A Captain’s Journey
Author: Neil Tovey
Publisher: Penguin Random House South Africa
ISBN: 1776094042
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 268
Book Description
South Africans of all races remember the moment when Neil Tovey raised the Africa Cup of Nations trophy in 1996, with Nelson Mandela at his side wearing his number 9 jersey. It still represents South Africa’s greatest success in international football. In his long-awaited autobiography, Tovey tells his fascinating life story, describing his modest upbringing in Durban, his entry to a mainly black sport in a deeply segregated 1980s South Africa, and his time as captain of Kaizer Chiefs and Bafana Bafana. He recalls his introduction to ‘muti’ rituals by team members and his growing popularity among Chiefs supporters, who nicknamed him Mokoko (boss chicken). Tovey also writes about his experiences as a coach and as technical director of the South African Football Association (SAFA), and shares his insights about the state of the sport today. He talks frankly about his family life and about surviving two heart attacks, and gives insights into leadership and success. This book will appeal to all football fans, but it is also a fascinating story of a man who has lived a truly South African life.

Beyond Memory
Author: Max Mojapelo
Publisher: African Minds
ISBN: 1920299289
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 377
Book Description
South Africa possesses one of the richest popular music traditions in the world - from marabi to mbaqanga, from boeremusiek to bubblegum, from kwela to kwaito. Yet the risk that future generations of South Africans will not know their musical roots is very real. Of all the recordings made here since the 1930s, thousands have been lost for ever, for the powers-that-be never deemed them worthy of preservation. And if one peruses the books that exist on South African popular music, one still fi nds that their authors have on occasion jumped to conclusions that were not as foregone as they had assumed. Yet the fault lies not with them, rather in the fact that there has been precious little documentation in South Africa of who played what, or who recorded what, with whom, and when. This is true of all music-making in this country, though it is most striking in the musics of the black communities. Beyond Memory: Recording the History, Moments and Memories of South African Music is an invaluable publication because it offers a first-hand account of the South African music scene of the past decades from the pen of a man, Max Thamagana Mojapelo, who was situated in the very thick of things, thanks to his job as a deejay at the South African Broadcasting Corporation. This book - astonishing for the breadth of its coverage - is based on his diaries, on interviews he conducted and on numerous other sources, and we find in it not only the well-known names of recent South African music but a countless host of others whose contribution must be recorded if we and future generations are to gain an accurate picture of South African music history of the late 20th and early 21st centuries.

Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 206
Book Description
The modern state is hugely important in our everyday lives. It takes nearly half our income in taxes. It registers our births, marriages and deaths. It educates our children and pays our pensions. It has a unique power to compel, in some cases exercising the ultimate sanction of preserving life or ordering death. Yet most of us would struggle to say exactly what the state is. The Modern State offers a clear, comprehensive and provoking introduction to one of the most important phenomena of contemporary life. Topics covered include: * the nation state and its historical context * state and economy * state and societies * state and citizens * international relations * the future of the state

The Unknown Hero
Author: Jimmy Mojapelo
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Lyricists
Languages : en
Pages : 140
Book Description
The Unknown Hero is a tribute to all disabled people worldwide, written tongue-in-cheek by unsighted poet-composer-producer-comedian, Jimmy Mojapelo, with no holds barred. The book is a first in South African publishing circles, and a milestone in the annals of Black history. Mojapelo has assembled an exciting 'mixed bag' of literature with a mass appeal: a semi-autobiography about his switchboard operator days in Soweto; life at the Athlone School for the Blind and how students responded to bells, bells and more bells; the formation of the All Rounders music band and his own career in showbizness. Included are some of his lyrics popularized by 'Sotho Reggae' singer, Kori Moraba, like 'Tswang, tswang, tswang', etc, and several poems rounded off with the title of the book - a poignant and rivetting eulogy about 'Our Leader is Dead, Long Live Our Leader'. Who is this leader? Is it Kwame Nkrumah, Steve Biko, Mangaliso Sobukwe, Malcolm X, Dr Martin Luther King, Samora Machel, Ma-Ngoyi? Or ... In his own hilarious manner, Jimmy Mojapelo proves to society how human and ordinary the disabled are. And his own love for the people is not 'blind'.
