Gruesome
In this book, investigative journalist De Wet Potgieter follows the trail of a number of criminals in South Africa’s history. These violent crimes, perpetrated from the late 1980s into the new millennium, vary from fanatical far-rightists who killed their innocent countrymen, to assassins who executed high-profile, state-sanctioned murders. He takes the reader behind the scenes of some of the most controversial events in our country and, with his fearless style of writing, pulls you right into the belly of the beast. In Gruesome, he shares information that has never before been made public. What really happened on the night of 17 June 1992 in Boipatong? What motivated the horrific attack on Alison Botha? What caused the ostensibly conformist policeman André Stander to become an unscrupulous bank robber? Who was the first person to see the connection between Gert van Rooyen’s victims and a probable human-trafficking network? Potgieter relates how, as a journalist, he went about reporting on each of these interesting, gruesome cases. This book takes you back to the bloody newspaper headlines of yesterday.
Justice Served? The Trial and Conviction of Bob Hewitt
In 1992, former Grand Slam tennis champion Bob Hewitt was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame. In 2012, he was indefinitely suspended following multiple allegations of sexual misconduct from women he coached as young girls. On 23 March 2015, Hewitt was found guilty of two counts of rape and one of sexual assault after a watershed trial that has changed the legal landscape and how the South African judicial system prosecutes historic rape. This book takes the reader behind the scenes of the trial that shook the foundations of the international sporting world. It follows the case against Hewitt instituted by Suellen Sheehan and two fellow accusers, only a few of the dozens of survivors who allegedly suffered abuse at his hands. The result was a six-year prison sentence handed down to the frail 75-year-old, more than 30 years after his crimes. Justice Served? The Trial and Conviction of Bob Hewitt covers various perspectives of the trial, from that of the state prosecutor to the defence advocate and other key role-players, includes Hewitt’s appeal of sentence in 2016, and chronicles the spectacular fall from grace of a world-famous tennis legend.

Grusaam
In hierdie boek loop die ondersoekende joernalis De Wet Potgieter terug op die spore van ’n klomp geweldenaars in ons land se geskiedenis. Dié geweldsmisdade, wat van die laat tagtigerjare tot in die nuwe millennium gepleeg is, wissel van fanatiese verregses wat onskuldige medeburgers koelbloedig afmaai, tot geweldenaars wat hoëprofiel-staatsmoorde gepleeg het. Hy neem die leser tot agter die skerms van die mees omstrede voorvalle in ons land. Met sy onverskrokke skryfstyl trek Potgieter jou midde-in die sake in. In Grusaam deel hy inligting wat nog nie voorheen openbaar gemaak is nie. Wat het werklik die nag van 17 Junie 1992 in Boipatong gebeur? Wat was die dryfkrag agter die gru-aanval op Alison Botha? Wat het van die doodgewone polisieman André Stander ’n gewetenlose bankrower gemaak? Wie het eerste die verband tussen Gert van Rooyen se slagoffers en ’n moontlike mensehandelsaak raakgesien? Potgieter vertel hoe hy as joernalis te werk gegaan het om verslag te doen oor elk van dié interessante, grusame sake. Hierdie boek neem jou terug na die bloedige koerantopskrifte van gister.
Die tint van ons toekoms
Die psalmboek is ’n eeue oue bron van vertroosting. Dit verwoord ons vrese, onsekerhede, vreugde en hoop. Dit spreek tot ons met troos en verwagting en afwagting. Die psalms is hartswoorde wat uit die dankbare of gekwelde hart van mense na God opstyg. Daar is verwondering oor die skoonheid van die skepping en die vaste patrone daarin. Daar is ook psalms wat deurdronge is van ervarings van krisis en nood. Dis ’n roepe uit ons hart na God. Daar is psalms waarin die lofliedere, dankbaarheid en hernude verwondering oor God se genade en voorsiening opklink. In Die tint van ons toekoms ondersoek Johan Cilliers die psalms as wegwysers na oordenkings oor verwonding, verwondering en verwagting met die hoop dat dit die leser op ’n nuwe weg sal plaas, ’n nuwe toekoms tegemoet. In die psalms praat en bid, sug en sing mense hul hart voor God uit. Maar God praat daarin ook sy hart teenoor ons uit. In ’n sin is dit ’n gesprek van hart tot hart. Dis God wat ons uit die skadu’s van lyding en leed, verwonding en dood uitlei en ons toekoms algaande versadig met lig.

Heresy in the Heartland
Heresy in the Heartland is a narrative case study of the 'Heresy' Affair at the University of Dayton, a series of events predominantly in the philosophy department that occurred when tensions between the Thomists and proponents of new philosophies reached crisis stage in fall 1966. The controversy culminated in a letter written by a lay assistant professor to the Cincinnati archbishop, Karl J. Alter. In the letter, the professor cited a number of instances where “erroneous teachings” were “endorsed” or “openly advocated” by four lay faculty members. Concerned about the pastoral impact on the University of Dayton community, the professor asked the archbishop to conduct an investig...
