I do not hate boys, I hate men.This provocative statement sets the stage for a searing exploration of the complex relationship South African society holds with its Black and Coloured men and boys. Dr Mzamo Masitos urgent new book, This Country hates Our Boys, confronts the pervasive cold and hot love that often translates into collective male guilt. When a child goes missing, a collective sigh of relief by men is heard when the blame points to maternal filicide, such as headlines like South African woman guilty of kidnapping and trafficking daughter aged 6 (BBC).The widely accepted phrase amadoda zizinja men are dogs is more than a colloquialism; its a symptom of a society where positive masculine role models are scarce. This linguistic shortcut flattens the nuanced reality of masculinity into a single, simplistic concept of patriarchy, obscuring the complex, chaotic social issues at play.Through the vital work of African Men Care, a non-profit organisation, Dr Masito unpacks the interlocking crises facing Black boys and men: educational disparities, mental health struggles, pervasive violence, and fractured relationships. More crucially, the book illuminates a clear path forward.Every man is every boy is not merely an observation but a powerful call to action. The struggles of adult men today are often rooted in the unaddressed needs and unrealised potential of the boys they once were. The lament awekho amadoda (there are no men) serves as a stark warning: without decisive intervention, we risk losing entire generations. This book reveals how individual trauma metastasises into a collective crisis. When boys lack robust interior lives and positive identity models, the repercussions echo through families, schools, and communities. Hurt boys mature into hurting men, perpetuating cycles that impact everyone, including the girls and women in their lives.This Country Hates Our Boys is essential reading for men, educators, policymakers, community leaders, parents, and anyone committed to breaking cycles of hurt and forging futures where all young people can thrive. The ultimate goal is revolutionary in its simplicity: to empower both girls and boys, ensuring no child is left behind.

"He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you."In 1886, Friedrich Nietzsche released a "prelude to a philosophy of the future" that would shatter the foundations of Western ethics. Beyond Good and Evil is a fierce, poetic, and uncompromising attack on the "dogmatism" of traditional philosophers and the herd mentality of modern society. Nietzsche invites the reader to step out of the shadows of inherited values and into the sunlight of intellectual independence.The Will to Power: Moving beyond the simple binaries of "good" and "evil," Nietzsche introduces the Will to Powerthe fundamental driving force of all living things to grow, dominate, and create. He argues that morality is not a universal truth but a tool used by different classes to assert their will. Through a series of 296 searing aphorisms, he challenges us to become "Free Spirits" capable of creating our own values in a world without absolute certainties.A Blueprint for the Individual: Nietzsches prose is a "hammer" meant to test the resonance of existing idols. He critiques everything from the "prejudices of philosophers" to the rise of nationalism and democracy, which he views as a leveling of human potential. Beyond Good and Evil remains one of the most provocative works in history, essential for anyone brave enough to question the very fabric of their reality and the origin of their convictions.Challenge everything you believe. Purchase "Beyond Good and Evil" today and begin your journey toward the Overman.

R.W. Johnsons articles and essays travel far beyond Southern Africa, reaching readers across continents. Their appeal lies not only in their acuity but also in his exceptional range of subjects political, historical and cultural. As a former Oxford don and a leading international commentator, Johnson remains unmatched as an interpreter of national and world events.Whether hes writing about politics in South Africa, Europe or the United States, the new space race, the leading personalities of our time, or even soccer, his views are always sharp, clear, deeply informed and original.These essays belong unmistakably to the tradition of George Orwell. Orwell aspired to make political writing an art form, but his finest essays even those on seemingly trivial subjects such as boys comics revealed both a penetrating intelligence and remarkable breadth. Johnsons writing is similar in spirit: like Orwells, his essays can be read consecutively or dipped into at random, each one offering something striking and original.The result is A Roving Eye, a book that is not just distinctive but truly unique, marked by depth, range, humanity and a rare sophistication.R.W. Johnson, author of 17 books and innumerable articles, attended schools in the UK and South Africa, did his first degree at the University of Natal and was then a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford. For 26 years he was a Fellow and Tutor at Magdalen College, Oxford and he remains a Fellow of the College. An expert in French, British, American and South African politics, his books have ranged over all these interests and for many years he also wrote for The (London) Times, Sunday Times, the London Review of Books, Le Monde Diplomatique and other titles in the international media. Johnsons writings have been widely praised and have often excited controversy. He is a master of the essay form and his essays have had a wide circulation. He is married to the Russian scholar, Irina Filatova, and they live in Cape Town.

James Agees Let Us Now Praise Famous Men is a compelling exploration of the lives of impoverished sharecroppers in the rural American South during the Great Depression.

Ethical AI A Myth? Gina Bronner-Martin demonstrates why machines can never act morally. Not due to technical deficits, but because they fundamentally lack consciousness, intentionality, and responsibility. She exposes the illusion of "ethical AI" and poses the critical questions: Who controls these systems? Who bears responsibility for their consequences?Rather than relying on algorithmic self-regulation, she demands binding democratic control and institutionalized accountability. A decisive counterproposal to technological utopianism for all who want to understand why the problem cannot be solved through better algorithms.This monograph is based on the paper "Ethical AI as a Moral Agent is Impossible: Why Algorithmic Fairness is an Illusion and We Need Democratic AI Governance."
