- Description: The UJ SARChi Chair: African Diplomacy and Foreign Policy and Jacana Media in partnership with the UJ Library, invite you to a discussion with Senator David Coltart the author of The struggle continues: 50 years of tyranny in Zimbabwe ABOUT THE BOOK: For three decades, Coltart has kept detailed notes and records of all his work, including a meticulous diary of Cabinet dealings, the source material for much of his book. It is set to be the most authoritative book to date of the last sixty years of Zimbabwe’s history: from the obstinate racism of Ian Smith that provoked Rhodesia’s Unilateral Declaration of Independence from Britain in 1965, to the civil war of the 1970s, the Gukurahundi genocide of the 1980s, Robert Mugabe’s war on white landowners, and the struggles waged by the MDC. A key theme throughout the book is the role of political extremists who have consistently subverted Zimbabwe’s chances of realising its true potential. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: David Coltart is one of the most prominent political and human rights figures in Zimbabwe. Born and schooled in Zimbabwe, he trained in law at the University of Cape Town, and has served as principal defence counsel for a wide range of Zimbabwean politicians who have fallen afoul of Robert Mugabe’s regime. Coltart also served as the first legal secretary to the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC), Zimbabwe’s primary opposition party. In 2000, he was elected to Parliament and, following the creation of a ‘coalition’ government in September 2008, he was appointed Minister of Education, Sport, Arts and Culture, a position he held until August 2013. He is a Zimbabwean citizen, and is resident in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. He has served three terms in Parliament, ending in the Senate.

- Description: BestRed, an imprint of HSRC Press, in partnership with the UJ Library, invites you to a discussion with MICHAEL SCHMIDT, the author of A Taste of Bitter Almonds: Perdition and Promise in South Africa. ABOUT THE BOOK: A Taste of Bitter Almonds is a challenging new view from the ground on race and class that interrogates the continuities between apartheid’s autocracy and today’s troubled democracy in the world’s most unequal society. The book’s themes of identity, dispossession, and reclamation are grounded in the colonial era: examining the multiracial nature of settler colonisation and the First Nations Genocide sets the scene for an exploration of the maintenance of apartheid geography and conditions of exclusion under democracy, from zama-zama coal-miners and poor whites, to prostitutes and pogromists, witches and wastrels, lesbians and land claimants. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Michael Schmidt is an investigative journalist, anarchist militant, free press activist and published historian. He is the co-author, with Prof Lucien van der Walt, of Black Flame: the Revolutionary Class Politics of Anarchism and Syndicalism (USA, 2009), and the author of Cartography of Revolutionary Anarchism (USA, 2013), and of Drinking with Ghosts: the Aftermath of Apartheid’s Dirty War (SA, 2014).
