BK Publishing Soccer Farm
Speaking Tswana, dancing Pantsula and playing soccer are pretty normal things - except when you are the White son of a respected farmer in 1980's South Africa. Caught in the rip currents of apartheid, Erasmus struggles to find his place in a school that expects him to play rugby, parents who condemn inter-racial relationships, and a justice system which crushes equal rights at every turn. When his lifestyle threatens to tear his family apart and land him in prison, Erasmus is forced to make impossible choices to keep everyone else happy. Through it all he finds freedom on the soccer field, where he and his friends start their own team, and try to make a difference in a world that refuses to listen.

BK Publishing Yellow Nation: Life, love, diski
Yellow Nation by Lourens Erasmus and Annique Ngobela, is available now. Inspired by the success of the first book, Lourens has covered the years after the events in Soccer Farm. Yellow Nation is fast-paced and has all the ingredients that made Soccer Farm such a success – love, pain, humanity, humour, warmth and reconciliation. It also illustrates the uniting powers of football, and in this case the uniting role played by Sundowns Football Club in particular.
