At 71 years of age, Bra Hugh is far from old despite a lifestyle that was hard on the liver and even harder on journalists asking probing questions.

Elizabeth Donaldson sat in the lobby of a hotel every morning for three weeks while former Lebanese drug lord Tanse Leisher told her the extraordinary story of his life and fall from grace. She promised to write exactly what he told her, he assured her it was the truth. She agreed to wear the thoroughly see-through dress he gave her at each interview. He did not however specify the underwear and was greatly disappointed but honoured the agreement none-the-less. What resulted is one of the most fascinating stories of the life and times of Joburg gangster in the ‘70’s.

Hema Nana is a photographer with a passion for capturing the colour and vitality of her native Indian culture. A well-known wedding photographer and portraitist, she here tackles a kaleidoscopic spread produced by her culinary queen of a mother. She threw in the recipes too, so don’t miss this one!


In his own irreverent and inimitable style, publisher Eric Bornman takes us along with him as he revisits one of SA’s most popular destinations, the glorious Drakensberg. Informative and funny, this travel piece will get your packing for the ‘Berg’.
