Well-known producers Brian Cox and Anant Singh are
producing a film version of Shepherds & Butchers that will
be directed by Oliver Schmitz.
Leon Labuschagne’s livelihood depends on death. At
nineteen, he is a warder on Death Row: a shepherd who cares
for the condemned – and a butcher who escorts them to the
gallows. After a gruelling two-week stint in which thirty-two
men were hanged, Leon loses control, with tragic results.
And now he’s the one facing the death penalty.
Only the most precarious line of legal argument stands
between Leon and the gallows. Chasing a defence, his advocate,
Johan Weber, trawls the deepest recesses of life in the Pot –
the twilight world of Death Row.
A gripping courtroom drama steeped in the factual,
Shepherds & Butchers begins in 1987, a year in which 164 people
were executed. Two years later, the last man went to the gallows
in Pretoria, after more than four thousand hangings that
century. This novel portrays legal execution in unprecedented
detail, revealing its devastating impact on all those involved.

The Great Divide
Joseph Stiglitz
Paperback | R235 | 9780141981222
Why has inequality increased in the Western
world – and what can we do about it? In The
Great Divide, Joseph E. Stiglitz argues that
inequality is a choice – the cumulative result
of unjust policies and misguided priorities.
In these essays, articles and reflections,
Stiglitz fully exposes the inequality that is
afflicting America and other Western countries
in thrall to neoliberalism. Ultimately, Stiglitz
believes our choice is not between growth
and fairness; with the right policies, we can
choose both.
