Next travel to Cape Town with its colourful history, encapsulated in the ethnically diverse Bo Kaap district. In this part of Cape Town the coloured houses are even more breathtaking than the views of Table Mountain. Read about the conversations you could have in the market in Cape Town's Greenmarket Square. Finally, journey to the independent countries of the Baltic and discover the splendid churches of the capitals Tallinn and Riga where the architecture is breathtaking and the number of tourists is still relatively few.

This book was released on 2016-04-19 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The magical difference between food prepared in a restaurant and that in a home kitchen for family and friends, is a little ingredient called love. And love is most evident in what is essentially Cariema Isaacs’s tribute to her late father as she shares their mutual passion for food and cooking, as well as their Cape Malay heritage. My Cape Malay Kitchen is a breathtakingly beautiful presentation of some 80 traditional Cape Malay recipes as well as a selection of modern dishes.

She includes the religious and cultural ceremonies, as well as events that have shaped the Cape Malay community into the unique community it is today. But My Cape Malay Kitchen is still a cookbook, packed with flavourful food, richly spiced curries, indulgent cakes and decadent desserts, all illustrated with truly inspirational photography.

Book excerpt: "Cape Town is two cities. One is beautiful beyond imagining, known since its beginning as the 'fairest cape' in the world. Here tourists come to lounge on beaches, scale misty peaks and dine in fine restaurants. The other is one of the most dangerous cities in the world, where police need bullet-proof vests and sometimes army backup. Here gangs of young men rule the night with heavy calibre handguns, dispensing heroin, cocaine, crystal meth and fear. This is a story of the second city... In Gang Town, investigative journalist and criminologist Don Pinnock draws on more than thirty years of research to provide a nuanced and definitive portrait of youngsters caught up in violent crime."--Page [4] of book cover.

Download or read book District Six written by Martin Greshoff and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Martin Greshoff writes about the book he has created that contains photographs by Jan Greshoff of the iconic neighbourhood of District Six and the memoirs of some of those who lived there before it was destroyed by the apartheid regime.My uncle, Jan Greshoff, was an architect who worked in Cape Town, South Africa, from the 1960s to the 1980s. He was a private and modest man and didn't talk much about his photography. Jan had no children, and it was only after he died and his wife passed his archive of negatives on to us, his nephews and niece, that we discovered the full extent of his archive. His photographs cover many areas around Cape Town, including District Six.In common with many architects, Jan was a keen photographer and his profession certainly informed his work and his interest in his environment. He was a very close friend of Jansje Wissema, who was commissioned to photograph District Six for the South African Institute of Architects at roughly the same time that Jan was photographing the area. In his lifetime he did not publish or exhibit his photographs, and it was only in 1996 that he donated some 800 images to the newly founded District Six museum. They were exhibited by the museum in the same year and a booklet, 'The Last Days of District Six' was printed by the museum to accompany the exhibition. Jan died in 2007.In 2014 I started a Facebook page so his photographs could be seen by the communities which he photographed - It was through responses and comments made about the photos on this forum that it became clear that Jan's District Six images provoked memories and intense emotions. Many comments related to the way of living in a cohesive multi-ethnic society, the 'spirit' of District Six, memories of District Six characters, childhood games, physical places such as the shops, 'bioscopes' and streets. Feelings of anger were also expressed in relation to the Group Areas Act and subsequent forced removals from District Six. Feelings of frustration and anger were also expressed in relation to the painfully slow restitution process.It was through these comments made in response to the photographs, and through discussion with an ex-District Six resident, that the idea of recording these stories in more depth came about. The book contains memoirs and poetry submitted by 63 ex-District Six residents and by those who had a connection to the area. The stories which have been submitted are only a small fraction of the stories to be told. The editing process has been done in a collaborative way with each of the contributors. The stories are theirs and it was important that they were a part of this process. It felt important that these memories of an area no longer in existence were captured and preserved for the future and that what happened to District Six was not forgotten and the memory of District Six was kept alive.

Download or read book Creating Books for the Young in the New South Africa written by Barbara A. Lehman and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-10-08 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays analyzes the work of 29 authors and illustrators. South African children's and youth literature has a long history. The country is the most prolific publisher of children's books on the continent, producing perhaps the highest quality literature in Africa. Its traditions resonate within the larger world of children's literature but are solidly grounded in African myth and archetypes. The African diaspora in the U.S. and elsewhere have stories rooted in these oral traditions. Much has changed in South African literature for children since the 1994 transformation of the country. A field once dominated by all white and mostly female writers and illustrators has diversified, adding many new voices.

Book excerpt: Based on true events, Sex, Lies & Stellenbosch uncovers what really goes on behind closed doors in the seemingly up-standing community of Stellenbosch, one of South Africa's wealthiest small towns, where 3,400 dollar millionaires live (before they invested in Steinhoff shares). Written as fiction to protect the innocent, the book exposes the explosive dark truths of the Winelands' elite. All is revealed through the eyes of stay at home mom, 49-year-old Jen, who is the wife of John, a renowned wine farmer and businessman. Jen, like many of her privileged friends, lives a charmed life provided by her husband, in exchange for conjugal sex and obligatory wifely gratitude. When Jen stumbles upon her playboy husband in a compromising position with his sexy employee, things fall apart. Jen is forced to choose between leaving her marriage, jeopardising her standing and stability in the community or turning a blind eye to his infidelity. The book follows Jen's passage to self-discovery and self-fulfillment, while other characters' perspectives move the story forward as each is privy to (and eventually reveals) at least one ‘truth’ or ‘lie’ which Jen must face. Jen's exposition of her husband's infidelity inadvertently mirrors the underbelly of the patriarchal and often duplicitous community of the seemingly perfect Stellenbosch. Led by prominent wine farmers, international businessmen and renowned academics, business and private interests, even if ethically compromised, are staunchly guarded. The unfolding chapters irreverently explore both the emotional growth of the protagonist, Jen, as well as the moral ambiguities of the other players in the book. -- Publisher's description.

Book excerpt: Cape Town is an unlikely setting for Islamic terror, but in Bo-Kaap, the city's peaceful Muslim enclave, Imam Rauf preaches a theology of austerity, obedience and sacrifice. When the multibillionaire Goldwyn family settles in the Western Cape, they learn firsthand the implications of a radical imam's preaching. Cultures collide in the wake of a family crisis as the Goldwyns face off with an insidious form of jihad that has long existed but always been ignored. Mother City leaves readers with a coldly objective impression of the postmodern world where danger lurks at every turn, even in unexpected places, and where unilateral actions beyond state control may indeed constitute the most effective way to protect the West.
