Anelia Heese
About this listen
Anelia Heese hervertel die rou en soms skokkende stories van Suid-Afrikaanse mans wat in die 1970’s en 1980’s verplig is om weermagdiens te doen. In Diensplig praat van dié mans, baie vir die eerste keer, openhartig oor hul ervaringe.
Hulle praat hier eerlik oor onder meer die eerste kontak, die eerste keer toe iemand ’n makker verloor het, hoe sommige “terrie-ore” versamel het, oor patrollies in die townships, en die interne stryd wat dikwels agterna gevolg het.
Please note: This audiobook is in Afrikaans.

Story
Kaptein Mat Joubert moet ’n sjarmante rower vastrek wat die een bank ná die ander teister, en terselfdertyd moet hy ook die bloedspoor vat van ’n laksman. Maar op 34 is Mat oorgewig en hy rook en drink te veel. Bart de Wit, Moord en Roof se nuwe politiek korrekte bevelvoerder, pas terug uit exile, plaas druk op hom. Daar is nog hierdie één kans om homself te bewys en weer voor te begin.

Emma reis na Clarens om haar man se as te strooi. Terwyl sy by tante Vera tuisgaan, daag ’n geheimsinnige koevert op waarvan die inhoud Vera angsbevange maak. Dit blyk dat sy jaarliks anoniem só gedreig word voordat daar op iets wat vir haar kosbaar is toegeslaan word. Wie koester ’n wrok teen Vera? Waarom? Sal Emma antwoorde vind voordat die teisteraar se wraak toeneem?

Tex Texeira se wittebrood in die Caprivi word wreed onderbreek. ’n Agent van ’n geheime Mosambiekse ondersoekeenheid het die gevreesde Mecau-dwelmkartel geïnfiltreer en inligting ontdek wat só sensitief is dat hy niemand anders as Tex daarmee sal vertrou nie. Die rede: dit betrek ’n hooggeplaaste Suid-Afrikaner. Die agent moet dringend bereik word . . . solank Tex die aandag van Islamitiese ekstremiste kan vermy. En die kruishaar van ’n sluipskutter wat die Mecau-luitenante meedoënloos uitwis.

In die kleine handel dit oor die tragiese gebeure een aand in 1914 toe die Boeregeneraal Koos de la Rey op pad na ’n beplande rebellie noodlottig gewond is. Die teiken was die berugte bendelid William Foster, op vrye voet iewers in die wye Johannesburg. Dat De la Rey in die spervuur beland het, was pure toeval. Of was dit?

For his victims, for their families and for the investigators tasked with finding him, the senselessness and brutality of the Golden State Killer's acts were matched only by the powerlessness they felt at failing to uncover his identity. Then, on April 24, 2018, authorities arrested 72-year-old Joseph James DeAngelo at his home in Citrus Heights, Calif., based on DNA evidence linked to the crimes. Amazingly, it seemed, evil finally had a name. Please note: This work contains descriptions of violent crime and sexual assault and may not be suitable for all listeners.

Story
It took me a lifetime to have the courage and the clarity to write my memoir. I want to tell the story of the moments - the ups and downs, the triumphs and traumas, the debacles and the dreams - that contributed to the person I am today. This book is composed of my memories, my mishaps, my struggles, my survival, and my songs. Unfiltered. I went deep into my childhood and gave the scared little girl inside of me a big voice. I let the abandoned and ambitious adolescent have her say, and the betrayed and triumphant woman I became tell her side.

Story
Just before Christmas in 1843, a debt-ridden and dispirited Charles Dickens wrote a small book he hoped would keep his creditors at bay. His publisher turned it down, so Dickens used what little money he had to put out A Christmas Carol himself. He worried it might be the end of his career as a novelist. The book immediately caused a sensation. And it breathed new life into a holiday that had fallen into disfavor, undermined by lingering Puritanism and the cold modernity of the Industrial Revolution.
