We Are No Longer at Ease
R200.00
We are no longer at ease is a collection of personal articles, essays, speeches and poetry mainly from voices of young people who were part of the student led protest movement known as #FeesMustFall, which began in 2015. It tells the journey of the youth who participated in a movement that redefined politics in post apartheid South Africa and is evidence of a ‘born free’ generation telling their own story and leading the discourse and action in transforming South Africa.
Young people are not at ease. They are refusing to coexist with coloniality, sexism, democratic indifference and inequality. We need to acknowledge and take heed to their calls. This collection includes works by former student leaders turned researchers such as David Maimela and Asanda Luwaca, student newspaper journalists who covered the protests, like Natasha Ndlebe and Nkateko Mabasa; public intellectuals whose aim was to inform broader society of the key aspects of the movement, like Sisonke Msimang lectures who assisted the students to articulate and find clarity in voicing their ideas such as Sabelo J Ndlovu Gatsheni and most importantly the foot soldiers on the ground who led the students through the police brutality of rubber bullets and pepper spray, like Mcebo Dlamini, Ntokozo Qwabe and Sarah Mokweba.

#1 New York Times bestselling author John C. Maxwell’s latest book will enhance the lives of leaders, professionals, and anyone who wants to achieve success and personal growth.
We often treat the word capacity as if it were a natural law of limitation. Unfortunately, most of us are much more comfortable defining what we perceive as off limits rather than what’s really possible. Could it be that many of us have failed to expand our potential because we have allowed what we perceive as capacity to define us? What if our limits are not really our limits?
In his newest book, John Maxwell identifies 17 core capacities. Some of these are abilities we all already possess, such as energy, creativity and leadership. Others are aspects of our lives controlled by our choices, like our attitudes, character, and intentionality. Maxwell examines each of these capacities, and provides clear and actionable advice on how you can increase your potential in each. He will guide you on how to identify, grow, and apply your critical capacities. Once you’ve blown the “cap” off your capacities, you’ll find yourself more successful–and fulfilled–in your daily life.

Perhaps the best written of all the slave narratives, Twelve years a slave is a harrowing memoir about on of the darkest periods in American history. It recounts how Solomon Northup, born a free man in New York, was lured to Washington, DC., in 1841 with the promise of fast money, then drugged and beaten and sold into slavery. He spent the next twelve years of his life in captivity on a Louisiana cotton plantation.
After his rescue, Northup published the exceptionally vivid and detailed account of slave life. It became an immediate bestseller and today is recognized for its unusual insight and eloquence as one of the very few portraits of American slavery produced by someone as educated as Solomon Northup, or by someone with the dual perspective of having been both a free man and a slave. In 2013, Twelve years a slave was adapted for film by Director Steve McQueen and earned three academy awards, including the best picture.

What you are today is not important . . . for in this runaway bestseller you will learn how to change your life by applying the secrets you are about to discover in the ancient scrolls. “I will persist until I succeed.
I was not delivered into this world into defeat, nor does failure course in my veins. I am not a sheep waiting to be prodded by my shepherd. I am a lion and I refuse to talk, to walk, to sleep with the sheep.
The slaughterhouse of failure is not my destiny.
I will persist until I succeed.”

Errigo, Manager, U. S. Sales Trainer at Parke, Davis & Company

A call to Servant Leadership
Afrika Mhlophe turns us back to the true definition of godly leadership, reminding leaders that their purpose is to serve.
All too often, leaders pursue materialism and a title, instead of concentrating on God’s specific mandate for their lives. In A Passion for Position, Afrika Mhlophe tackles the timely issue of leadership and how it can be misused in today’s society. He turns us back to the true definition of godly leadership, reminding leaders that their purpose is to serve. Their value is not defined by their number of Facebook followers or how many congregants attend their church, but by fulfilling the role God ordained for them, no matter how seemingly insignificant.
Mhlophe believes that genuine godly leaders have a love-relationship with God that is not defined by performance, but a desire to please God, not man. Such leaders are Christians first and leaders second. A Passion for Position will enable readers to lead with integrity and to be motivated by the Lord, not people, living their lives to an audience of One.
