Tswana for beginners is a functional grammar explaining the meaning, structure and use of the various word categories. Well-formulated objectives and self-assessment questions enable students to study independently. Tswana for beginners was compiled to serve as a progression from Practical Tswana vocabulary and phrases (published by Via Afrika) and is integrated with the data contained in the trilingual dictionary Dikiinare ya Setswana-English-Afrikaans Dictionary/Woordeboek (Via Afrika). This grammar for beginners can therefore serve as an introduction to a more comprehensive knowledge of the Tswana language and culture.

Though he may not have realised it, Gaius Marius caused through his political ambition the beginnings of the fall of the Roman Republic. Presenting this view, Evans traces here Marius' rise to pre-eminence, his contribution to legislation and his involvement with other politicians. It was other politicians, this work argues, that emulated or even exceeded a dangerous precedent Marius had set.

History

This book is a revised reprint of the 1996 publication, which was a follow-up to Researching the South African market by P A Nel et al (1988). All the steps in the marketing research process are discussed -- from the formulation of the problem to the interpretation and presentation of the results. Its 18 chapters on research methodology focus chiefly on the consumer market. In addition certain areas of marketing research are singled out for discussion in individual chapters. They include 'Researching industrial markets'; 'Demand measurement and market forecasts'; 'Advertising research' and 'Media research'. The book was written with South African conditions in mind and contains a great deal of background information about the size of the South African market as illustration.

This volume focuses on analysing the meaning of proverbs within Africa. The context in which a proverb is uttered, determines meaning, so this increases the difficulty of explaining proverbs exhaustively.

The third volume in the series examines the role of anti-apartheid movements around the world and their success in both creating awareness of the liberation struggle in South Africa, and in contributing to the downfall of the apartheid government. This volume, in two parts, brings together analysis written by activist scholars with deep roots in the movements and organisations they are writing about. This first part focuses on International Solidarity with the liberation struggle. It covers the contribution of various international organisations, governments and their peoples, and solidarity organisations, to the liberation struggle in South Africa. In particular, the roles of nine western European countries are discussed: West Germany; Belgium; Austria; France; The Netherlands; Portugal; Spain; Greece and Switzerland. The second part focuses on African solidarity, with an emphasis on the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) and its Liberation Committee; various countries in the southern African region, including the role that Tanzania and Zambia played; as well as countries in west, east and North Africa. This is a major resource for historians, scholars and anyone interested in the history of South Africa, and will be valued by future generations for its sensitive collection of highly significant historical material.

<div>A prominent mystic and renowned anti-colonial warrior from Indonesia, Shaykh Yusuf of Macassar (1626-1699) was exiled to South Africa, where he played a pioneering role in laying the foundations of Islam. Offering a rich translation of Shaykh Yusuf's Arabic writings, Spiritual Path, Spiritual Reality fills an important gap on the works devoted to the spiritual dimension in the Muslim intellectual archive. The introduction gives insight into his life and an understanding of how his mysticism was connected to his political engagement. Focusing on Islamic mysticism --known as Sufism--Spiritual Path, Spiritual Reality covers areas of spiritual discipline of the self, metaphysics, and gnostic knowledge. The style is pedagogical with an instructive tone in keeping with the Sufi path.</div>
