Global Investing Made Easy Your Wealth-Creating Guide to the International Markets By Warren Ingram Investing overseas can be a very intimidating, even scary, subject. Even though many would love to invest internationally, there’s limited information on how and where investors can place their money.

Global Investing Made Easy covers all the main aspects that a non-financial person should know before embarking on a global investment journey. People of all ages and levels of wealth will benefit from the practical, easy-to-understand, jargon-free information required to invest in the international markets, proving that financial freedom is possible for everyone.
Joining The Dots: A Biography of Pravin Gordhan By Jonathan Ancer & Chris Whitfield In April 2017, Pravin Gordhan addressed a packed audience in St George’s Cathedral in Cape Town. It was a week after President Jacob Zuma had fired him as Finance Minister, a move that signalled South Africa had been well and truly captured. Gordhan urged the crowd not to give up hope and to ‘join the dots’ in understanding what was taking place. At this moment, he became a moral authority to many, someone who could fight the corruption. Journalists Jonathan Ancer and Chris Whitfield take a magnifying glass to someone at the centre of the country’s most tumultuous period and try to understand the man behind the public image. They go back to Durban in 1949 when Gordhan was born, tracing the significant events and influences that shaped his life and prompted him to become involved in politics as a pharmacy student at the University of Durban-Westville. Ancer and Whitfield have interviewed close former activists to build a picture of Gordhan’s time in the underground and the role he played in the struggle, including his detention and torture. It was during this time that he worked closely with Zuma, the man who would, on the back of a bogus intelligence report, fire him as finance minister. The book examines why Gordhan has been dragged into major controversies like the rogue unit saga, the intelligence report and other smears against him. President Cyril Ramaphosa’s right-hand man has made many enemies: public protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane, Julius Malema and Ace Magashule, to name a few. Joining the Dots is an in-depth read about a man who has been an important part of South African public life.

Millionaire in the Making Building Generational Wealth by Investing Wisely By Laurens Boel Thanks to historically debilitating apartheid laws and a lack of financial education, many South Africans are crippled by generational poverty, inheriting liabilities (like black tax) instead of assets. To change society, consumers need to be converted into investors, and spenders into savers, while South Africans must be equipped with world-class financial principles. Property expert, author and educator Laurens Boel sets out every step of the wealth-generation process, including how the rich think differently from the poor, how the economy works and how to earn passive income through side hustles. He offers his own set of insider knowledge on how to grow and protect wealth. The book focuses on property investing as a foundation for wealth, including secrets to investing in South Africa’s lucrative property market, such as finding below-market-value deals, leveraging other people’s money and using efficient tax structures. Plus, readers are given advice on wealth-generation strategies like trading and starting a business. Millionaire in the Making is a must-read for anyone looking to improve their financial situation, as well as for experienced investors looking to polish their portfolios and build wealth, not only for themselves but for generations to come.
