VAT, excl. postage): R175.00 This collection challenges, entreats, cajoles and prods one into understanding a range of issues - the loss of innocence in achieving a 'new South Africa', the President and the AIDS question, higher education and the liberal tradition, the place of English in modern South Africa, that African icon Brenda Fassie, the vagaries of journalism, and the time in the life of a country when the oppressed must free the oppressor.
