Memoirs for Kimya by Shafinaaz Hassim

Memoirs for Kimya

We move through life as it moves through us. We make up stories in our minds. And often these stories overlap. We hope with all our heart.

We dream. We love, often deeply. We experience some gains and some losses. Each of these moments leave an imprint on the rich tapestry of our souls. Sometimes the only way to share the awesomeness is by whispering a few words on the wind. Memoirs for Kimya is a collection of whispers and a tribute to the many people we meet along life’s journey.

The Hidden Side of South African Politics by Motsoko Pheko

The Hidden Side of South African Politics

“We must discover our mission for our country and our African Continent, and then fulfil it, and not betray it”, reads the last line in the book published by Tokoloho Publishers, entitled The Hidden Side of South African Politics by Dr Motsoko Pheko, former Member of the South African Parliament.

It is this last line that embodies the truth, reflections and insights of our country’s politics, especially of the liberation movements and what they achieved or did not achieve.
