Ná die trauma van ʼn onstabiele verhouding bedank Laynie as onderwyseres en verkoop haar woonstel. Sy gebruik ʼn deel van die opbrengs om ʼn lang vakansie te neem op Klippiesbaai waar sy ʼn krimi wil skryf. Met haar aankoms kruis haar paaie met haar buurman, Stefan Koeglenberg. Die stormagtige ontmoeting tussen Laynie en Stefan is nie die ideale afskop vir goeie buurmanskap nie en in Laynie se gedagtes is hy ná hierdie voorval “die willewragtig langsaan”. ʼn Wapenstilstand en versigtige vriendskap ontwikkel tussen hulle, maar Stefan sukkel om die dood van sy vrou en hul seuntjie te verwerk en sluit sy hart vir ʼn kans op nuwe geluk. Die liefde loop egter sy eie pad en het die vermoë om selfs die diepste seer te genees.

Dokter Madeline du Bois se man verkul haar met ʼn verpleegster en sy besluit om die huwelik te beëindig. Sy doen aansoek vir ʼn pos in die Kaap by die nuwe Jonkershoek-kliniek buite Stellenbosch waar sy die eienaar, dokter Brian Thompson, ontmoet. Madeline voel dadelik sterk aangetrokke tot Brian, al is sy nou versigtig vir mans. Brian reken hy rou nog oor sy oorlede vrou, maar besef ook dat hy Madeline nie kan weerstaan nie. Nie een van die twee beoog weer ʼn verhouding nie, maar hulle kan ook nie die aantrekkingskrag tussen hulle ignoreer nie. Sal hulle die vele uitdagings kan oorwin en toelaat dat die liefde ou wonde genees?

Jare gelede het Amelia Henning haar hart gesluit vir enige vorm van die liefde. By Enigma, die wildreservaat waar sy werk, staan sy bekend as die katvrou met haar kennis en liefde vir luiperds. Amelia vind dit moeilik om vriende te maak totdat sy vir Justin Mills ontmoet. Met sy grasgroen oë en terglustige glimlag help hy haar om uit haar dop te kruip. Hoe meer tyd hulle saam deurbring, hoe sterker word haar gevoelens vir hom. Sy veg daarteen, maar tog kan sy nie ontken dat sy begin verander nie. Sy is nie meer die kwaai, stroewe mens van voorheen nie en weet Justin is deel van die verandering. Haar verlede bly egter in die pad staan van haar emosies. Gaan sy toelaat dat die verlede haar toekomstige geluk steel, of gaan sy haar hart oopmaak teenoor Justin?

Ná Elmien haar verlowing verbreek, stuur haar pa haar vir ʼn wegbreek na ʼn geheimsinnige bestemming om die hartseer van die mislukte verhouding te verwerk. Vanaf die eerste oomblik word sy betower deur die Wildekus en Sewes Streicher, ʼn man met blou oë en krullerige bruin hare wat sy onweerstaanbaar vind. Daar is 'n sterk aantrekkingskrag tussen hulle, maar daar is iets waarop sy nie haar vinger kan lê nie. Hoekom kry sy die gevoel dat sy al voorheen hier was? Hoekom voel Sewes en sy ma vir haar so bekend? En hoe pas haar pa by alles in?

The inside story of the employees who were brought in to fix Facebook but instead uncovered disturbing problems that made them question whether it was beyond saving.

Facebook had a problem. Along with its sister platforms Instagram and WhatsApp, it was a daily destination for billions of users around the world, extolling its products for connecting people. But as a succession of scandals rocked Facebook from 2016, some began to question whether the company could control, or even understood, its own platforms.

As Facebook employees searched for answers, what they uncovered was worse than they could've imagined. The problems ran far deeper than politics. Facebook was peddling and amplifying anger, looking the other way at human trafficking, enabling drug cartels and authoritarians and allowing VIP users to break the platform's supposedly inviolable rules.

It turned out to be eminently possible to isolate many of Facebook's worst problems, but whenever employees offered solutions their work was consistently delayed, watered down or stifled by a company that valued user engagement above all else. The only option left was to blow the whistle.

A critical look at how Bill Gates uses his wealth and power through the Gates Foundation to advance his own agenda and erode democratic institutions in the process.


How much money should one man be allowed to amass? Would your answer change if you knew he was a saint?

From greedy to generous, from cold- to kind-hearted, from rogue to hero, Bill Gates is an extraordinarily complex public figure. Yet over the last decade, we've reduced him to a flat caricature - a sweater-wearing, avuncular, well-meaning billionaire, who is adamantly giving away all of his money through the Gates Foundation in order to improve the lives of others.

This simplistic portrait perilously ignores the political influence that Gates has acquired through his charitable work, and the controversial ways through which he utilises it. We might like to think of the Foundation as an innocent charity giving away money, collaborating with stakeholders, and listening to the desires of the populations it hopes to help, but is that how it works in practice? The charity internally sets a policy agenda for how to fix the world - based apparently on one man's worldview - then arguably seeks to impose this vision onto the developing world by funding groups that align with it.

Combining rich storytelling and ground-breaking reporting, The Bill Gates Problem offers readers a provocative and timely counter-narrative about one of the world's most widely recognized individuals - a true global celebrity with a truly global audience. But more than that, this book speaks to a vital political question around economic inequality and the erosion of democratic institutions - why should the super-rich be able to transform their wealth into political power, and just how far can they go?
