‘The 30-year-old South Africa has learned. It has come of age. It has made its mark in the global community – from sport, arts, music, science and innovation to politics, trade and other human endeavours. It has competed for its rightful place under the sun. It has been accommodated and nurtured. It has been rejected and failed. It has taken care of many of its children, whilst some feel neglected.’

As South Africa celebrates 30 years of democracy, we're celebrating the upcoming release of 'Liberation Diaries: Reflections on 30 years of democracy' edited by Busani Ngcaweni!

Ngcaweni has pulled together a great variety of deeply-thought and deeply-felt considerations of this SA at 30.

Get ready for a thought-provoking and insightful read.
