The Presidents – Leadership in the Age of Crisis In collaboration with Penguin Random House SA
Richard Calland, Lawson Naidoo and Zelda la Grange analyse the presidents. Since 1994 South Africa had five presidents who differed radically in character and leadership style, despite the fact they all belonged to the same political party. How do Mandela, Mbeki, Motlanthe, Zuma and Ramaphosa compare in terms of strengths and weaknesses? What do South Africans yearn for in a political leader who can deal with our challenges decisively?

Kies die lewe In samewerking met NB-Uitgewers
Ivor Swartz en Haidee Muller praat oor Kies die lewe. In sy nuutste boek skryf Ivor oor sy stryd teen depressie, en pleit dat geen mens veroordeel moet word vir keuses wat hulle in die donkerste oomblikke maak nie. Hy gesels oor neerslagtigheid onder mans en tieners, en reik ’n hand uit na ouers wat ’n kind aan selfdood moes afstaan.

“Ek het die meeste van die Jakes Gerwel Gesprekke tydens die Suidoosterfees bygewoon en iets nuuts uit elkeen van hulle kon leer. Therese Hulme, Loit Sols en Ivor Swartz het my die meeste inspireer. Veral Ivor Swartz. Hy het soveel waarhede kwytgeraak. As Christen en depressielyer kon ek woord vir woord met hom saamstem. Ek het dan ook sy boek by die geleentheid gekoop sodat ek hopelik daardeur ook woorde kan vind om my storie te kan vertel. Dankie aan Jakes Gerwel Stigting vir die wonderlike werk wat hulle doen. Theo Kemp in die skaduwees……uitstekend. Ek sien uit na volgende jaar.” Estelle Le Chat
Chris Hani: A life too short In collaboration with Jonathan Ball
The assassination of Chris Hani thirty years ago and the High Court’s recent decision to grant parole to his murderer, Janusz Waluś, again raise an important question in our history: What would have been the political impact on South Africa if Hani was still alive today? Journalists Janet Smith, Beauregard Tromp, Justice Malala who recently launched his Hani story – The Plot to Save South Africa – and Ayesha Ismail discuss the history, the people, the gathering of information and the books.

“You would think that the contemporary history of Chris Hani, of the struggle towards democracy that that would have been recorded. But much of it has not. There was a series, I think I may have mentioned it to you, The Road to Democracy, volumes of oral history of people talking about training in Algeria, Egypt, the former Soviet Union … But they were all oral histories. You know we would sit down with people, and they would tell us stories and they would tell us their recollections of Hani. And then they would give us names three, four, five other people who we could speak to. And inevitably two or three of those people will pass away that week. Or they are at a funeral that week. And in that you are losing the history of our people and that created this urgency for us. We were racing against time.” Beauregard Tromp
Paul Kammies (JGF/Passa Porta Dialoog program vir skrywers van die Lae Lande en Suid-Afrika 2023 deelnemer) som op sy Suidoosterfees ondervinding so:
“Suidoostefees 28-29 April 2023
’n Festival is altyd vi my ’n solitary experience. In between the rush of people moving between shows and conversations, I don’t really feel placed. SOF isn’t really like that en ek vind maklik mense waavan ek hou. Die Artscape wôd ’n incubation chamber van inspiration, conversation — attempts for connection.
It’s the diversity, the unprejudiced energy wat echo. Die jaa het ek dai weer gevind. Chats met Audrey Jantjies waarin ons between laughter en hartseer wissel, add Loit Sôls to that mix and you transcend to conversations van
symbolism, counter-space en energy cleansing.
There’s a place for everyone.Mikayla Brown het my in some way getoor om die Sunset-Salsa social te doen (which I enjoyed). En daa’ was vele ander mense en kunstenaars wat net vir mekaa geenrich het. And when I left the Artscape, the feeling of being connected wasn’t fleeting. ek voel sentience van die gesprekke, die shows, die socialising, die fees mag — selfs as it actually net vir ’n moment is, mind ek nie, want dit gee my hoop dat ons maybe die type of space begin te hold
vir langer. ommit te steep soes blood-orange and hibiscus tea. So that more people can find out that somewhere there’s a place for them.”
“In a cloud of needles, may you find something that gives you hope.”
