Best possible location in Reading town centrePosted Jun 27, 2017
The room was very hot, although my stay coincided with the hottest day in 40 years. No air-con in the room, just a table fan that tried its best. The carpet was very dated. The room and en-suite bathroom were tiny but clean. I had no issue checking in, even though it was unmanned at the time of the day. The full english breakfast was nice. The location was very central in Reading town and the station is just round the corner. I would visit again if travelling alone, but never ever with family.

Not suitable for Business workerPosted Jun 24, 2017
Pros: Location is great for socialising
Cons: A/C Soundproofing
Options limited in the area because of Royal Ascot so decided to try this BnB in Reading. Parking in the area is limited and traffic wardens ARE quick off the mark as I had only parked in the next street to offload my luggage. Room was functional, with ensuite and a good shower. First issue was no wi-fi. Card left in the room saying "Cloud" available but neither phone or laptop gave this option (rectified next day, alternative given by management). No desk, chair or even bedside table in the room so can be a bit cramped and all had a look like it hasn't been updated for a very long time. This week has been the hottest so far this year, my first thoughts on entering the room was, a fan - yes! But it was still so hot in the room I opened the window (big mistake). Disturbed on each of my four night stays from 9pm, midnight, and after 1am. O'Neills pub courtyard directly below emptied crate after crate of bottles in to wheelie bins, the noise was crazy. This was on top of the noise from the big A/C units all humming away cutting in and out through the night on the walls outside the window - yet my room didn't have any aircon, it if did maybe I could close the window and get a decent night's sleep.

Disappointing hotelPosted May 26, 2017
The confirmation stated check in reception open till 9pm. Arrived 8 pm no reception no instructions luckily found an envelope with my name on it in an unlocked post box by hotel. The room was very small and not the cleanest (no duvet cover on duvet and some unpleasant looking hairs and stains on the duvet. (No one to complain to). The room was extremely hot but there was a choice hot and sweaty with window closed or cooler but deafening loud thump of music from night club that must be very close. Unrefreshed and keen to leave in the morning we decided to live with the change in check out time from the confirmation stated 10am to the note in the room that stated 9.30. We left and went for the confirmation stated breakfast included only to find cafe where breakfast was supposed to be shut with no sign of life. Again no sigh of anyone for check out so left room key in same unlocked post box and left never to return.

OK for overnight but only if a low price is offerPosted Oct 13, 2016 on Hotels
Booked a single and got a double so that was a nice surprise. Walls are paper thin so bring earplugs. TV didn't work. Room is a bit depressing.

Perfect for the nightPosted Sep 15, 2016
Finding the bnb was very easy being on the Main Street from the train station. Arriving late, the instructions for picking up my key card was very clear and all went smoothly. The room was small but cosy, comfortable, clean and had everything I needed- including a fan (which was needed due to it being one of the hottest days of the year). The shower was powerful and clean. Despite being on a Main Street I also believe the windows were very effective at keeping out any noise. Very easy to get breakfast in the morning and check out. Would recommend.

text: Home > Business JPMorgan gives Philippine peso 'underweight' tag ABS-CBN News Posted at Jan 17 2014 02:33 PM | Updated as of Jan 17 2014 10:33 PM Share Save Facebook Twitter GPlus LinkedIn MANILA, Philippines - JP Morgan keeps its "underweight" rating on the Philippine peso and warns the peso, togeter with other Asian currencies, is poised to weaken further. In its latest research note, JP Morgan says Philippine rates are too low, which should discourage foreign fund inflows that used to lift the peso. These foreign funds for most of last year went to emerging markets, like the Philippines, because of record low interest rates in the US, as the Federal Reserve injected more money into the system through its monthly billion dollar bond purchases. The Philippines alone saw hot money inflows rise to 8% last year to an unprecedented level of $4.2 billion. But now that the Fed is slowly cutting its stimulus, US interest rates are creeping up and foreign funds are returning there. The peso touched a three-year low on Wednesday, and now stays within the 45-to-the-dollar territory. - ANC Share Save Facebook Share on Twitter GPlus LinkedIn Read More: foreign exchange Philippine peso JPMorgan & Chase Co /video/news/08/16/17/2-poultry-workers-sa-pampanga-negatibo-sa-bird-flu/video/business/08/16/17/ph-shares-up-for-3rd-day-ahead-of-q2-gdp/entertainment/08/16/17/jennylyn-patrick-garcia-post-birthday-messages-for-son-jazz/video/news/08/16/17/mayor-parojinog-wife-and-relatives-laid-to-rest-in-ozamiz-city/sports/08/16/17/fiba-asia-cup-merciless-korea-eliminates-overmatched-gilas-pilipinas

Last night my sister was in town and hung out with DH (dear husband) and I. She wanted to watch a scary movie. We picked Pet Sematary. Oops. Big mistake for me LOL.
My son is two, blond haired, blue eyed. It was not exactly a huge jump for my irrational pregnant hormones from "little fictional boy in movie who has slight resemblances to my son physically gets hit by semi and dies" to "OMG what if MY son was the victim of a traumatic accident and I lost him"
Crazy, I know, but I ended up curled up on the floor next to his bed crying. DH (dear husband) had to come rescue me and reassure me our boy was fine. I had to explain to him that I didn't actually THINK our boy was not ok, I had just had one of those horrid overactive imagination moments.
The rest of the movie was fine once it got ridiculous and Chucky-esque.
But I must remember to consider things like that when choosing horror movies next time......

By now you've surely heard about the Veterinary Feed Directive, or VFD, issued by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and effective January 1, 2017. At the same time, you're also probably aware of the advertising claims of multiple national restaurant chains touting their "antibiotic-free" food offerings.
The two are not a coincidence, says Mike Apley, Kansas State University professor of veterinary clinical sciences. "We have entered a new era of antibiotic use in food-animal agriculture," he says. "How much access we have to antibiotic therapies in the future depends largely on our actions going forward from here."
Why all the fuss?
Much of the concern regarding antibiotics stems from the rising global incidence of antibiotic resistance – antibiotics becoming less effective at killing bacteria or inhibiting their growth because of structural changes in the bacteria themselves. Antibiotics used in veterinary medicine which also are used in human medicine – these so-called "shared use" or "medically important" antibiotics--are the focus of the changes coming on January 1, 2017. Your veterinarian now will have to write a VFD for their use in feed, and a prescription for their addition to drinking water. No extra-label use of medically important antibiotics in feed will be allowed at all.
But Apley is quick to point out that antibiotic resistance is not just a concern for human health. "We rely heavily on antibiotics in veterinary medicine as well, and we want them to continue to work as effectively as possible in animals and people," he says. He also notes the importance of recognizing that resistance does not necessarily mean there is no available treatment, only that the most common first-choice antibiotic may not work, and therefore it takes longer before one is used which will contribute to a successful therapeutic outcome. "Nonetheless, resistance is real," he says, "and it does affect both veterinary and human medicine."
An availability evolution
Resistance was not even on Apley's radar when he began practicing veterinary medicine in central Kansas in 1987. When he returned to graduate school a few years later, much of his research dealt with antibiotics, but the emphasis was almost solely on treatment. "Our focus of antibiotic use at that time was on improving animal health and performance, without the thought that these valuable tools might have a finite lifespan," he says.
In the 1980s, human and veterinary medicine had essentially declared victory on infectious diseases. But that began to change in the 1990s, when resistance issues started to surface in human medicine. The tide of ubiquitous antibiotic use began to turn, and animal agriculture became a primary target.
Today, the U.S. livestock industry finds itself essentially protecting its existing arsenal of available antibiotic therapies. Apley believes it is highly unlikely that many, if any, new classes of antibiotics will become available to food animal medicine in the future.
In addition to the new VFD regulations, another recent event changed a longstanding use of antibiotics in food-animal production. As of January 1, 2017, veterinary pharmaceutical manufacturers will have voluntarily withdrawn all of their medically important antibiotic product labels for growth promotion in livestock in the United States. All told, that represents 26 companies and 283 drug labels. The remaining prevention, control, and therapeutic label claims will require veterinary oversight in the form of a VFD for feed uses and a prescription for water uses. Clearly, what Apley describes as the "antibiotic heyday" of the 1970s and 1980s is over.
Future realities
Still, Apley is adamant that antibiotics are a necessary part of food animal production. "To completely lose access to them would be catastrophic," he says. Thus, an enhanced culture of responsible antibiotic use and professionalism will be required. For U.S. dairy operations, that likely will entail:
(1) Increased veterinary oversight – Your herd veterinarian of record is not only responsible now for all the antibiotics that are used in your operation, but he or she also is accountable. If misuse happens on your farm, your veterinarian also will be penalized.
That's one of the reasons why veterinarians are taking the VFD, and antibiotic use in general, very seriously. The veterinary-client-patient relationship (VCPR) also is a highly valuable component of every dairy's business. "Your veterinarian should be one of your most trusted advisors," says Apley.
At the same time, he cautions that not every conversation with your veterinarian will be a comfortable one, nor should it be. "A part of a veterinarian's job is to help the operation continue to evolve and adapt to new circumstances," Apley says. "In many cases, I think the VFD discussion will help discern how much of an operation's current antibiotic use is necessary, and how much is habit. Antibiotic stewardship starts with clearly identifying the disease and then doing everything possible to not have to use an antibiotic."
(2) Case definitions for antibiotic use – Apley believes it is vital for every livestock operation to maintain a list of every drug on the farm, with a definition of how that drug should be used. Protocols for commonly occurring diseases on the dairy should be developed in conjunction with the herd veterinarian, clearly defining the specific course of treatment for each condition.
That practice already is in place at Dairy Dreams, a 2,800-cow facility near Casco, Wis., co-owned by Don Niles. Niles, who also is a veterinarian, says the process of developing case definitions with his entire management team and consulting veterinarians was time-consuming up front. But he wouldn't want to run a dairy without them now.
"When you have a well-written case definition, you have an instant training tool," he says. "If we bring a new person on, all of the details of disease treatment already are laid out for them, including recognizing symptoms, the medication to use, treatment length, and meat and milk withdrawal times."
All health protocols at Dairy Dreams are set up in tables in Dairy Comp 305, which also is used to generate follow-up lists and periodically evaluate treatment success. The case definitions are a valuable risk-management tool, and promote strategic, pre-evaluated antibiotic selection and use – versus a "drug-of-the-day" or "each-employee's-favorite" mentality.
(3) Alternatives to antibiotic therapy – Over the span of Niles' 30-plus-year career, he has witnessed a promising evolution in dairy management that has naturally curtailed the use of antibiotics on dairies. "Today, we know a lot more about disease prevention through nutrition, cow comfort and environmental management," he says. "We also have more tools at our disposal, including vaccines, teat sealants and immunomodulators, to keep animals healthy."
He predicts practices like selective dry-cow therapy will be embraced by a growing number of dairies as they have fewer existing infections at the end of lactation, and more non-antibiotic tools to prevent new ones.
Like it or not, antibiotic use will continue to be used as a competitive issue in the food-marketing industry, says Apley, and farmers must be wary of how that has an impact on their ability to address infectious disease in animals their our care. But neither food purveyors nor consumer activist groups completely dictate how we can and cannot use antibiotics on dairies – at least not yet.
"The way we in food-animal agriculture demonstrate that we are responsible in the face of regulations will determine our future," he says. "Right now, agriculture is still in the driver's seat. We all need to work together to keep it that way."
Note: This story appears in the January 2017 issue of Dairy Herd Management.

A title deed = tenure security. Or does it? This book challenges this simple equation and its apparently self-evident assumptions. It argues that two very different property paradigms characterise South Africa.
The first is the dominant paradigm of private property, referred to as an 'edifice', against which all other property regimes are measured and ranked. However, the majority of South Africans gain access to land and housing through very different processes, which this book calls social or off-register tenures. These tenures are poorly understood, a gap Untitled aims to address. The book reveals that 'informal' and customary property systems can be well organised, often providing substantial tenure security, but lack official recognition and support. This makes them difficult to service and vulnerable to elite capture.
Policy interventions usually aim to formalise these arrangements by issuing title deeds. The case studies in this book, which span both rural and urban contexts in South Africa, examine these interventions and the unintended consequences they often give rise to. Interventions based on an understanding of locally embedded property relations are more likely to succeed than those that attempt to transform them into registered tenures. However, emerging practices hit intractable obstacles associated with the 'edifice', which only a substantial transformation of the legal paradigms can overcome.
Errol Tobias debuted as the first black Springbok in 1980 (aged 30) and played at international level until 1984, delivering sterling performances at flyhalf and centre, albeit in the shadow of a then-youthful Naas Botha.
Today, the debate still rages on about Tobias's decision to feature for South Africa when apartheid in sport denied most other black sportspeople such an opportunity. However, almost four decades after he burst through the half-gap between racial barriers and accusations of tokenism, the quest to produce more black Springboks remains a hot potato.
The story told in this book - published in celebration of 120 years of organised black rugby in South Africa (1897-2017) - is a story of perseverance, political side-stepping and sacrifice, and it begins with a dream involving former Springbok captain Naas Botha, currently a rugby analyst for Supersport.
Jacana Media is proud to make this important book available again, now with a completely new introduction. First published by Oceanbooks, New York and Melbourne and University of Natal Press, Pietermaritzburg in 2001, the book was short-listed for the Sunday Times Alan Paton Award in 2002.
In the public imagination the struggle that saw the end of apartheid and the inauguration of a democratic South Africa is seen as one waged by black people who were often imprisoned or killed for their efforts. Raymond Suttner, an academic, is one of a small group of white South Africans who was imprisoned for his efforts to overthrow the apartheid regime. He was first arrested in 1975 and tortured with electric shocks because he refused to supply information to the police. He then served 8 years because of his underground activities for the African National Congress and South African Communist Party.
After his release in 1983, he returned to the struggle and was forced to go underground to evade arrest, but was re-detained in 1986 under repeatedly renewed states of emergency, for 27 months, 18 of these in solitary confinement, because whites were kept separately and all other whites apart from Suttner were released. In the last months of this detention Suttner was allowed to have a pet lovebird, which he tamed and used to keep inside his tracksuit. When he was eventually released from detention in September 1988 the bird was on his shoulder. Suttner was held under stringent house arrest conditions, imposed to impede further political activities. He, however, defied his house arrest restrictions and attended an Organisation for African Unity meeting in Harare in August 1989 and he remained out of the country for five months. Shortly after his return, when he anticipated being re-arrested, the state of emergency was lifted and the ANC and other banned organisations were unbanned. Suttner became a leading figure in the ANC and SACP.
The book describes Suttner's experience of prison in a low-key, unromantic voice, providing the texture of prison life, but unlike most 'struggle memoirs' it is also intensely personal. Suttner is not averse to admitting his fears and anxieties.
The new edition contains an introduction where Suttner describes his break with the ANC and SACP. But, he argues, the reason for his rupturing this connection that had been so important to his life were the same – ethical reasons – that had led him to join. He remains convinced that what he did was right and continues to act in accordance with those convictions.
On 5 February 2014, world-renowned scientist Tim Noakes fired off a tweet allegedly dispensing dietary advice to a young mother into a highly volatile media space; the fallout threatened to destroy his career. This is the untold backstory.
Veteran journalist and writer Daryl Ilbury unveils, layer by layer, a combustible mix of scientific ignorance, academic jealousy, the collapse of media ethics, and the interests of a world-renowned scientist in highlighting the intricacies of human nutrition and exposing those he believes have vested interests in regulating it.
Featuring interviews with people who have worked closely with Noakes, including former Springbok coach Jake White and polar swimmer Lewis Gordon Pugh, as well as award-winning journalists and fellow scientists and academics, some of whom now consider Noakes dangerous and out of control, this book is bound to be as controversial as the man himself.
Pushing Boulders tells the extraordinary story of a Cape Town man born in an old police station during apartheid, who struggles to overcome immense political and social odds to become one of the first people ever to graduate with master's degrees from five of the world's top universities, including Harvard, MIT and Oxford. At the height of his successful international business career, at the age of 40, he foregoes wealth and status, sells his Lamborghini, Rolls Royce, Jaguar and other luxury cars, to pursue his mission to use education to enable and inspire others to thrive.
With frequent references to his diaries and letters, the book is written with frankness and candour so often absent in autobiographies. It offers readers a rare insight into the life of a uniquely talented and accomplished person, revealing his doubts and heartaches as well as the secrets to his immense ability to pick himself up and soldier on. The book reveals how his compassion for others changed his life and gave it purpose.
Pushing Boulders is a story about pursuing dreams. It shows that, with self-belief and resilience, you can push aside the boulders that block your path to success. It tells a powerful and inspirational story that will leave you believing that even your most outrageous dreams are possible, and leave you energised to begin pursuing them.
The SS Mendi is a wreck site off the Isle of Wight under the protection of Historic England. Nearly 650 men, mostly from the South African Native Labour Corps (SANLC), lost their lives in February 1917 following a collision in fog as they travelled to serve as labourers on the Western Front, in one of the largest single losses of life during the conflict.
The loss of the SS Mendi occupies a special place in South African military history. Prevented from being trained as fighting troops by their own government, the men of the SANLC hoped that their contribution to the war effort would lead to greater civil rights and economic opportunities in the new white-ruled nation of South Africa after the war. These hopes proved unfounded, and the SS Mendi became a focus of black resistance before and during the apartheid era in South Africa. One hundred years on, the wreck of the SS Mendi is a physical symbol of black South Africans' long fight for social and political justice and equality and is one of a very select group of historic shipwrecks from which contemporary political and social meaning can be drawn, and whose loss has rippled forward in time to influence later events; a loss that is now an important part of the story of a new 'rainbow nation'.
The wreck of the SS Mendi is now recognised as one of England's most important First World War heritage assets and the wreck site is listed under the Protection of Military Remains Act. New archaeological investigation has provided real and direct information about the wreck for the first time.
The loss of the Mendi is used to highlight the story of the SANLC and other labour corps as well as the wider treatment of British imperial subjects in wartime.
The re-emergence of debates on the decolonisation of knowledge has revived interest in the National Question, which began over a century ago and remains unresolved. Tensions that were suppressed and hidden in the past are now being openly debated. Despite this, the goal of one united nation living prosperously under a constitutional democracy remains elusive. This edited volume examines the way in which various strands of left thought have addressed the National Question, especially during the apartheid years, and goes on to discuss its relevance for South Africa today and in the future.
Instead of imposing a particular understanding of the National Question, the editors identified a number of political traditions and allowed contributors the freedom to define the question as they believed appropriate - in other words, to explain what they thought was the Unresolved National Question. This has resulted in a rich tapestry of interweaving perceptions.
The volume is structured in two parts. The first examines four foundational traditions - Marxism-Leninism (the Colonialism of a Special Type thesis); the Congress tradition; the Trotskyist tradition; and Africanism. The second part explores the various shifts in the debate from the 1960s onwards, and includes chapters on Afrikaner nationalism, ethnic issues, Black Consciousness, feminism, workerism and constitutionalism. The editors hope that by revisiting the debates not popularly known among the scholarly mainstream, this volume will become a catalyst for an enriched debate on our identity and our future.
Systematically since 1994 the ANC government has betrayed the dream of democracy. A dream that imagined equality, the end of poverty, a thriving economy, and a just and prosperous future for all. Most devastatingly this betrayal can be seen in the failure of educational institutions to develop the talents and skills of the young generations. Given the 'Fallist' protests, given the public service delivery protests, given the voters' message to the ANC in the municipal elections, ordinary people are suffering. Poverty still wears a black face. White racism becomes ever more strident.
The country needs to hope again.
In this searing critique of what's gone wrong in the public and private sectors, Mamphela Ramphele turns to the tenets of black consciousness and argues for an 'emotional settlement' to heal the trauma of colonialism and apartheid that still ravages both black and white communities. Emotional settlement would unlock empathy for others and unleash the potential of all citizens to work together for a 'socio-economic settlement' to promote social justice and equality for all. 'It is time,' she says, 'to reimagine the country and its future. We owe this to our children's children. We dare not fail.'
This story of a middle-class white South African family unfolds between the years 1939 and 1964 - a transformative period in South Africas political landscape.
It is told through the eyes and experiences of the younger son and his rite of passage into a country of racial segregation that gradually opens his eyes to the many injustices imposed upon the majority of the countrys population, coupled with a realization that his white privileges are sustained at the brutal expense of others.
Almost Human is the personal story of a charismatic and visionary palaeontologist, a rich and readable narrative about science, exploration, and what it means to be human.
In 2013, Wits University reasearch professor Lee Berger caught wind of a cache of bones in a hard-to-reach underground cave near Johannesburg. He put out a call around the world for collaborators – men and women small and adventurous enough to be able to squeeze through 8-inch tunnels to reach a sunless cave 40 feet underground. With this team of 'underground astronauts', Berger made the discovery of a lifetime: hundreds of prehistoric bones, including entire skeletons of at least 15 individuals, all perhaps two million years old. Their features combined those of known pre-hominids with those more human than anything ever before seen in prehistoric remains. Berger's team had discovered an all new species: Homo naledi.
The cave proved to be the richest pre-hominid site ever discovered, full of implications that challenge how we define ourselves as human. Did these ancestors of ours bury their dead? If so, they must have had an awareness of death, a level of self-knowledge: the very characteristic we used to define ourselves as human. Did an equally advanced species inhabit Earth with us, or before us?
Addressing these questions, Berger counters the arguments of those colleagues who have questioned his controversial interpretations and astounding finds.
Without much fanfare Ahmed Kathrada worked alongside Nelson Mandela, Walter Sisulu and other giants in the struggle to end racial discrimination in South Africa. He faced house arrest and many court trials related to his activism until, finally, a trial for sabotage saw him sentenced to life imprisonment alongside Mandela and six others.
Conversations with a Gentle Soul has its origins in a series of discussions between Kathrada and Sahm Venter about his opinions, encounters and experiences. Throughout his life, Kathrada has refused to hang on to negative emotions such as hatred and bitterness. Instead, he radiates contentment and the openness of a man at peace with himself. His wisdom is packaged within layers of optimism, mischievousness and humour, and he provides insights that are of value to all South Africans.
In 1977, RW Johnson's best-selling How Long Will South Africa Survive? provided a controversial and highly original analysis of the survival prospects of apartheid. Now, after more than twenty years of ANC rule, he believes the situation has become so critical that the question must be posed again.
'The big question about ANC rule', he writes, 'is whether African nationalism would be able to cope with the challenges of running a modern industrial economy. Twenty years of ANC rule have shown conclusively that the party is hopelessly ill-equipped for this task. Indeed, everything suggests that South Africa under the ANC is fast slipping backward and that even the survival of South Africa as a unitary state cannot be taken for granted. The fundamental reason why the question of regime change has to be posed is that it is now clear that South Africa can either choose to have an ANC government or it can have a modern industrial economy. It cannot have both.'
Johnson's analysis is strikingly original and cogently argued. He has for several decades now been the senior international commentator on South African affairs, known for his lucid analysis and complete lack of deference towards the conventional wisdom.

Grave Murder: The Story Behind The Brutal Welkom Killing - Jana van der Merwe
Upon encountering Historian, Laurel Thatcher Ulrich's quote "Well behaved women seldom make history" – Malebo knew that she was tired of everyone else but herself having a say on who and what she should be. Appropriating this quote, Malebo boldly renounces societal expectations placed on her as a Black woman and shares her journey towards misbehaviour. According to Malebo, it is a norm for a Black woman to live through a society that will prescribe what it means to be a well behaved woman. Acting like this prescribed woman equals good behaviour. But what happens when a black woman decides to live her own life and becomes her own form of who she wants to be? She is often seen as misbehaving.
Miss Behave challenges society's deep-seated beliefs about what it means to be a well behaved woman. In this book, Malebo tracks her journey on a path towards achieving total autonomy and self-determinism. Miss Behave will challenge, rattle and occasionally cause you to reflect on your own life – asking yourself the question – are you truly living life the way you want to?
"Why walk when you can soar..."
These are the opening words on Tracy Todd's website and they are a powerful affirmation of the person Tracy is today – a sought-after inspirational speaker whose uplifting presentations have inspired and given hope to many people. But it is difficult to imagine what she has overcome in a tough and often lonely journey.
At the age of twenty-eight her life was turned upside down when a horrific road accident left her a quadriplegic, paralysed from the neck down. Her life as an athletic, marathon-running young mother and teacher was abruptly shattered. Despite months of rehabilitation, Tracy often found herself wondering if her life was worth living. Everything she had taken for granted was now beyond her reach and frustration at her helplessness threatened to overwhelm her. Against the odds, Tracy chose to live.
Her strength of character and determination prevailed and, sustained by the support of her son, family and friends, her care assistants, and an unbelievably caring community, she set about gaining the independence to rebuild her life and reclaim her identity – which she has done, with dignity and grace. Brave Lotus Flower Rides The Dragon is an honest, inspiring and engaging memoir in which Tracy's natural warmth and humour are tangible and, most importantly, she embodies what the human spirit can achieve.
A vivid story of the men and women who took a stand when sport mixed with politics.
In 1971, when the racially selected all-white Springbok rugby team toured Australia, it became a nation at war with itself. There was bloodshed as tens of thousands of anti-apartheid campaigners clashed with governments, police, and rugby fans - who were given free reign to assault protestors. Queensland premier Joh Bjelke-Petersen declared a state of emergency. Prime minister William McMahon called the Wallabies who refused to play 'national disgraces'. Barbed wire ringed the great rugby grounds to stop protestors invading the field.
Pitched Battle recreates what became of the most rancorous periods in modern Australian history - a time of courage, pain, faith, fanaticism, and political opportunism - which ultimately made heroes of the seven Wallabies who refused to play, played a key role in the later political careers of Peter Beattie, Meredith Burgmann, and Peter Hain, and ultimately led to the abandonment of apartheid.
Die gesprek oor Afrikaans en die bruin mense wat die skrywers in hierdie boek aanroer, is tydig in die opsig dat ná al die ambivalensie oor die Afrikaans van ons hart en die onverkwiklike manier waarop ons in hierdie taal verdruk en misken is, ons ons vry heid gekry het – wat ook verantwoordelikheid meebring om minstens onder mekaar klaarheid te vind oor wat nou vorentoe met ons taal moet gebeur.
Dit is onomstootlik so dat ons as bruin mense die aard van die Khoisan en swart African met ons saamdra. Dit is net so waar dat ons ook Europees in die Anglosaksiese sin van die woord is. Ons is tewens ook trots bewus van ons Asiatiese herkoms. Afrikaans is ook die taal van ons slawevoorouers.
Ons moet al hierdie tradisies vir onsself toe-eien.
South African higher education students have for the years 2015 and 2016 stood up to demand not only a free education but a decolonised, African-focused education. The calls for decolonisation of knowledge are the ultimate call for freedom. Without the decolonisation of knowledge, Africans may feel their liberation is inchoate and their efforts to shed Western dominance all come to naught.
Over the years various African leaders including Steve Biko wrote about the need to decolonise knowledge. The call for decolonisation is largely being equated with the search for an African identity that looks critically at Western hegemony. Biko sought the black people to understand their origins; to understand black history and affirm black identity. These are all embedded in the struggle to decolonise and search for African values and identities.
The contributors in this book treat several but connected themes that define what Africa and the diaspora require for a society devoid of colonialism and ready for a renewed Africa. "The discussions we develop and the philosophies we adopt on Pan Africanism and decolonisation are due to a bigger vision and for many of us the destination is African renaissance". Everyone has a role to play in realising African renaissance; government, churches, universities, schools, cultural organisations all have a role to play in this endeavour.
"Over the past two decades, Nene has gained a reputation both locally and internationally as a thought-leader in diversity and inclusion, values-driven leadership and transformation. She has authored numerous publications, including contributing to the book Leadership Perspectives from the Front Line. She is a member of the Diversity Collegium, a think tank of globally-recognised diversity experts. She is an associate lecturer at GIBS on Global Diversity and Unconscious Bias, as well as an associate lecturer on Transformation Strategy for the Stellenbosch Business School. She is a sought-after speaker for conferences around the world."
"The ideas and experiences shared by author Nene Molefi speak directly to the troubling prejudices and inequities that persist in our world. Diversity and inclusion are more pressing than ever. Injustices and deep social divisions persist, personally and systemically. Racism, sexism, homophobia, and other forms of fear and hatred are not isolated. They remain embedded and they demand courageous, deliberate work. In this book, Nene uses her own story to cast a bright light on the transformation journey. Nene's book quite vulnerably takes the reader on Nene's personal journey. In addition to the deeply personal content, each chapter ends with practical guidelines on how to lead inclusively. Nene's book offers hope and substance in our vision of a diverse and inclusive and just society." —Justice Edwin Cameron
Jonathan Jansen is die voormalige Rektor van die Universiteit van die Vrystaat, met 'n formidabele reputasie vir transformasie en 'n diepgewortelde verbintenis tot versoening in gemeenskappe wat met die erfenis van apartheid saamleef. In hierdie boek, Jansen se persoonlikste en mees intieme boek tot op hede, daag Suid-Afrika se geliefde professor die stereotipes en stigma uit wat so maklik op Kaapse Vlakte-ma's van toepassing gemaak word as luidrugtig, wellustig en sonder tande – en bied hy dié deernisvolle verhaal aan as 'n lofsang vir ma's oral wat op moeilike plekke gesinne moet grootmaak en gemeenskappe moet bou.
As jong man het Jansen gewonder hoe ma's dit regkry om kinders onder moeilike omstandighede groot te maak – en toe besef die antwoord is reg voor hom in die vorm van Sarah Jansen, sy eie ma. Deur haar vroeë lewe in Montagu en die gevolge van apartheid se gedwonge verskuiwings na te speur, werp Jansen lig op hoe sterk vroue nie slegs daarin geslaag het om gesinne bymekaar te hou nie, maar hulle kinders ook met integriteit groot te maak.
Met sy kenmerkende fynsinnigheid, humor en eerlikheid, volg Jansen sy ma se lewensverhaal as 'n jong verpleegster en ma van vyf kinders, en wys hy hoe dié ma's hulle verlede verwerk het, hulle huise ingerig het, sin gemaak het van die politiek, die liefde bestuur en kernwaardes gekommunikeer het – hoe hulle hulle lewens gelei het. Om sy eie herinneringe te balanseer, het Jansen hom op sy suster, Naomi, beroep om haar eie insigte en herinneringe te deel, en daardeur spesiale waarde tot hierdie roerende memoir toe te voeg.
Jonathan Jansen is the former Vice Chancellor of the University of the Free State, with a formidable reputation for transformation and for a deep commitment to reconciliation in communities living with the heritage of apartheid. In this, Jansen's most personal and intimate book to date, South Africa's beloved professor contemplates the stereotypes and stigma so readily applied to Cape Flats mothers as bawdy, lusty and gap-toothed – and offers this endearing antidote as a praise song to mothers everywhere who raise families and build communities in difficult places.
As a young man, Jansen questioned how mothers managed to raise children in trying circumstances – and then realised that the answer was right in front of him in the form of Sarah Jansen, his own mother. Tracing her early life in Montagu and the consequences of apartheid's forced removals, Jansen unpacks how strong women managed to not only keep families together, but raise them with integrity.
With his trademark delicacy, humour and frankness, Jansen follows his mother's life story as a young nurse and mother to five children, and shows how mothers dealt with their pasts, organised their homes, made sense of politics, managed affection, communicated core values – how they led their lives. As a balance to his own recollections, Jansen has called on his sister, Naomi, to offer her own insights and memories, adding special value to this touching personal memoir.
Brutally dragged 780 metres beneath a taxi – a young woman's inspiring story of survival, courage, and the will to live.
13 September 2011. The story would shock thousands and be remembered by many for years to come. It would be plastered all over the papers and continue to attract interest well after the shock factor of what happened had passed. Reports and articles would be written, and "facts", as given to reporters by some of those involved and willing to be interviewed, would be recounted and repeated in all forms of public media over the months and even years that followed. And although these versions would generate widespread outrage, none was entirely accurate.
"The stories were about me. I was there. I am Kim McCusker - the girl who was dragged by a taxi. This, as I experienced it, is the true version of events."
In 2002 Elke moved to South Africa to start a new phase of life. Having been a successful international business woman, she wanted to share her knowledge and resources. She knew little about the traumatic history of apartheid and the brutal impact of racism in the country. To serve to lead – supporting South African women to succeed was the motto of the social entrepreneurship organisation she created. The book is a powerful testimony of successful women entrepreneurs in spite of the huge challenges faced by them in a still deeply divided country.
Little did Elke know that soon she would face a deeply jarring crisis, profoundly challenging her white western identity and values which seemed ill gotten in the context of white society's racism and the brutal exclusion and oppression of black South Africans. The book tells with shocking honesty how she reached a breaking point, realizing that once again she belonged to the culture of perpetrators. She struggles with white society's denial, silence, blaming and selfish protection of false privilege; it felt so painfully similar to post Nazi Germany from where Elke fled as a young adult, feeling such shame and guilt about her parents participation and her struggle with 'loving parents and their evil choices'.
The book describes a gripping journey towards the healing power of dialogue. She meets amazing black South Africans, generous, dignified and accomplished who offer her guidance and embrace her in friendship and love. In that process, Elke shifts from anger and resentment into taking responsibility beyond shame and guilt as a descendant of Nazi parents and today as an undeservedly benefitting white South African. Together with a deeply committed Jewish educator Elke starts inter-racial dialogue sessions with school groups, students, teachers and scholars at the Holocaust Centre in Cape Town. Elke's narrative is an moving account of conversations between people of diverse backgrounds, sharing their deep seated pain and shame.
Unless there is significant change, the world is heading for an explosion. The growing gap between rich and poor is dangerous and unsustainable. The plundering of resources is damaging our planet. Something has to be done.
In this book, Jay Naidoo harnesses his experience as a labour union organiser, government minister, social entrepreneur and global thought leader, and explores ways of solving some of the world's biggest problems. Drawing from his experiences in South Africa, Nigeria, Brazil, Bangladesh and other countries, he presents a variety of options for ending poverty and global warming, with a focus on organising in our communities and building change from below and beyond borders.
Naidoo's message is unequivocal: significant action must be taken immediately if we want future generations to live in a world that we take for granted today.
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the NSRI, here is a collection of daring rescues filled with drama and danger. From burning ships to shark attacks, sinking trawlers to hallucinating fishermen, these are the stories of man's constant battle with some of the most dangerous waters on earth. But there is one story in particular that gave rise to the creation of the NSRI...
On 12 April 1966, four fishing boats put out to sea from Stilbaai on South Africa's southern coast. Soon they were all pulling in fish as fast as they could bait their hooks, and the boats were settling lower in the water. Shortly before sunset, skipper Gerhard Dreyer saw clouds building on the horizon. But the fishing was too good and they ignored the signs. Later that night a gale force wind slammed into them. 'I told the men to throw everything overboard,' Gerhard remembers. An hour before midnight, Gerhard headed for deeper water to try and ride out the swells. As dawn broke, they saw for the first time the true extent of the night's damage: among the flotsam, one man in a lifebuoy. That man was the only crewman from the other three boats to survive the terrible storm. Seventeen men died that night.
Simonstown schoolteacher Patti Price was horrified when she read the news. She began a media campaign and appealed to the president of the Society of Master Mariners. As a direct result of her efforts, the South African Inshore Rescue Service was founded in August 1966 (renamed the National Sea Rescue Institute in 1967). Today, the NSRI has 35 rescue bases and over 1 000 volunteers.
