In India and East Africa E-Indiya nase East Africa
A politician's journey to bring home Mahatma Gandhi's teachings home to South Africa in the wake of WWII In November 1949, Davidson Don Tengo (D.D.T.) Jabavu, the South African politician, Methodist lay preacher and retired professor of African languages and Latin at Fort Hare University in the Eastern Cape, set out on a four-month trip to attend the World Pacifist Meeting in India. The conference brought together delegates from over thirty countries to reflect on how Mahatma Gandhi’s life and teachings could inform pacifist work in the post-World War II era.

Stranger at Home
This book is about the poetry, vision and deeply inhospitable context of one of South Africas most talented praise poets. The praise poet (imbongi) is a familiar cultural icon in contemporary South Africa. Public events as diverse as presidential inaugurations, openings of parliament, fashion shows and boxing contests begin with the rousing declamations of charismatic iimbongi. Yet until the institution of majority-rule, praise poets who sought to shock their audiences with dangerous truths could claim none of the prestige enjoyed by their present-day counterparts. Under apartheid, many praise poets either ceased to perform or abandoned the imbongi's duty to diagnose and criticize political ...

Moedertaalonderrig en taalaktivisme in Suid-Afrika: Analise van gedrukte mediadekking tussen 2006 en 2010
Uiters belangrike narratief oor skooltaalvoorkeur het hom tussen 2006 en 2010 in Suid-Afrika afgespeel. Hierdie gebeurtenisse het diep in die Suid-Afrikaanse onderwys- en taalwêreld ingesny, en ook in die buiteland belangstelling gelok. Die koerante het volledig daaroor berig: oor die hofsake, die skoolhoofde, die skole, ouers en die leerders. Maar hoe gemaak as onderwyskundiges, sosiolinguiste, taalbeplanners, taalhistorici en vaklui van aansluitende dissiplines later die punte van hulle vingers op die besonderhede van daardie gebeurtenisse wil lê?
Philosophy and Leadership
Today, managers, politicians, educators, and healthcare providers are highly skilled technicians who navigate modern systems. However, followers seek more than know-how; they desire moral leadership. Even leaders equipped with skills must make difficult ethical choices.

The leadership ideas contained in each one of these philosopher’s works were not only pioneering for their age but continue to be relevant today because they provide insight into the enduring questions of leadership....
