📚What is currently on Minister Creecy's reading list?

From a recent publication in the @dailymaverick:

The minister received four books, valued at a total of R2,150, from the Antarctic Legacy South Africa on 8 June 2023 for World Oceans Day.

“I really like these books because I have visited Antarctica and I have a deep interest in the South Africa National Antarctic Program, particularly the research program on the sub-Antarctic Prince Edward Islands that presents one of the most significant longitudinal data sets stretching back over three-quarters of a century.”
