"Colours of South Africa" is a visual, literary and spiritual journey into South Africa seen, sensed and perceived through the eyes of a stranger. Alex Fan Moniz (with poetic contributions by celebrated South African female poet Makhosazana Xaba and the unique photographs of The Expedition Project/Maddy Savitt) takes the reader into the magic of South Africa's exquisite landscapes, melting pot of peoples and cultures and unique Fauna and Flora to be found nowhere else on Earth. An amazing selection of images covering all of South Africa's provinces, capturing simple, raw, everyday life...

This edition is a re-release of Xaba's first poetry collection (first publised in 2005) due to demand from readers and academics. A powerful, ground breaking work that placed Xaba firmly as an important voice the SA literary scene.

Words
Whenever I take the pulse
of my existence,
feel the pinch
of my persistence
against the grinding grain
of my resistance
to the pounding punch
of their insistence,
words transmit to me
a drumroll of deliverance.
