Umuzi Fiction: Giveaway – winner announced

  • 0

The winner of the competition is Nadia Taljaard. Congratulations, Nadia!

Umuzi was created on 1 July 2005 as the South African imprint of Random House, to celebrate 40 years of doing business in South Africa. Over the preceding decades Random House in South Africa had been engaged mainly in distributing the formidable range of books originated by its sister companies overseas, principally those in the UK. This activity had been complemented by a select list of prestigious, culturally important and commercially successful titles published by Random House in South Africa.

Umuzi, the name chosen for the imprint, combines powerful connotations - in several of South Africa's indigenous languages - of "home" and "hearth", while it happily resonates too with "muse", "music" and, of course, with the "house" element of Random House. It thus perfectly expresses the scope and ambitions of the list, which in a short time has made remarkable progress in establishing itself as the home of choice for both new and established literary voices from South Africa, in both fiction and non-fiction.

After the amalgamation in 2008 of Random House and Struik Publishers, Umuzi became one of five imprints of Random House Struik (Pty) Ltd. Umuzi has continued to publish quality narrative non-fiction and accessible literary fiction in English and Afrikaans.

Umuzi is pleased to announce a fiction giveaway on LitNet. A lucky reader can win all three of the following books:

Zebra Crossing by Meg Vandermerwe

Risk by Jason Staggie

Apocalypse Now Now by Charlie Human

E-mail your name and address to
win@litnet.co.za and you can be a winner. Competition closes on the 1st of October.
