Africa’s No 1 Arts Bookstore and Publisher

As part of its centenary in 2006, the Sunday Times newspaper created a trail of street memorials across SA to celebrate newsmakers  and important events of the last 100 years.  Great Lives: Pivotal Moments tells the stories behind these memorials. The book presents an exciting  sweep of South African history, honours ordinary and extraordinary people and moments in South Africa’s past. Each intimate portrait reveals the impact that segregation and apartheid had on people’s daily lives. The stories demonstrate the great hardship that were imposed, nut most importantly, they also demonstrate the individual and collective spirit of courage and resistance that has characterised much of the struggle for democracy in South Africa. The narratives on these pages are enriched by the hitherto unseen archival treasures and images gathered by the team from the South African History Archive.
