'An extraordinary tale which highlights Sapkowski's masterful character creation . . . one of the best fantasy sagas of all time'

Andrzej Sapkowski was born in 1948 in Poland. He studied economy and business, but the success of his fantasy cycle about the Witcher Geralt of Rivia turned him into a bestselling writer and he is now one of Poland's most famous and successful authors, selling more in his own country than Stephen King or Michael Crichton.

Mamkhize - My World My Rules

Honestly, I excepted a lot especially for an autography. I expected that by the time i put the book down, I would get to know who the real Mamkhize is , her world but noooooo, she is still secretive, doesn't reveal much still, and one wonders why she even wrote the book. The book is more about the Brother Sbu and a reader ends up knowing more about Sbu than Mamkhize then she should have just renamed the book and said something about a tribute to my brother. Not worth the read honestly. It leaves you with more questions than answers

When Love Kills: The Tragic tale of AKA and Anele

Wow, bought the book and once I started reading it, I couldn't put it back down. Excellent writing as expected from Melinda Ferguson and I love how she narrates the story from both sides. No Bias-ness at all and it gives a better insight on what went on between the two. Highly recommended

Eye opening

Gritty, scary, truthful are the few words I have to describe this piece of work. One cannot imagine this happening under our noses. Excellent writing.

Hilda: The Wilderness Stories

The John and Ntombi Story is one of our remarkable stories

As a SOMAFCO graduate, where John met Ntombi and their first child, Busi, was born, I was very interested in The John and Ntombi Story as part of our struggle and exile literature. However, and upon purchasing and reading The John and Ntombi Story, I was even excited to learn that I also knew their son, Sipho, who is mentioned in the book.

SOMAFCO is the Solomon Mahlangu Freedom College the ANC established in 1978 in Morogoro, Tanzania following the exodus of hundreds of young South Africans in the aftermath of the June 1976 uprisings that started in Soweto and spread throughout the country. SOMAFCO was closed in 1992.

John had been recruited to come teach at SOMAFCO and Ntombi to come help set up the kitchen facilities following her training in Zambia. Both had strong family struggle backgrounds with John’s father being one of the accused in the 1956 Treason Trail and his mother suffering arrest and banishment and Ntombi’s father being an ANC operative in South Africa and then in Swaziland where he relocated to in the end.

Both John and Ntombi left the country for boarding school, John in England and Ntombi in Swaziland before their own full-blown involvement in the struggle against apartheid, which led them to SOMAFCO and then back to England until they were able to return to South Africa following the 1990 changes that ushered in a new dispensation in our country.

Though their first child was born in Morogoro in 1986, this was before I arrived at SOMAFCO around 1987/8, having been in Dakawa first and they having gone to England by the time I arrived at SOMAFCO proper.

As one of our stories of exile, The John and Ntombi Story reads remarkable well and is full of interesting and incredible insights into our struggle and their family history, which is remarkable in and of itself beginning with their parents through to their own lives and that of their children. It is a treasure trove about a remarkable family.

It is these stories I hope we can share with others to help us better understand the complex and complicated road we have walked to the here and now with all it entails, i.e., the highs, lows, the joys and suffering, our hopes and dreams, and all the disappointments that comes with hoping and dreaming.

Consequently, I am very pleased and proud to learn of the Carneson family, their life, and history through John's obvious labour of love for his family and the life they have lived. It is a proud account of their efforts in making a life for themselves given the history and circumstances that bore us to where we are now.

As The John and Ntombi Story makes clear, we all paid for the lives we have in different ways, some great and others not so great. Often it is a marvel what we got right and what we didn't, regardless of our own little efforts in our little corner of the world. It is, however, lovely to learn of the joys, wonders, success, and struggle of our kind here before we were exiled, while we were exiled, and upon our return, which is not so commonly known until someone stumbles on a book like the one John Carneson dared to write.

I am very happy that we now have The John and Ntombi Story. Each story like this makes us all whole in some way. Whether abstract or tangible, it all matters, somehow.

In conclusion, there was a bigger promise that drove us all and we are not yet done, albeit some of us are old and tired, and frail. We are not yet done.
