Cecile (Scholtz) Yazbek (1971)

Cecile Yasbek’s novel Voices on the Wind is a poignant story of Australian Eva’s search for her unknown Lebanese ancestors.  Cecile’s evocative recreations of the lives of Eva’s relatives fills in a blank past for Eva and gives the reader a rich insight into the Lebanese community of early nineteenth century South Africa.  The novel enters the world of the Lebanese diaspora, a community with more than a century’s presence in this country. Voices on the Wind pays homage to our forebears who left Mount Lebanon and split themselves between continents.  We read of their need to forge local relationships in the new land, dramas of legislation and national events beyond their control, dislocation and culture shock, and at the centre of it all…the women, often with nothing but their strength of character and will, holding us together down the generations.

Cecile has previously written a memoir of her life growing up as a Lebanese girl in South Africa, Olive Trees Around My Table, and an extremely popular and acclaimed vegetarian cookbook, Mezze to Milk Tart.

Sustainability, Climate Change and the Green Economy

Editors:  Godwell Nhamo, Vuyo Mjimba

Written by 18 authors, this book on Sustainability, Climate Change and the Green Economy brings together insights at the nexus of the four key concepts embedded in its title. The book is unpacked in six parts. Part 1 is a single chapter that covers the context of the topic. Part 2 looks at the green economy and green jobs, and addresses the challenges of government coordination and socio-economic development, with emphasis on skills and immigration regimes. Part 3 reflects on  sustainable development, with a focus on relearning our wants and needs, and provides critical reflection on engineering for sustainable development. Management of natural resources and  wetlands makes up Part 4, which teases  out issues on timber harvesting, as well as challenges and opportunities in addressing environment-economic development and growth conflicts. A critique of climate change coverage in news media, mainstreaming climate change into wildlife policies, and tourism, are matters covered in Part 5. The last part (Part 6) is another single chapter, which articulates emerging issues from the whole book and presents some policy and take-home messages. Given the growing literature in the field of sustainability, climate change and the green economy, this piece will prove a must-read for policy makers, academics, industry and civil society.

Godwell Nhamo is a Programme Manager for the Chair in Business and Climate Change hosted by the Institute for Corporate Citizenship (ICC) at the 老虎机游戏_pt老虎机-平台*官网 of South Africa (Unisa), which is sponsored by Exxaro Resources Ltd. He holds a PhD from Rhodes 老虎机游戏_pt老虎机-平台*官网 and did his postdoctoral work with the 老虎机游戏_pt老虎机-平台*官网 of Witwatersrand. Dr Nhamo has great interests in business and climate change as well as environmental management and policy. Some of his current responsibilities are in teaching, research and training in corporate citizenship, sustainability sciences as well as business and climate change.

 David Hilton-Barber (1953)

 The concession to mine gold at Tati was granted to a British baronet, Sir John Swinburne, by Lobengula, last king of the Matabele. Although called by colonial imperialists as a “savage king” and a “native despot”, Lobengula was “exceedingly well-made (in height about 6 ft 10 inches), corpulent, with a commanding presence and, when in a good temper, having a kind heart and a full appreciation of humour”.

The gold at Tati, which was discovered by the geologist Carl Mauch, was actually on the site of prehistoric diggings that had been mined there 400 years previously by the Makalanga people. Tati lay on the missionary road to the north, used by Livingstone and Moffat, and it was part of Cecil Rhodes’s dream of a continuous tract of British imperialism from Cape to Cairo. The annexation of Bechuanaland was a direct result of the conflicts between the tribes within the area and the threats from President Kruger and from Germany which had recently colonised Angra Pequena.

Gold from the early diggings here found its way to Great Zimbabwe and the famous golden rhinocerous from Mapungubwe was probably fashioned from gold mined at Tati. This forgotten corner of the subcontinent encapsulates a chapter of our history involving five countries,
powerful men, much subterfuge, a botched invasion, a rebellion, land annexation, prospectors, hunters, traders and adventurers. It is a story begging to be told.

Margaret James (1972)

The Honey Ant Readers are a unique and innovative series of learn-to-read books with complementary resources, developed for Australian Indigenous learners, with traditional Elders, to make literacy learning relevant, meaningful, engaging and fun.

The HARs, underpinned by empirical and theoretical research, include books in Aboriginal languages, light Aboriginal English and Standard Australian English. They actively support the maintenance of Indigenous languages and culture, and the first 3 HARs are available in 7 traditional Aboriginal languages with audio CD.

Research shows that learners whose first language is not English, make faster progress in reading, and read with deeper comprehension, when the material is familiar to them, even though the language may not be. (So much of the material currently available is heavily Anglo-centric, culturally inappropriate and has little relevance for students in remote communities where little, if any, Standard English is spoken.)

The first edition of the Honey Ant Readers includes features of light Aboriginal English (AE), in  the first 10 books, with the text gradually and systemically moving  into colloquial Standard English (SAE)  across the 10 books. This is done by following the natural order in which speakers of other languages have been shown to acquire the grammatical structures of Standard English.

Materials for very young, emergent readers include A5 pictures with matching words, card sets, board games, activity books, drawing books and songs and rhymes. All of which encourage interactive learning and prepare the young beginners for reading. The 123 colourful conversation cards are used to encourage oral and written language, as well as for counselling, role play and many other games and activities. A significant and popular adjunct to the reading materials are activities which have a focus on phonics and grammar, such as original songs and rhymes. These assist learners of English as an additional language in acquiring Standard Australian English.

The HARs teach reading by incorporating aspects of Aboriginal English into the text and building oral Standard Australian English through songs and rhymes.

We know that it is very difficult for people to learn to read and write in a language they do not speak.

We also know that once a person can read in one language, they can transfer that skill to another.

With the Honey Ant Readers, learners learn to read in the language they speak in the playground, their lingua franca, while giving that language respect. In the case of many Indigenous Australians this is a form of Aboriginal English. The learners can then transfer their reading skills to reading and writing in Standard Australian English.

At the same time the Honey Ant Readers reinforce and teach oral Standard Australian English through rhymes and songs, written specifically with Aboriginal English speakers in mind. Once Standard Australian English has been acquired orally, learning to read in that language is easier because it is meaningful.

Penguin Random House South Africa

Steuart Pennington (1971)

SOUTH AFRICA @ 20:  for Better or for Worse?  The dawn of 20 years of democracy is upon us.  Are we building the kind of country we want for our children?  Are we celebrating achievements while also confronting challenges?  Is there a clear vision for the future of South Africa?  Steuart Pennington’s latest book – the 10^th in the Good News series – provides thought provoking views and insightful perspectives to tough questions and real concerns about South Africa. 

25 ‘True or False’ chapters confronting our daily narrative

42 Prominent South African and international contributors

The 224-page book is beautifully illustrated, with more than 200 ‘Fast Facts’, tables, graphs and images.

Our narrative is bedevilled with conventional wisdom madness.  Rumours, half-truths and sensationalist reporting are very much part of the way we talk.  In SOUTH AFRICA @20:  for Better or for Worse?, we have selected 25 provocative topics to explore.  Among them:

 “Our university standards are dropping.”

 “It’s not ‘if’ we will end up like Zimbabwe, it’s ‘when’.”

 “Our global competitiveness is terminally in decline.”

 “SA remains one of the most unequal societies in the world.”

 “Our trade unions are out of control.”

 “SA will run out of water.”

 “Our productivity is the lowest in the world.”

 “Our pay gap remains one of the worst in the world.”

 “Ex-pats slag us off at every opportunity.”

 We approached 42 prominent South Africans to write rebuffs. These include Pali Lehohla (Statistician General), John Robbie (702), Thulani Nzima (CEO, SA Tourism), Rowan Philp (award-winning journalist), Arno van der Merwe (Mercedes-Benz SA)and many more. They tell us the truth, show us the facts and expose the myths.

Presentations and interactive talks relating to the content of the book are delivered by Steuart Pennington.

On the Shoulders of Oldenburg:  A Biography of the Academic Rating System in South Africa. The book is an easy read, comprehensive, insightful and is brought to life by the reference to the various persons interviewed for the book.  More importantly, it captures divergent views on the NRF rating system of evaluation and rating and places thes in perspective.  Given the impact of the NRF rating system on South Africa's National System of Innovation (NSI), the biography assumes an even greater degree of importance.

Say again? The other side of South African English Besides recognisable characteristics of South African English, such as ‘Vrystaat’, ‘ou boet’ / ‘ou swaer’, ‘eksê’ or ‘nogal’, speakers of South African English give clear indications – even if their accent is not marked – of their being South African. Many of our South African English structures have unexpected meanings or usages which are not found in General English. South Africans are also, like their counterparts elsewhere, linguistically creative, and have coined many new English words and phrases. You may readily recognise some of these items, but there will be others which you will be surprised to learn are unique to South Africa. It is this, as much as our accent and the borrowings, which makes South African English quite as distinctive as any other World English.

Would you, for instance, recognise South African English if you came across debates about labour brokers or transformation; or if you heard of someone who was making eggs, ordering monkey gland sauce, having a cadenza, busy dying or taking their pavement special to the vet? Would you identify a fellow South African if you were told that she still told you about something, or that someone is a real Model C, or that the teachers are threatening a chalkdown? And what about the children playing doctor-doctor – are they South African?

Maybe you have been surprised when you came across an overseas visitor who was waiting impatiently because someone had promised to meet her just now but had not yet arrived ten minutes later. Maybe you confused the visitor further by replying, ‘No, I’m fine’ when she inquired after your health.

And what about the person who says she is having a boyfriend in Jo’burg, or threw the cat with a stone, or forgot her jersey at the restaurant or enjoys hot-hot chips? Or perhaps he tells someone that a situation is very, very dire and that he therefore needs an advice? These may sound strange – or even incorrect – to some, but it is still English, just a different type of English: South African English.

All of these are examples of the unique English elements of the English that has been made in South Africa. And this book aims to regale you with many examples of South African English. An understanding of these items can be useful and enlightening to South Africans themselves in our linguistically rainbowed nation, as well as to strangers in our midst, who may well wonder what on earth we are talking about.

Written in an accessible style, each chapter features words and phrases from different aspects of life – some serious and some not so serious – with actual examples of usage from written and spoken sources. All this is interspersed with pictures and illustrations that liven up the text. Book available at Pharos.

Ralph Goldswain (1963)

Did you know the term ‘roughing it’ comes from the tent city at Algoa Bay?  Or that the settlers carried grain rations from Grahamstown on their backs for kilometres?  One even called her new home ‘the most miserable country in the world’. 

1820 descendant Ralph Goldswain retells the tale of the settlers’ dramatic first three years in South Africa in lively first-person accounts.  Their letters, journals and diaries tell of the dangerous sea voyage, the dismal introduction to their new country, and establishing farms in a difficult environment plagued by drought, floods and locusts.

An engaging read with a delightful narrative touch, we journey with this resilient group of people as they battle nature, an increasingly hostile Xhosa nation and an exploitative colonial government.

Fishing is one of the most ancient forms of hunting and has spawned an astonishing variety of innovative methods and equipment used to outwit and catch fishes and other aquatic animals. Traditional fishing methods of Africa addresses a much neglected but very important part of Africa’s technological heritage: its indigenous fishing technologies.

These ancient technologies, developed and used over a period of 10 000 years, are still in use in rural Africa today to harvest aquatic resources in a sustainable way. This has ignited renewed interest in their potential to encourage long-term and sustainable use of fish stocks. Brilliantly illustrated and clearly written, this book serves as a perfect introduction to a fascinating topic that will enhance your appreciation of indigenous knowledge systems in Africa.

About the author

Mike Bruton studied zoology and social anthropology at Rhodes 老虎机游戏_pt老虎机-平台*官网 and has had a lifelong interest in indigenous knowledge systems. He took a keen interest in the traditional fishing methods of the rural people of Zululand, Mozambique and Botswana while conducting research on fishes there. He has made extensive collections of traditional fishing gear and has continued to pursue this interest during his further travels in Africa and the Indian Ocean Islands. He was also instrumental in establishing an Angling Museum in Knysna that includes traditional fishing gear.

Bound for Pretoria:  The Travel Writings of Henry Adams, 1878-1879

Edited by Fiona Adams (1985)

In the late 1870s a young English writer, Henry Adams, accompanied the first Anglican Bishop of Pretoria on a voyage to South Africa. This was followed by an arduous four-month trek by ox-wagon through Natal to Pretoria, against the backdrop of the lead-up to the Anglo-Zulu War. Henry Adams wrote 32 articles about the journey and their first few weeks in Pretoria, which were published in a small English newspaper under the title 'Bound for Pretoria'. His writing career ended when he became a priest shortly after arriving in South Africa. When he died in tragic circumstances 13 years later, both he and his travel writings were quickly forgotten.

The articles were rediscovered in 2015 by Rhodes alumnus Fiona Adams (B.Journ 1988), one of Henry Adams' great-granddaughters. She has now published them in a 332-page annotated collection as a way of reintroducing her ancestor to his other descendants, to whom he is completely unknown.

‌

As a young man Henry Adams was a passionate advocate of the value of journalism in broadening people's minds. He was especially concerned with the youth of his time, for many of whom access to information was severely constrained by their socio-economic circumstances. As a man who wanted most of all to be useful in the world, the idea that his writing could serve a useful purpose long after his death would have appealed to him. With this in mind proceeds from the sale of the book (titled 'Bound for Pretoria: The travel writings of Henry Adams, 1878-1879) will be donated to the Henry Adams Memorial Textbook Fund for the benefit of students in the departments of English, History and Journalism.

THE RESCUE OF THE QUEEN OF SHEBA’S JEWELS.

A wicked plan by the even more wicked CHIEF KIMBULLI to steal THE QUEEN OF SHEBA’S JEWELS from her Jewel House in the ancient city of ZIMBABWE is not clever enough for young ARGO and his friends, MAISIE THE MEERKAT and BUNTI THE BUSHBABY.
