Although there\u2019s not much we love more than a beach read, the holiday\u2019s also a great time to catch up on all the non-fiction titles we\u2019ve been wanting to read but haven\u2019t seemed to find the time. No excuses now!<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Here are our top nine new non-fiction books:<\/p>\n

Nine of her most compelling cases are told \u2026 from the case of musician Lucky Dube, who was shot and killed, to baby Letitia Meyer, who\u2019s mother alleged she fell from her pram. Not for sensitive readers. Tafelberg<\/a><\/p>\n

And navigates the fallout of a murder at his company\u2019s annual convention. Lew Geffen has certainly led an extraordinary life, and Soul Mandate<\/strong> is the story of this property maverick. Melinda Ferguson Books<\/a><\/p>\n

From diplomacy to Ouzo. In My Big Fat Greek Taverna<\/strong>, Coast Ayiotis, former lawyer and United Nations diplomat, tells how he threw caution to the wind, quitting the Joburg rat race, buying a run-down pub in Hout Bay and turning it into a Lemonia Greek Taverna. An hilarious manic rollercoaster ride \u2026 dedicated to all those yearning to escape from it all. Melinda Ferguson Books<\/a><\/p>\n

In Lessons from Past Heroes<\/strong>, Phumlani M Majozi traces black people\u2019s success and political activity back to the early 1900s, people who excelled in the face of an oppressive government system, people who\u2019s stories should inspire South Africans today. Tracey McDonald Publishers<\/a><\/p>\n

Self-mastery is the reset button that puts you back in control of your life and helps you make healthy choices in you personal and business life. In Servings Of Self-Mastery<\/strong>, Alistair Mokoena gives bite-sized pep talks to unlock greatness. Tracey McDonald Publishers<\/a><\/p>\n
