The Missing Millions

This is a story about the landlessness & poverty that plague working-class black people in South Africa, & the plan devised by entrepreneurs to overcome this. The title suggests a heist, but it should be read against the biggest land grab to have occurred in our country’s history: the Natives Land Act of 1913.

In this book, they confront some of the conundrums that persist in modern-day South Africa, & the impact these have on the country’s missing millions. The question that ultimately arises is whether government should reconsider its approach to the land question by accommodating the views expressed here. These men offer government & other stakeholders a sustainable economic strategy for remedying persistent wealth disparities between black & white South Africans.

War of Dreams by Anton Venter

Alexander is a reluctant participant in World War Two. He is one of many Germans who never wanted to war, but it takes this teenager on a journey of disillusionment, self-discovery and ultimate growth. Although fiction, the story and characters are based on well-researched facts.

Much has been written about Germany’s Nazi regime and how Germany’s enemies experienced war. Has enough been written about the other side?

Why Israel? The Anatomy of...

Israel’s military occupation of Palestine is horrifically reminiscent of South Africa’s Apartheid past. Yet, pro-Israeli apologists are shocked that the Zionist entity is being compared to Apartheid South Africa. In response, Zionists ask “Why Israel?”   

South African activists, Suraya Dadoo and Firoz Osman answer that question. They examine how and why Apartheid applies to the situation in Palestine by using expert academic analysis, commentaries, articles, and blogs of well-known and highly-respected activists and human rights organisations, as well as reports from NGOs with extensive on-the-ground experience in the region.
