Book excerpt: "Black tax is not so much about money as it is about boundaries.

Helping others is commendable, but how do you do it in such a way that you avoid debt and stop the poverty cycle for future generations?

Each story explores different themes and complexities on the black tax spectrum, followed by reflections on how each situation could have been handled in a way that is peaceful and non-threatening to your relationships with loved ones. Handle Black Tax Like a Pro is an engaging and practical guide that will provide you with a roadmap to stronger relationships, better finances and overall well-being."--Publisher's description.

Download or read book Black Tax written by Niq Mhlongo and published by Jonathan Ball Publishers. This book was released on 2019-09-12 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'The real significance of this book lies in the fact that it tells us more about the everyday life of black South Africans. It delves into the essence of black family life and the secret anguish of family members who often battle to cope.' – Niq Mhlongo A secret torment for some, a proud responsibility for others, 'black tax' is a daily reality for thousands of black South Africans. In this thought-provoking and moving anthology, a provocative range of voices share their deeply personal stories. With the majority of black South Africans still living in poverty today, many black middle-class households are connected to working-class or jobless homes. Some believe supporting family members is an undeniable part of African culture and question whether it should even be labelled as a kind of tax. Others point to the financial pressure it places on black students and professionals, who, as a consequence, struggle to build their own wealth. Many feel they are taking over what is essentially a government responsibility. The contributions also investigate the historical roots of black tax, the concept of the black family and the black middle class. In giving voice to so many different perspectives, Black Tax hopes to start a dialogue on this widespread social phenomenon.
Download or read book UNPACKING BLACK TAX AFFAIRS written by BONGINKOSI S SITHOLE and published by Gospel Ink Publishers. This book was released on 2021-02-24 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you feeling dragged back to poverty? Are you in a stage where you could just give up your life because of family pressure? Do you think you absolutely have nothing to do with black Tax and that it doesn’t affect you? This book is for you, trust me. It will help you clarify the confusion about the Black Tax. It will help the black community fight black poverty and get healed from the injuries of the past. I have been in a position to see people ready to give up their lives because of heavy burdens; most of these people will often complain about Black Tax or complain about being abused by their families since they are now working. I also read many stories of young professionals who committed suicide, primarily because they’re over-indebted. As a life coach and a spiritual leader, I have spoken to many young people who were unclear about the question: Should I help at home or not? If I do, to what extent should I do? I have realized that we are still injured as a black community, and if we don’t talk about these injuries, we will remain in pain and cause the next generation severe pains. I grew up in a low-income family, and even after I graduated and got a job, it took me a while to liberate myself and my family from poverty. I did everything I thought I could, but instead, I was depressed, hopeless, and complaining about everything. I was on the verge of committing suicide because of the load I carried to myself. The truth is most of us black people are either directly or indirectly affected by black Tax. It broke my heart when I heard a young man saying I couldn’t get married because “she had a lot to back home. However, I am broken because I still love her” I realized that black poverty is following us everywhere and it will continue to attempt to hurt us until we surrender or decide that we fight it back. The most painful part is that we look so concerned about black lives, especially on the online social platforms; however, we only care about ourselves in reality. We speak solidarity in meetings and social gatherings to look relevant, but it’s not the case in practice. It is so painful that back in the days, a community wouldn’t leave a child to sleep hungry, and they would do that in a manner that dignified a life of a black child. Today poor black people have become social media auction material. I believe it’s time we act in a way that will liberate us from poverty, and that will re-unite us once more. When our earlier leaders said “Alutha Continua,” they were not just saying a slogan, but they meant that the struggle should continue until a black child is not always a poverty subject.

Download or read book Africa s Wild Dogs written by Jocelin Kagan and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are roughly 6,600 wild dogs left in Africa yet they have cast such a spell on top wildlife photographer and naturalist Jocelin Kagan that she is determined to help save them. If left to their own devices, they are more than capable of thriving, as this sumptuous photographic natural history shows. Jocelin has called in world experts to add their latest findings about these resourceful, graceful and highly skilled family groups. Nomadic predators whose territories range thousands of kilometres, they hunt co-operatively, preying on small herbivores. Non-confrontational, they form complex bonds as this book reveals. Now restricted to small populations and threatened by some shoot-to-kill policies, habitat fragmentation, diseases from domestic dogs, climate change and snares, as well as natural predation from hyenas and lions, Africa's wild dogs will be supported by all the royalties from this book.
Download or read book Tax Compliance and Tax Morale written by Benno Torgler and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book will be of considerable assistance to students and other researchers working in the area of compliance behaviour, or more generally, in the area of designing empirical studies. Margaret McKerchar, The British Accounting Review Torgler s book is a valuable contribution to the tax field, especially as it pioneers research into tax morale that is in its infancy and helps redress the US domination of the tax-compliance literature. It places econometric analysis where it rightly belongs as the supporting act, not the main feature! and takes a holistic approach in attempting to explain the complex area of human behaviour that tax compliance involves, whatever the country. Jeff Pope, Agenda Benno Torgler has written an exciting and important book. His careful and imaginative use of survey and experimental data explores important behavioral and institutional dimensions of tax policy and administration that have been too long neglected. The book provides a thorough exposition of what we now know about these issues as well as a rich menu of suggestions about how to do empirical research on the relation between citizens and states and how to build social capital through rethinking how states tax their citizens. Richard M. Bird, University of Toronto, Canada The question of why citizens pay their taxes has attracted increased attention in the tax compliance literature of late. In this book, Benno Torgler considers the evidence that suggests that enforcement efforts cannot fully explain the high degree of tax compliance within society. To attempt to resolve this puzzle, numerous researchers have argued that citizens attitudes towards paying taxes (defined as tax morale) help to explain the high degree of compliance. Yet most have treated tax morale itself as a black box, failing to discuss the issues influencing it. This unique volume provides important new insights into the factors that shape the emergence and maintenance of citizens willingness to cooperate with tax legislations in different societies. Distinctive in its examination of citizen tax morale and tax compliance, this book will be of great interest to academics, researchers and students concerned with economics, political science, sociology, social psychology and accounting. It will also appeal to policymakers and practitioners.
Download or read book Born a Crime written by Trevor Noah and published by One World. This book was released on 2016-11-15 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • More than one million copies sold! A “brilliant” (Lupita Nyong’o, Time), “poignant” (Entertainment Weekly), “soul-nourishing” (USA Today) memoir about coming of age during the twilight of apartheid “Noah’s childhood stories are told with all the hilarity and intellect that characterizes his comedy, while illuminating a dark and brutal period in South Africa’s history that must never be forgotten.”—Esquire Winner of the Thurber Prize for American Humor and an NAACP Image Award • Named one of the best books of the year by The New York Time, USA Today, San Francisco Chronicle, NPR, Esquire, Newsday, and Booklist Trevor Noah’s unlikely path from apartheid South Africa to the desk of The Daily Show began with a criminal act: his birth. Trevor was born to a white Swiss father and a black Xhosa mother at a time when such a union was punishable by five years in prison. Living proof of his parents’ indiscretion, Trevor was kept mostly indoors for the earliest years of his life, bound by the extreme and often absurd measures his mother took to hide him from a government that could, at any moment, steal him away. Finally liberated by the end of South Africa’s tyrannical white rule, Trevor and his mother set forth on a grand adventure, living openly and freely and embracing the opportunities won by a centuries-long struggle. Born a Crime is the story of a mischievous young boy who grows into a restless young man as he struggles to find himself in a world where he was never supposed to exist. It is also the story of that young man’s relationship with his fearless, rebellious, and fervently religious mother—his teammate, a woman determined to save her son from the cycle of poverty, violence, and abuse that would ultimately threaten her own life. The stories collected here are by turns hilarious, dramatic, and deeply affecting. Whether subsisting on caterpillars for dinner during hard times, being thrown from a moving car during an attempted kidnapping, or just trying to survive the life-and-death pitfalls of dating in high school, Trevor illuminates his curious world with an incisive wit and unflinching honesty. His stories weave together to form a moving and searingly funny portrait of a boy making his way through a damaged world in a dangerous time, armed only with a keen sense of humor and a mother’s unconventional, unconditional love.

Download or read book The SABC 8 written by Foeta Krige and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In 2016, the country watched as eight journalists stood up to the public broadcaster to dissent against the censorship imposed by COO Hlaudi Motsoeneng and the capture of the newsroom. They would become known as the SABC8. While many may remember the headlines, photos and footage that circulated during that time, few know the real story: the way lives were changed while history was being made. Now Foeta Krige, one of the SABC8, shares his version of events: how it came about that eight very different journalists from within the public broadcaster, each with their own unique background and motivation, were brought together by circumstance to fight the mighty SABC in the name of media freedom. This forms the backdrop for a lesser-known story - one of death threats, intimidation, assault and the eventual death of Suna Venter. Her death shocked the nation and baffled investigators. Was it a natural death caused by stress, or were there more sinister forces involved? To understand why her death was red-flagged, it is necessary to retrace her steps and how they converged with those of the seven other journalists. Krige takes the reader back to the day when everything started, telling the gripping, and often harrowing, story behind the sensational headlines."-- Back cover.
Download or read book Listen to Your Footsteps written by Kojo Baffoe and published by Pan Macmillan South africa. This book was released on 2021-06-01 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kojo Baffoe embodies what it is to be a contemporary African man. Of Ghanaian and German heritage, he was raised in Lesotho and moved to South Africa at the age of 27. Forever curious, Kojo has the enviable ability to simultaneously experience moments intimately and engage people (and their views) sincerely, while remaining detached enough to think through his experiences critically. He has earned a reputation as a thinker, someone who lives outside the box and free of the labels that society seeks to place on us. Listen to Your Footsteps is an honest and, at times, raw collection of essays from a son, a father, a husband, a brother and a man deeply committed to doing the internal work. Kojo reflects on losing his mother as a toddler, being raised by his father, forming an identity, living as an immigrant, his tussles with substance abuse, as well as his experiences of fatherhood, marriage and making a career in a fickle industry. He gives an extended glimpse into the experiences that make boys become men, and the battles that make men discover what they are made of, all the while questioning what it means to be ‘a man’.
