Transitioning Vocational Education and Training in Africa
EPDF and EPUB available Open Access under CC-BY-NC-ND licence. The transition to more just and sustainable development requires radical change across a wide range of areas and particularly within the nexus between learning and work. This book takes an expansive view of vocational education and training that goes beyond the narrow focus of much of the current literature and policy debate. Drawing on case studies across rural and urban settings in Uganda and South Africa, the book offers a new way of seeing this issue through an exploration of the multiple ways in which people learn to have better livelihoods. Crucially, it explores learning that takes place informally online, within farmers’ groups, and in public and private educational institutions. Offering new insights and ways of thinking about this field, the book draws out clear implications for theory, policy and practice in Africa and beyond.
Cold Case Confession
A chilling confession, hidden for over a decade, reignites a harrowing cold case in this gripping true crime tale. The chance discovery of a letter on 31 March 2012 reawakens a case long considered to have run cold – the kidnapping and murder of Betty Ketani, a mother of three who vanished while working at one of Johannesburg's most popular restaurants. As the investigation spans five countries and enlists the help of a world-renowned DNA laboratory, shocking truths emerge about those implicated in the crime. Written by the reporter who broke the story, Alex Eliseev, Cold Case Confession delves deep into the murder mystery, sharing exclusive material gathered over four years of tireless investigation. With a narrative that reads like a Hollywood movie script, this true crime masterpiece unravels the perplexing question: who wanted Betty Ketani dead, and why? 'This case is like an Agatha Christie whodunit: abduction, murder and a confession.' – Carte Blanche 'Wonderful, evocative and vivid writing. Eliseev is a very exciting new talent.' – Peter James 'This book has become a South African classic.' – Jenny Crwys Williams
The Prey
In Africa, men - and women - will risk all for the lure of gold Deep underground in the Eureka mine, South Africa’s zama zamas illegally hunt for gold. King of this brutal underworld is Wellington Shumba, a man who rules his illegal miners through fear of torture and death. Running Eureka’s legitimate operation is former recce-commando Cameron McMurtrie. When one of his engineers is taken hostage, Cameron does not hesitate to mastermind a dramatic rescue – and finish it off with a manhunt for Wellington. That is until corporate interference from the mine’s Australian head office, in the shape of ambitious high-flyer Kylie Hamilton, gets in his way. Kylie is visiting South Africa supposedly to finalise a new mine on the border of the famed Kruger National Park, but instead she and Cameron are forced into a partnership to fend off an environmental war above ground, and a deadly battle with a ruthless killer below. Cameron and Kylie have become Wellington’s prey. They must unite – their lives depend on it.
The Truth about Crime
This new book by the well-known anthropologists Jean and John L. Comaroff explores the global preoccupation with criminality in the early twenty-first century, a preoccupation strikingly disproportionate, in most places and for most people, to the risks posed by lawlessness to the conduct of everyday life. Ours in an epoch in which law-making, law-breaking, and law-enforcement are ever more critical registers in which societies construct, contest, and confront truths about themselves, an epoch in which criminology, broadly defined, has displaced sociology as the privileged means by which the social world knows itself. They also argue that as the result of a tectonic shift in the triangulatio...

These Potatoes Look Like Humans
These Potatoes Look Like Humans offers a unique understanding of the intersection between land, labour, dispossession and violence experienced by Black South Africans from the apartheid period to the present. In this ground-breaking book, uMbuso weNkosi criticises the historical framing of this debate within narrow materialist and legalistic arguments. His assertion is that, for most Black South Africans, the meaning of land cannot be separated from one’s spiritual and ancestral connection to it, and this results in him seeing the dispossession of land in South Africa with a perspective not yet explored. weNkosi takes as his starting point the historic 1959 potato boycott in South Africa, ...
