African Sun Media is proud to announce the publication of 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘹𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘈𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘓𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘶𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘋𝘺𝘯𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘤𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘊𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦 𝘝𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘮𝘦 1 to our SUN PReSS imprint. This title is the first in a groundbreaking series exploring African languages in the 21st century.

This volume brings together leading and emerging scholars to reflect on how African languages adapt and transform in response to sociocultural and technological change. With a special focus on digital humanities, it considers how computational tools, artificial intelligence, and the context of Industry 4.0 and 5.0 are reshaping language research, preservation, and use.

Contributors examine language dynamics from historical, social, and technological perspectives. Case studies range from revitalising endangered languages such as Tonga in Zimbabwe, to understanding code-switching in Cape Town, to tackling challenges in terminology development, dictionary-making, and natural language processing for isiXhosa, isiZulu, Sesotho and many more.

This book highlights the central role of African languages in knowledge creation and society. It also underscores the importance of perspectives from within Africa in shaping global academic discourse.

𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘹𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘈𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘓𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘶𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘋𝘺𝘯𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘤𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘊𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦 𝘝𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘮𝘦 1 is an essential resource for linguists, language planners, digital humanities scholars, and anyone passionate about the future of African languages in a rapidly changing world.

𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝘾𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙡𝙚𝙩𝙚 𝙒𝙤𝙧𝙠𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙅𝙖𝙣 𝘾𝙤𝙚𝙩𝙯𝙚𝙚 (1912–1999): 𝘼 𝘾𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡 𝙀𝙙𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣

The first-ever scholarly and performable collection of compositions by one of
South Africa’s most distinctive modernist voices.

Jan Christoffel Coetzee, born in Steynsburg in 1912, remains one of the most enigmatic yet remarkable figures in South African art music. Despite formal training under the likes of Horace Barton, Lorenzo Danza, and Nadia Boulanger, Coetzee’s musical output has long remained in obscurity. He acknowledged only a small body of work, all composed after the age of fifty.

The pieces are austere, atonal, and highly refined works that invite comparison to Webern, Messiaen, and Boulez. Yet they stand apart, marked by a uniquely personal voice.

Until now, none of his compositions had ever been published.

This critical edition brings together all known surviving works, including:

• Klaviersonate (1969–1970)
• Two Songs (London, 1969): The Bereaved Swan and Die reën
• Two Pieces for Cello and Pianoforte (1971): Elegie and Allegretto
• Geen troos (1983) and Twee herfsliedere (1985)

Each score has been carefully engraved from rare manuscript photocopies, most of which were salvaged from personal collections. In the absence of any original autographs, this edition offers a rigorously annotated, performable and authoritative version of the composer’s legacy.

An extensive critical report documents the editorial decisions taken to resolve the numerous ambiguities found in Coetzee’s original manuscripts, providing performers and researchers with valuable insight into his compositional process.

Whether you are a performer, musicologist, or enthusiast of modernist and South African music, this collection opens an essential chapter in the understanding and appreciation of 20th-century composition on the African continent.

By Finex Ndhlovu and Jesta Masuku

Mandela University Press proudly announces the release of Pan-African Integration from Below: Language, Publics, Culture, a thought-provoking exploration of Pan-Africanism grounded in the lived realities of everyday African communities.

Challenging traditional, top-down approaches, this book introduces a vernacular discourse approach, centring language, publics, and culture as critical tools for reimagining Pan-African unity. Drawing on rich ethnographic data from African diasporas in Australia and cross-border traders at three African ports of entry, the authors highlight the often-overlooked grassroots mediators who shape African identity and integration on their own terms.

This work offers fresh insights for scholars, policymakers, and readers interested in decolonial thought, language and identity, and African futures rooted in community-based practice.

We’re proud to announce the Volume 5 in the groundbreaking SF&LLA series, 𝘋𝘰𝘤𝘶𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘍𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘤 𝘓𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘶𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘹𝘵, a timely and important contribution to the growing body of work at the intersection of language, law and justice in Africa.

This volume offers rich insights into how linguistic and cultural diversity shapes legal communication, particularly in African courtrooms where colonial languages still dominate legal processes. Bringing together contributions from leading scholars, the book explores key issues such as linguistic inequality, courtroom interpretation, authorship attribution, and police interview protocols.

It also breaks new ground by examining the implications of artificial intelligence in forensic linguistics, raising critical questions around authorship authentication, automated text generation, and digital deception.

With 14 chapters grouped into thematic sections, the volume strikes a crucial balance between theoretical exploration and real-world application. It is an essential resource for legal practitioners, linguists, educators, interpreters, and scholars, and a call to action for justice systems to reflect Africa’s multilingual and multicultural realities.
