Based on Hey's carefully kept fishing diaries, recording happy days on rivers, lakes and estuaries in different parts of South Africa over a period of fifty years. Hey had the unique opportunity of visiting all the worthwhile waters as author of several government Blue Books on inland fisheries. Hey grew up in the Border region and started work at the Department of Post and Telegraphs as a teenager. He worked in the Department for the next 47 years, enjoying postings all over South Africa (always close to good fishing spots!). In 1925, the Union Government initiated a survey of all inland waters and Hey was appointed to fulfil the task, despite his lack of formal scientific training. He described every river, stream and vlei in South Africa and as a result the government was able to stock rivers and dams with fish in a more efficient manner. "If you only ever collect one [fishing] book, let it be RAPTURE OF THE RIVER. There will never be another that sums up the soul of South African fly fishing as brilliantly". Paul Curtis FISHING THE MARGINS, p. 113.

Led by Prof. F.R. Tomlinson, the Commission submitted its report on 1 October 1954. It comprised 3755 pages, 598 tables and 66 large maps. It was decided that it would be too expensive and too unwieldy to reproduce for the interested reader, and so the Commission was asked to produce a summary along with the final edited version of the Report. This item is the summary of the Commission's line of thought, and includes their unabridged findings and recommendations. The Tomlinson Commission formed the basis for the eventual "Homeland" system. The Commission recommended the attracting of industrialists to those areas and the stimulation of agriculture to keep farmers and their families in the homelands. The Report is one of the most important produced in South Africa in the 20th century. The Commission was tasked to answer one question: should development be separate, or should there be integration of the races? Taking all factors into consideration, the Commission recommended the latter choice, namely, that of separate development p. 207. Thus was South Africa's path determined.

The strength of South African rugby over the decades has stemmed from the rugby played in South African schools. This book provides evidence of the breadth and depth of that strength. Schools covered stretch from Cape Town to Durban and from Tzaneen to Upington. Rugby at schools is not confined to traditional "white" schools, but has a huge following from all races. The focus is on the "big" games between traditional rivals (some of which draw crowds in excess of 10 000) In his impressive foreword, Francois Pienaar reminds South Africans of the discipline that is required to succeed at rugby, the support and involvement of the community, and the values the game teaches. The book celebrates the spirit of the Derby Day.
