The Blue Book: A History of Western Province Cricket, 1890 – 2010

R250.00

This book provides the first comprehensive and complete history of Western Province cricket and the Cape Cobras in the 121 years from 1890 to 2011. It goes beyond any similar sports history in South Africa to date, to reveal the rich history of cricket in a region with the longest tradition of playing in the country and the continent. Based on decades of painstaking research, it overturns old, exclusive ‘official’ accounts of the past and introduces us to a wealth of new material about players, clubs and matches that were previously ‘off field’. With its 20 000 cricketers, part-owned Cape Cobras franchise and the famous 123-year-old Sahara Park Newlands Stadium, the Western Province Cricket Association has inherited the oldest tradition of cricket in South Africa.

Khamr: The Makings of a Waterslams 
Jamil F. Khan 

‘[Khan] has documented an important, spirit-healing story; a beautiful undoing of some of the unspeakable violence of Black, queer erasure from history. – Barbara Boswell, Associate Professor of English, UCT

‘When I read this book I felt less alone, I felt seen in all my complexities and hidden histories.’ – Letlhogonolo Mokgoroane, co-founder of The Cheeky Natives

Khamr is a coming-of-age story, where Khan tells the story of his grappling with classism, colourism and homophobia in a middle-class Cape Town, ‘Coloured’ community, where appearances are everything.

While being an award winning and critically acclaimed novelist, Rehana Rossouw, worked for many years as a journalist and editor. She still likes to keep her eyes on what politicans get up to, and the crucial exposé, Predator Politics: Mabuza, Fred Daniel and the Great Land Scam, is her latest bestselling muckraker. 

📚New Times by Rehana Rossouw

As South Africa enters the second year of the Mandela presidency, political reporter Ali Adams is drawn to the scent of corruption wafting into the new democracy’s politics. At home with her devout Muslim family in Bo-Kaap, Aaliya feels the building pressure of the expectations of her close-knit community. Told with Rehana’s trademark verve and exquisite attention to language, the novel draws you in to the life of Ali/Aaliya as she tries to break free from this tangle of razor-wire politics and culture. 

📚What Will People Say by Rehana Rossouw

Rossouw uses her beautifully unique voice to give life to the story of the Fourie family. Setting is key, with the family inhabiting the world of Hanover Park in the Cape Flats during the height of the struggle era. You can’t help but immerse yourself in the lives of these characters as they navigate their family relationships while faced with issues of marginalisation in their disadvantaged community, made all the more real by Rossouw’s vivid descriptions and use of Cape Flats slang.
