  • Running Africa | Keith Boyd

    Running Africa | Keith Boyd
    2026/02/11
    Cape to Cairo - a journey of heart and hope.
    11,000 km, 301 days, 1 Guinness World Record.

    Why would a 57-year-old with a genetic heart condition attempt the fastest journey on foot from Cape Town to Cairo?

    In Running Africa, Keith Boyd tells the story of his epic run, complete with injuries, illness, being taken hostage, getting caught up in a rebel firefight, and having members of his team imprisoned.

    From a soft start in South Africa to increasing danger and hardship as he headed further north, Keith reminds himself – and us – of why he undertook the journey.

    After a business career spanning 40 years, Keith repurposed himself as a socio-economic activist, determined to make a dent in the greatest issue of our time: poverty.

    He founded RainbowLeaders.org.za to motivate young Africans to vote, elect great leaders and hold them accountable – and soon realised that the organisation needed a platform to spread awareness of its message. His audacious attempt to break the 25-year-old Guinness World Record became that platform.

    All proceeds from the sale of this e-book will go towards funding our youth democracy work at RainbowLeaders.org.za. Email Solid Gold · For links to buy this book

  • We Inherit the Fire | Kagiso Lesego Molope [Read by Jane Sopeng]

    We Inherit the Fire | Kagiso Lesego Molope [Read by Jane Sopeng]
    2026/02/08
    Any story worth telling must begin with the women.
    There is that photograph, of course. My mother: standing in front of a soldier, closer than anyone else would dare . . .
    A gorgeously rendered, unflinching portrait of the fractured relationship between a mother and her daughter—set against the tumultuous end of apartheid in South Africa.
    In late-1980s South Africa, teenager Kelelo is forced to leave her mountain school for a newly desegregated school in town, where her identity as the daughter of celebrated freedom fighter Kewame “Dolly” Malaka makes her an instant curiosity. While her classmates see her as a symbol of progress, at home she struggles with a mother who is emotionally unreachable, still haunted by the violence and deprivation she endured as a political prisoner under apartheid.
    Kewame, now living in material comfort, hides a growing inner collapse as memories of prison life and the women who sustained her resurface, stirred by her grandmother’s illness and the pressure of maintaining a façade of perfection. As mother and daughter navigate a shifting political landscape, We Inherit the Fire interlaces their voices to reveal the unspoken wounds, buried histories, and complex inheritance of resilience, pain, and responsibility that bind and divide generations of Black South African women.
