This week, Journalist and book reviewer Karabo Kgoleng joins Govan Whittles to take us through a compelling lineup of local reads. From Mpho Boshego’s diplomatic memoir to Grace Khunou’s heartfelt Love in Jozi, and Matshilo Motsei’s soulful call for national healing – there’s something for every curious mind. Also on the list is Govan’s current reads which include Lines on the Line by David Africa, In Search of Nongqawuse by Treive Nicholas, and Douglas Rogers’ gripping Two Weeks in November. Whether you’re into politics, poetry, or post-apartheid identity, this review offers more than just bookish banter.
