Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mail and Guardian bedside book once again selects the best of the paper's features over the last year to bring you an unparalleled snapshot of South Africa (and Africa) in cross-section - from Happy Sindane to Idi Amin, Ventersdorp to Luanda (via Hollywood), in the company of the best journalists in the country. The paper tackles the burning issues of the day - the Aids debate, the oil scandal, and the question of whatever happened to Jimmy Abbott. It pays tribute to giants of the struggle such as Nelson Mandela and Walter Sisulu, and visits a big fat Afrikaner wedding.
