COLOURS OF SOUTHAFRICA- LAUNCH AT SANAA AFRICA<\/p>\n

Alex Fan Moniz (with poetic contributions by celebrated South African female poet Makhosazana (Khosi) Xaba and the unique photographs of The Expedition Project\/Maddy Savitt) takes the reader into the magic of South Africa\u2019s exquisite landscapes, melting pot of peoples and cultures and unique Fauna and Flora to be found nowhere else on Earth.<\/p>\n

An amazing selection of images covering all of South Africa\u2019s provinces, capturing simple, raw, everyday life subjects, and the beautiful Nature and landscapes of this country often in extraordinary ways.<\/p>\n

The association of imagery with poetry and short-stories will grab the readers\u2019 imagination with the deep, raw, complex yet simple, sometimes dark, spiritual and intense style of Alex Fan Moniz.<\/p>\n

Some of the short-stories have been inspired by native African tales, legends and myths, assuming a new character and dimension. Some of the eleven official languages (Zulu, Setswana, Afrikaans and Nama-Khoekhoe, the rare and ancient Bushmen language) are included in this work as a celebration of the rich, varied and unique cultural heritage in this country. \u201cColours of South Africa\u201d is a genuine celebration of South Africa\u2019s Nature, identity and culture.<\/p>\n
