In this book, Ace Moloi writes a letter to his deceased mother. This book, this letter, is an important and necessary look at the state of our country 21 years into our democracy. It is the story of constantly holding your breath, hoping nothing else goes wrong. In a searing and beautiful narrative, Moloi manages to take the reader through various South African issues like the trials of child-headed families in South Africa, the volatile issue of service delivery in townships, the story of broken families, why fees must fall, and racial division in universities. Funny in parts and tragic in others, this is the ultimate South African story.
IMAGINE one day men stopped clowning about attending a theoretical men’s conference, and actually organised a real one? Most of us ask ourselves this question each year on Valentine’s Day when the imaginary conference tantrums start, but only one man had all the boredom in the world to think it out loud. And now we’re here. HE BANNA: Inside South Africa’s First Imaginary Men’s Conference is a commissioned report filed by Ace Moloi about the conference’s developments, deliberations and resolutions as he imagined they would be. Headlined by mental health, gender-based violence, rape culture, fatherhood and more, this book aspires to be a journalistic offering that gives a blow-by-blow commentary of what transpired at the conference. Here, shebeen arguments are treated with the same literary respect enjoyed by superior logic. Disclaimer: The book itself is imaginary. So, you might have to verify the contents first before you tap to pay.

'Lyrical, deep, chilling, and prescient, this is a book we will be talking about for years to come.' - Justice Malala, author and commentator. South Africans face a reckoning: mourn a miracle nation that never came into being, fight on to give it birth, or make something else out of 1994's ashes? In The Inheritors, award-winning writer Eve Fairbanks tells the stories of ordinary people facing this stupendous question. These are the kinds of lives rarely examined in such depth: political activist Dipuo, her born-free daughter Malaika, and Christo, one of the last Afrikaner men drafted to fight for the apartheid regime. All three have to remake their own lives while facing the questions: what ...
In the midst of #MeToo, a social media campaign that liberated victims of sexual harassment in the media industry to tell their story and form a digitally bridged sisterhood, progressive church girls and church boys in the US joined in with #ChurchToo. The aim of this movement was for victims of sexual violence in the church to open up and name and shame perpetrators. Church leaders were mentioned and confronted for raping girls and molesting boys in youth groups. Church culture was correctly problematized for its ‘conversion therapy’. This was a premium opportunity for the church in South Africa to ride on the hash tag and reflect on how we have ‘weaponised’ scripture to marginalize...
