We have the pleasure of meeting someone in person with who we’ve been communicating virtually for over a year – because it was a year ago yesterday that we introduced you to Stephen McGown’s book about his time as a hostage in the Malian desert.  The book 6 Years with Al Qaeda was co-written with Tudor Caradoc Davies and became a best seller within a few weeks of its release. It was no surprise that it went on to win the Adult non-fiction category at the South African Book Awards earlier this year.

The University of Cape Town offers the only Summer School on the African continent, with programmes accessible to everyone regardless of educational qualifications or age. The lectures are for non-degree purposes and do not involve examinations.

By migrating the course content to digital platforms, the school now reaches a more diverse community around the world, including via live streaming into resource-poor communities. The Summer School offers a wide variety of courses that can be attended in person or watched live online from the comfort of your own home anywhere in the world.

  They're currently offering some special discounts on courses, so instead of spending on Black Friday, enroll at UCT!

The SAMA-nominated musician will be in concert this weekend, as he kicks off a series of live summer concerts called Sun-Set@Baxter, taking place in the newly landscaped Baxter Garden this November.

He'll be performing songs from his debut album Fire, for which he received the SAMA nomination for Best Contemporary Album.
