This website is my service to the community and was created to present Stellenbosch authors of books, thereby giving an idea what is going on in this lovely university town in the middle of South Africa's winelands. It was also my tool to find the information for the book, which was published in March 2005. Only 300 copies were printed and soon it will be sold out. Get hold of the book, Stellenbosch Writers, as long as it is available!   or fax 021 8876 939   Introduction    Acknowledgements

Congratulations on the book. It is an excellent job. To paraphrase an old Afrikaans poem , who could ever think that Stellenbosch has so many writers. You have performed a great service! Hermann Giliomee This book will be a valuable piece of Stellenbossiana. Gerrit Kruger
