NEW BOOK ALERT 🚨🚨🚨 Death Rattle by Lebo Matseke - join us tomorrow Joburg Artist Market as we celebrate the launch of this book with Page.Turners Mirari Press 👉🏾

“Ferociously funny, steeped in Yoruba mythology, and set inside the gilded dysfunction of Johannesburg’s Black Diamond elite, Death Rattle is a debut that announces a major new voice in African speculative fiction. Grief is a performance, class is a weapon, and the Orisha Oya has been watching from the storm clouds all along” Mirari Press

NEW BOOK ALERT 🚨🚨🚨🚨 Tsietsi Mashinini: Elusive Hero of Soweto by Sam Mathe just in time for tomorrow is published by Jonathan Ball Publishers Local

“Fifty years after the Soweto uprising, little is known about its most iconic leader, the elusive Tsietsi Mashinini, who instigated the schools’ protest that changed South Africa forever, only to flee the country, shun the ANC, share a house with Miriam Makeba, marry Miss Liberia – and be mysteriously murdered. Now, in time for the anniversary, respected author Sam Mathe – with the support of the Mashinini family – tells Tsietsi’s full story for the first time”.
