Book Description
As the COVID-19 virus took hold of the world in 2020, its impact, and humanity's attempt to slow and stop its deadly course, were broadcast to all four corners of the globe. From South Africa, Larry Borowitz keenly observed the effect of the virus on a local and global scale. Poetry in the Pandemic is his memoir in the form of an anthology of poems written over the course of the first year of the Pandemic. Its broad range of themes displays a remarkable insight into how the virus held sway and the response from the public, leadership and different sectors of society in this time of crisis. Larry's impressive grasp of numerous subjects and easy-to-read lyrical style combine to create poetry that touches the soul and stimulates the mind. With its universal appeal and relevance, Larry's first, yet definitive published work, will resonate with readers the world over.

The Fall of the University of Cape Town
Author: David Benatar
Publisher: Politicsweb Publishing
ISBN: 9783982236421
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 498
Book Description
Destructive forces have been eroding the University of Cape Town, Africa's leading university. This book tells the sad, true tale of what has been transpiring. It is a saga of lunacy, criminality, pandering, and identity politics. The mad and the bad - the deranged, deluded, the depraved - have been granted endless latitude in bullying and abusing others. The decline began in 2015 with the Rhodes Must Fall protest that resulted in the offending statue's removal within a month, and which spawned similar protests abroad. Emboldened by their local success, the protestors issued new and ever-increasing demands later that year and then again in 2016 and 2017. Their methods also became criminal - including intimidation, assault, and arson. The university leadership capitulated to this behaviour, and this fostered a broader and now pervasive toxic environment within the institution. These developments offer important lessons for universities around the world that are yielding to the forces of a faux "progressivism".
