Act and advance! is Pedro’s contribution to filling the void about the events that led to the protests at UWC. He follows in detail the lead-up to the developments at the university, the actions and activities of the students and their outcomes. Pedro’s view of the 1976 uprising in general is that it "left many people with permanent scars, lost opportunities, and impacted the development of our nation. The protests and acts of resistance were little victories against an unjust socio-political system. At UWC the protest freed us from being captive to lifelong guilt for having done nothing. Many students of that era devoted their entire lives to the South African liberation struggle."

Ek en jy bestaan nie is die langverwagte vierde bundel uit die pen van die bekroonde digter Danie Marais.

Dis ’n bundel oor die menslike middelklastoestand en die unbearable whiteness of being wat waag om te praat oor die dinge waaroor mense liefs stilbly in die woonbuurte van Stellenbosch waar ’n koue burgeroorlog stil in die boomryke strate woed.
