Killing Kebble: An Underworld Exposed by Mandy Wiener (pperback)
R70,00In September 2005 one of South Africa’s most eminent mining magnates and businessmen Brett Kebble was killed on a quiet suburban street in Johannesburg. The investigation into the case was a tipping point for democratic South Africa. The top-level investigation that followed exposed the corrupt relationship between the country’s Chief of Police and Interpol President Jackie Selebi and suave Mafioso Glenn Agliotti. A lawless Johannesburg underbelly was exposed – dominated by drug lords, steroid-reliant bouncers, an international smuggling syndicate, a shady security unit moonlighting for the police and sinister self-serving sleuths abusing state agencies. -

Trapped in a deep-seated grief, but sustained by Paul’s memory, Anna continues to fight for justice. Ten years later, in the newly democratic South Africa, Anna brings the unsolved murder to the Truth Commission, setting off a chain of events that uncovers the lies surrounding Paul’s death and a darker truth no one wants to see. -
After Dawn: Hope After State Capture by Mcebisi Jonas (paperback)
R50,00In October 2015, the Gupta brothers offered Mcebisi Jonas the position of minister of finance in exchange for R600 million. Then deputy minister of finance, Jonas turned down the bribe and a period of deep introspection followed for him. How did we reach this point, and what did the future holds for South Africa’s democracy and the economy?
In After Dawn, Mcebisi Jonas analyses the crisis at the heart of our current system, which places politics at the centre of policymaking and implimentation at the expense of growth. In this important and authoritative book, Jonas first unpacks and analyses the current balands of the South African economic and political landscape.
Time is of the essence and the window of opportunity is narrowing for all South Africans to work together towards the South Africa we all imagined was possible in 1994.

Theology & Violence: The South African Debate Edited by Charles Villa-Vincencio (paperback)
R40,00The traditional willingness of the church to bless the use of state violence while opposing revolutionary violence is a natural consequence of its political location on the side of successive ruling classes – traceable back to the Edict of Milan in 313 CE.
It would be wrong, however, to suggest that it is for reasons extraneous to theology that some Christians understand or justify revolutionary violence, while others participate in revolution against tyrannical rulers. It is, in turn, naïve simply to condemn all violence, when in South Africa state repression is at an all time high and revolutionary resistance is intensifying daily.
The essays in this volume contribute to a quest for a responsible Christianity in a violent society. The contours of political violences in South Africa from the time of colonial and missionary expansionism, through the rise of Afrikaner nationalism to the black struggle for liberation are considered. Prominent black Christians, including Desmond Tutu and Frank Chikane, provide contextual theological comment on the use of revolutionary violence. The classical teaching of the church on violence is critically analysed and specific issues such as women and violence, conscientious objection and the ecumenical debate on violent revolution and military disarmament are considered.
