An uplifting evening

with authors of Soccer Farm and Inspiring Champions

Benoit Knox, Lourens Erasmus and Dr Henning Gericke

BK Publishing hosted a live discussion with Mr Lourens Erasmus and Dr Henning Gericke, authors of Soccer Farm and Inspiring Champions, respectively, at the SMALL Artist Studio and Project Space in Rietondale, Pretoria. The purpose of the evening was to celebrate the publishing of the books, as well as to thank everyone who supported the authors in their writing and publishing journeys.

The evening was a great success. It was opened with readings from the respective books. Publisher Benoit Knox then opened the discussion, followed by questions for each of the authors. Members of the audience were also given an opportunity to ask the honoured guests questions. The audience was left inspired and uplifted by the captivating discussion.

There were a few well-known faces in the audience, including Cameron van der Burgh, Dan Skinstad, Jonathan Mokuena and Gerhard Swarts, all of whom wrote their ‘Green and Gold’ stories for Inspiring Champions. Marks Maponyane, the all-time top goal scorer for Kaizer Chiefs, and Lourens' hero “since [he] was twelve”, was also in the audience. Lourens personally thanked him in Setswana.

Knox says of Inspiring Champions and Soccer Farm, “They are two very different books, but both are filled with stories of human endeavour in the face of adversity, stories of personal growth and ambition, of pushing boundaries and living lives worth living. Two books that every South African should read.”

Press release by Andrea Vermaak

Supernova, the mag for curious kids: volume 3.3

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Supernova vol. 3.3

We recently received the most wonderful compliment for Supernova yet. Jenny Crwys-Williams of Talk Radio 702 called our magazine “world class,” something to which we have been striving since the very first issue.

This, however, does not mean that we will sit back and relax, and let the magazine work for itself. We will always and forever work to our utmost ability to bring you a magazine that is not only world class, but in a class of its own – a universal class magazine – and when we reach that goal, we will strive to go beyond that even.

We will continue to search for interesting, unique topics that will whisk you away on the greatest adventures to explore our world and beyond. We will continue to source only the best local illustrators to bring your favourite magazine to life. We will not stop striving to be the best kids' mag in the universe, exploding like a supernova with awesomeness!

The current issue is no exception. Dive right in to discover the amazing mantis shrimp, ancient warriors, the human eye, Jupiter and so much more!
