Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sought after by European aristocrats and a favorite of Napoleon Bonaparte, the sweet wines of Constantia in the Cape Colony were considered to be among the worldÕs best during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. During the first democratic elections in 1994, South Africa began to re-emerge onto the international wine scene. Tim James, an expert on South African wines, takes the reader on an information-packed tour of the region, showing us how and why the unique combination of terroir and climate, together with dramatic improvements in winemaking techniques, result in wines that are once again winning accolades. James describes important grape varieties and wine stylesÑfrom delicate sparkling, to rich fortified, and everything in betweenÑincluding the varietal blends that produce some of the finest Cape wines. Anchoring his narrative in a rich historical context, James discusses all the major wine regions, from Cederberg to Walker Bay, complete with profiles of more than 150 of the countryÕs finest producers.

Download or read book From Revolution to Rights in South Africa written by Steven L. Robins and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2010-11-18 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author argues for the continued importance of NGOs, social movements and other 'civil society' actors in creating new forms of citizenship and democracy in South Africa. Critics of liberalism in Europe and North America argue that a stress on 'rights talk' and identity politics has led to fragmentation, individualisation and depoliticisation. But are these developments really signs of 'the end ofpolitics'? In the post-colonial, post-apartheid, neo-liberal new South Africa poor and marginalised citizens continue to struggle for land, housing and health care. They must respond to uncertainty and radical contingencies on a daily basis. This requires multiple strategies, an engaged, practised citizenship, one that links the daily struggle to well organised mobilisation around claiming rights. Robins argues for the continued importance of NGOs, socialmovements and other 'civil society' actors in creating new forms of citizenship and democracy. He goes beyond the sanitised prescriptions of 'good governance' so often touted by development agencies. Instead he argues for a complex, hybrid and ambiguous relationship between civil society and the state, where new negotiations around citizenship emerge. Steven L. Robins is Professor of Social Anthropology in the University of Stellenbosch and editorof Limits to Liberation after Apartheid (James Currey).

Download or read book South Africa s Suspended Revolution written by Adam Habib and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 2013-09-18 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: South Africa’s Suspended Revolution tells the story of South Africa’s democratic transition and the prospects for the country to develop a truly inclusive political system. Beginning with an account of the transition in the leadership of the African National Congress from Thabo Mbeki to Jacob Zuma, the book then broadens its lens to examine the relationship of South Africa’s political elite to its citizens. It also examines the evolution of economic and social policies through the democratic transition, as well as the development of a postapartheid business community and a foreign policy designed to re-engage South Africa with the world community. Written by one of South Africa’s leading scholars and political commentators, the book combines historical and contemporary analysis with strategies for an alternative political agenda. Adam Habib connects the lessons of the South African experience with theories of democratic transition, social change, and conflict resolution. Political leaders, scholars, students, and activists will all find material here to deepen their understanding of the challenges and opportunities of contemporary South Africa.

Book excerpt: What do the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) stand for? How do they propose to nationalize mines, banks, and land? Is Julius Malema, the founder of the EFF, equipped to legislate or to lead? These tough questions are asked in The Coming Revolution: Julius Malema and the Fight for Economic Freedom.

Download or read book South Africa written by Donough Mcgillycuddy and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-09-29 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: South Africa: Reflections on a Revolution is an articulately written, vibrant and comprehensive account for inquisitive minds all over the globe. It discusses the troubled history of this complex continent, highlights its eclectic mix of people and fascinating culture, and draws on the comparisons with its Central European Caucasian cousins. Seeing Africa through the eyes of the Irish author (who emigrated with his late wife to a stock farm in Southern Drakensberg in their 60s, and who has a fascinating hereditary link in global politics) brings a refreshing perspective to this complex subject. Having formed strong friendships with local Zulus and settled white South Africans, the author also unearthed a great interest in KwaZulu-Natal, and shares his experiences with passion and diplomacy. He discusses in detail the massacre (in cold blood) of 16 striking miners at Marikana, the follow-up assassination of fugitives (many shot in the back, by police) and the shiver this sent rippling around the world. He also shares details of the subsequent Commission of Inquiry, the weaknesses of the South African Police Service (SAPS) and the scrupulous antics of those in the highest echelons of authority. But what also makes this book stand out amongst others is the author's finely detailed insights in South African history, that stretch far beyond what one would normally expect. The story of the Zulu people whose army wiped out the British forces in 1879 at Isandlwana, the recruitment of thousands of Irish soldiers, civil servants and nurses by the English for the two Anglo-Boer wars, the fascinating take on King Shaka and his military prowess, and Henry Fynn's heroic exploits are shared intelligibly, and with great energy and insight. This is a credible, well-researched book that offers a deep and rich understanding of this complex country and its thought-provoking history.
Download or read book Beyond the Miracle written by Allister Haddon Sparks and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mandela's triumphant welcome as President of South Africa was one of the greatest defining moments of the 20th century. This book analyses brilliantly what has happened since in one of the world's few successful bloodless revolutions. South Africa has undergone a revolution in 15 years which has been largely unnoticed. It has been transformed from an apartheid state cut off from the rest of the world into an open multi-racial democracy. It has been a peaceful transformation, almost without parallel in history anywhere in the world. Compared to Russia's change after communism it has been a triumph. But of course there have been problems: the AIDS pandemic that threatens all Africa's future, and in education, expectations have far exceeded the difficult reality. Crime is a serious problem and the economy, now prey for the first time to globalisation and the whims of international investors is faltering. But it is one of the most vibrant and exciting places in the world, and a microcosm of the rest of the world: this is the multi-cultural society that Europe is becoming through immigration and this is a country where the impoverished poor meet the super-rich every day. This is an exceptional book by the greatest living commentator on South Africa.

Book excerpt: The Definitive Guide to Doing Business in Africa For global and Africa-based companies looking to access new growth markets, Africa offers exciting opportunities to build large, profitable businesses. Its population is young, fast-growing, and increasingly urbanized--while rapid technology adoption makes the continent a fertile arena for innovation.

From senior leaders in McKinsey's African offices and a leading executive on the continent, this book draws on in-depth proprietary research by the McKinsey Global Institute as well as McKinsey's extensive experience advising corporate and government leaders across Africa. Brimming with company case studies and exclusive interviews with some of Africa's most prominent executives, this book comes to life with the vibrant stories of those who have navigated the many twists and turns on the road to building successful businesses on the continent. Combining an unrivalled fact base with expert advice on shaping and executing an Africa growth strategy, this book is required reading for global business executives looking to expand their existing operations in Africa--and for those seeking a road map to access this vast, untapped market for the first time.
