Out of stockUlwembu
R180Evil stalks the township of KwaMashu, near Durban. It comes in the form of Whoonga, a toxic mix of B-grade heroin, rat poison and other chemical components that almost immediately sucks its users into the vortex of addiction and the crime, deception and personal tragedy that goes with it. Caught up in the web, the ulwembu of the title, presided over by the dealer, Bongani Mseleku, are Lieutenant Portia Mthembu, a police officer in the frontline of the fight against the scourge; her son Sipho; his friend, Andile Nxumalo, and Emmanuel Abreu, a Mozambique-born spaza shopkeeper.

Uncertain Curature
R300Uncertain curature is a volume of bold and original explorations of the archive – the past, our material inheritance – and the ways it is displayed, interpreted and given meaning in the postcolonial world of South Africa. This operation on the past – what the authors have called ‘curature’ – can be seen as the postcolony’s way of rescripting its own history, which is both a trauma to be dealt with and a resource for the future.

Under Nelson Mandela Boulevard : Life among the stowaways
R230Beneath the Nelson Mandela Boulevard flyover on Cape Town’s foreshore lives a community of stowaways, young Tanzanian men from the slums of Dar es Salaam.
When journalist Sean Christie meets Adam Bashili, he comes to know the extraordinary world of Beachboys, a multi-port, fourth-generation subculture that lives to stow away and stows away to survive. But Sean starts to accompany the beachboys on trips around their everyday Cape Town, he becomes more than a casual observer, serving as sometime moneylender, driver, confidant and scribe, and eventually joining Adam on an unprecedented tour of Dar es Salaam’s underworld and a reckless run down Africa’s east coast.
Under Nelson Mandela Boulevard remaps both city and continent, introducing us to the places and people we so frequently overlook.
