YOU ARE INVITED TO Open presentation and discussion hosted by the Faculty of Management, the Department of Industrial Psychology and People Management and the UJ Library “South Africa, How are You?” – An unlike perspective Presented by Louis Fourie, an economist of note, from The Logic Filter. South Africans are bombarded with negative commentary about the country’s political, social and economic prospects. Some of the critique is valid and verified, but a significant share of everyday doom-saying is commanded by popular rhetoric – even blatant omission and unchallenged prejudice. We have come a long way in 21 years. To make informed decisions, we owe ourselves a more balanced analysis of our challenges and achievements. Good News about South Africa.

  • Description: The Department of Journalism, Film and Television in partnership with the UJ Library invites you to a discussion with Jani Allan, the author of Jani Confidential – A Memoir About the book: Those who remember the Just Jani column in the Sunday Times will be intrigued and delighted. Those who missed out on those heady times will be captivated by this universal story of betrayal, back-stabbing and life in the very fast lane. It is acerbic, witty, wry, bittersweet and exquisitely penned. She describes how she became a columnist, and reveals much of life behind the scenes at the Sunday Times. Jani shares details of the crucial interview with Eugène Terre’blanche, details that will shake the preconceptions and ruffle more than a few feathers. Jani’s reputation is reduced to tatters when she takes on UK’s Channel4 in a law suit that reverberated around the world and kept the public baying for blood. But in all this we are able to see the real Jani Allan behind the fabulous brittle creature that the tabloids tore to shreds and devoured and then spat out.

  • Description: The UJ Deputy Vice Chancellor Research, Postgraduate Studies and Library, Prof Tshilidzi Marwala, together with the Centre for the Study of Democracy (CSD) and the UJ Library invites you for the launch of Professor Steven Friedman’s latest book: Race, Class and Power Harold Wolpe and the Radical Critique of Apartheid Race, Class and Power examines Wolpe’s work in the political, intellectual and social contexts in which it was developed and to which it gave form. Drawing on interviews with those he worked with, disagreed with and inspired, the book also maps his influence on ideas and the culture that emerged in anti-apartheid circles in the 1970s. Wolpe’s writing is a prism through which South African society can be viewed; this book is an intellectual biography both of Wolpe and of South Africa’s left. Race, Class and Power also assesses and engages with the ongoing impact of Wolpe’s ideas into the post-apartheid present. Moreover, it suggests how Wolpe’s work can move us towards a way of thinking about and acting upon South Africa’s realities differently.
