Nico is the victim of a gunshot wound who, mysteriously, disappears from his hospital bed. Determined to uncover the truth behind Dlamini's disappearance Jason finds himself up against powerful people in government who'll go to any lengths to protect their positions and retain their power.

In 2010, as South Africa prepared for the World Cup, Time magazine contributor CL Bell travels to the old Transkei, Nelson Mandela's heartland, to report on how democracy has changed the lives for those who still live in tribal villages, under the rule of chiefs. The stories she uncovers, including those of women chiefs living in fear of assassination, give voice to South Africans who are rarely heard. Homeland, however, is more than reportage. CL Bell was part of the last generation of white South Africans to grow up under apartheid. As she travels deeper into the Xhosa tribal lands, Bell comes face to face with the deep scars within her: the ignorance and fears born of an apartheid childhood. Homeland does not set out to provide an exhaustive account of the complexity of contemporary South African politics, rather it is an essay on how we make sense of the present when we are shackled by our past. It would sit comfortably on the shelf alongside Alexander Fuller's Scribbling the Cat and Doris Lessing's Going Home.

The fall of Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan in 1945 created a new world divided into East and West. A new war was about to be fought that wasn't going to be won with soldiers and bombs, but with words, will and ideology. However, this new world created an inevitable cascade of events that would only serve to destroy the old order of the European empires and replace it with a new world order. This new order would eventually come into direct opposition against South Africa, a nation of ideal platitudes and contradictions. The new Prime Minister, Hendrik Verwoerd, will lead this charge to massively expand the Apartheid System and to maintain the status quo, but things will be shaken up. With Verwoerd's crusade to serve the Afrikaaners, he has created tentative friends, but also a multitude of enemies. Inevitably, he will have to tackle whether serving South Africa means serving merely the white Afrikaaners or all people within his borders. This choice will shape the future of the continent, and the destinies of millions. This book will contain material that isn't for young children (13+).
