In this episode, I chat with Terry about her book White Trash My Year As A High-Class Call Girl.

This is an incredibly raw and real account of a year in the life of the author. In my opinion, a book that took incredible bravery to write and is a must-read.

About this book:

In this episode, I chat with Phakamisa about his latest book entitled Native Merchants The Building Of The Black Business Class In South Africa.  This is a fantastic book and has a look at history not many of us are aware of.

Dispossession of fertile, mineral-rich land is correctly repeated as the root cause of the economic precarity of Black people in South Africa. Colonial wars are rightly foregrounded but in a way that frames black people as having existed outside of the organised enterprise. This book builds and adds dimension to the picture of black people’s economic participation, taking the narrative from pre-colonial mining and spanning the colonial and apartheid periods, detailing tactics of economic exclusion.

In this episode, I chat with Allen about his younger days and his roller coaster journey through life as he starts the restaurant chain we all know and love.

So join  Allen Ambor on a rock ’n’ roll ride through the restaurant business and pioneering days of franchising in South Africa. Allen's exuberance for life and exacting management style shines through on every page of this memoir of a man who went from being a hippy waiter to opening the first Spur in 1967 and growing it into an empire that included more than 500 franchises under the Spur, Panarottis, John Dory’s and RocoMamas brands.

And he now teaches Yoga how cool is that?
