TAXI-012 SANDILE ZULU, the 12th title in the TAXI Art series, is the first book on the work of Sandile Zulu. Over the last decade, Zulu has developed a working method that relies as much on rhythm and repetition as it does on the unpredictability of the elements – fire, water, found objects – he uses. He is, as Colin Richards notes in his meticulously researched essay, a pyromancer, a collector of natural elements, and a scavenger after industrial debris.
The 13th book in the TAXI Art Book series of monographs, this title looks at the work of Diane Victor, with essays by Elizabeth Rankin and Karen von Veh.
Mmakgabo Sebidi traverses mental and physical landscapes with an eye trained on the dangerous, the discomfiting, the traumatic and the ecstatic in human experience. She is deeply grounded in her rural upbringing and traditions but also finely attuned to the rhythms of the city in which she has spent much of her adult life. Sebidi brings together these two worlds in works of great visionary and prophetic power. Her themes are wide-ranging: her cultural roots, the wisdom of the ancestors, the ravages of the modern world on the human psyche, the loss of tradition, the potential of human creativity to build relationships and restore the past.
Paul Stopforth is known in South Africa for work that comments on the harshness and injustices of life under apartheid. His art – comprising sculpture, drawing, painting, and printmaking – is not, however, narrowly political but instead occupies a space ‘between the material and the spiritual, imaging finitude and mortality’.

June 16, 1976 remains the decisive moment that brought a new impetus to the struggle for
liberation in South Africa. Little of this uprising is contained in a published book written by the student leaders themselves.
This book is the first and does just that. The authors relate individual and collective accounts of their role as SRC leaders of Mosupatsela High School from March 1976 in the lead up to the June 16, 1976 uprising. This is the story of the uprising in Kagiso, Krugersdorp and the resulting detention of the authors in September of 1976.
The Bethal trial, two years later in 1978, was to divide the students of Mosupatsela High.
This book analyses that trial and details the role of the security police in formenting this division. The late Bonaventure Malaza, President of the subsequent SRC, was to be a casualty of this division and his fellow SRC members were to turn state witnesses.
Read how Judge Curlewis conducted that trial, with fitting comparisons to Tokyo Sexwale’s
“Bordergate caseâ€, Pennuel Maduna’s “Ongoye student protest case†and the seminal Harry
Gwala, “Pietermaritzburg caseâ€.
