MNET television series, Funigalore, in which Evita Bezuidenhout, his most famous creation, interviewed the new democratic government's leaders, including Nelson Mandela. In 2003, Uys premiered a new play, Auditioning Angels, and published his first volume of memoirs, Elections and Erections. A second volume of memoirs, Between the Devil and the Deep, became a bestseller throughout South Africa in 2005.
Pieter-Dirk Uys was awarded South Africa's prestigious Truth and Reconciliation Award in 2001, as well as honorary degrees from Rhodes 老虎机游戏_pt老虎机-平台*官网 (D.Litt.Hon. 1997), the 老虎机游戏_pt老虎机-平台*官网 of Cape Town (D.Litt.Hon. 2003), the 老虎机游戏_pt老虎机-平台*官网 of the Western Cape (D.Edu.Hon. 2003) and the 老虎机游戏_pt老虎机-平台*官网 of the Witwatersrand (D.Litt.Hon. 2004). Pieter-Dirk Uys' celebrated alter-ego, Evita Bezuidenhout, proudly received the Living Legacy 2000 Award in San Diego, USA.
Since 2000 Pieter-Dirk Uys has been travelling around South Africa, visiting over 1.5 million school children, as well as prisons and reformatories, with a free AIDS-awareness entertainment called For Facts Sake!. He has also released a corporate AIDS-information video, Having Sex with Pieter-Dirk Uys, as well as the family-friendly video, Survival Aids, and Just a Small Prick!, a treatment of the fears surrounding testing for HIV.
Recent successes include Evita for President, which he has performed in London, Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban, and Elections & Erections, which he performed in Durban, Johannesburg and Cape Town in the run-up to the 2009 election, and toured to the USA in both 2008 and 2009. In September 2008, Evita Bezuidenhout launched her own political party, Evita’s People’s Party (EPP), to assist with voter education in preparation for the 2009 general election. Uys also directed his latest play, Macbeki, at the Market Theatre, Johannesburg, in April 2009. In 2010 Uys published a cookbook, Evita's Kossie Sikelela, and added Desperate First Ladies and F.A.K. Songs and Other Struggle Anthems to his repertoire
Pieter-Dirk Uys lives in Darling, where he has converted the old railway station into a cabaret venue called EVITA SE PERRON, famous for its satirical garden, called Boerassic Park, and the domain of Evita Bezuidenhout, the 'most famous white woman in South Africa'. The unique museum/nauseum of apartheid artefacts there, reflecting the madness of the past, is arguably the only satirical exhibition of South Africa’s recent past.

Andrew de Klerk (1998)
The International Rugby Encyclopedia 2009 has been almost 18 years in the making. It is the complete international rugby encyclopedia that has researched and presents every single recognized international ever played by the traditional top eight nations (since 1871 when Scotland took on England) that is well illustrated and structured, featuring stories on the great players to have graced the game, the great matches to have captivated the crowds and the great stadiums to have hosted these internationals. The chief feature of the book is its comprehensive content that covers each of the top eight nations.
Andrew grew up in Grahamstown where Saturday morning rugby matches between the various schools of the region were strongly attended and vociferously supported by the locals. He has a BSc (Hons) in Geology. His job as an environmental geologist takes him all over the world, which suits him perfectly as it affords him some unique opportunities between flights to check out international rugby matches, stadiums, museums, players and administrators, in his never-ending quest for the tiniest detail on a perhaps long-forgotten test match. Andrew is an avid bird-watcher and loves the bush (he once spent a year as a game ranger at Mala Mala near the Kruger National Park). He is a member of the Geological Society of South Africa, is married and lives in Johannesburg.

In The Zone written by Tim Goodenough and Michael Cooper is a combination of; 15 “behind the scenes-how did they do that?” type interviews with top South African men and women, and the technical detail that explains their high performance stories. Gary Player, Natalie Du Toit, Jonty Rhodes, Lucas Radebe, Naas Botha and Sherylle Calder are interviewed amongst others. The authors set out to define “mental toughness” – what is it and how can I get some of that? From their in-depth interviews they discovered that not only did all the great sportspeople interviewed have common mental skills, beliefs and strategies; they had 13 unique skills that occurred time and time again. This book is part biography, part textbook and part self development guide that sheds light on the “black box” of mental toughness in a powerful way whilst going a long way to answer the question, “What made our sporting heroes great?”
