Nuba & Latuka : the colour photographs
In 1949 the photographer and co-founder of Magnum Photos, George Rodger, learned of the Nuba tribe while traveling in the Kordofan region of the Sudan. Remarkably, he was granted permission by the Sudanese government to take pictures of these striking people, who lived as their ancestors had centuries before. After publication in National Geographic magazine, these pictures--as well as Rodger's fascinating journal entries from the shoot--have not been available to the wider public. Now, Rodger's rare softly colored Kodachrome images are gathered in a sumptuous volume, and introduced in an essay by photographer Chris Steele-Perkins. Beautifully reproduced, Rodger's photographs emphasize the muted colors of the Sudanese landscape as well as the Nuba's penchant for vivid body paint, clothing, and jewelry. They are a superb example of early color photography, and a stunning celebration of a little-known tribe that lives in one of the world's harshest environments.

South Africans with access to credit plan to save more
Rodger George, the consumer business industry leader at Deloitte South Africa, said many South Africans saw investing in property as a reliable form of long-term investing. \"Since we are in a buyer's market, South Africans who can afford to will be looking to invest in property,\" he said. Given that South Africa was in a recession, George said, it was hardly surprising South Africans planned to save more. Anton van der Merwe, MasterCard Africa's vice-president of commerce development, said it seemed that the Reserve Bank's 4.5 basis point interest rate cut since December had given South African consumers additional purchasing power.

Weekend: ON THE ROAD WITH GEORGE: George Rodger was one of our foremost war photographers, but he was also happy to turn his lens to gentler subjects. His wife, Jinx Rodger, who travelled the world with him on assignment, recalls their glory days
George Rodger, in particular, wanted to do a different kind of work. He had been the first photographer to enter the concentration camp at Bergen-Belsen and the horrors he saw there had a lasting effect on him. I corresponded with him for almost two years before we actually met. Here was one of my second world war photographer heroes, working for us - and in faraway places such as Pakistan, Egypt and Central Africa. His letters were full of amusing snippets of his travels, and soon Mr Rodger and Miss Witherspoon became George and Jinx. George's hobby was photographing wildlife. It was his relaxation, his challenge - his escape from the horrors of war. In the African bush, he could go back in time to where the world was still clean. We returned time after time - George charging into the bush, camera at the ready, and me following behind with the wide-angle and telephoto, ready to jump if he whispered, \"Elephants ahead.\"

The golden age of photojournalism is recalled in George Rodger exhibition
To celebrate the centenary of [George Rodger]'s birth, the museum, in Manchester, is to present a major exhibition of his wartime work, a few miles from his birthplace in Cheshire. \"Contact: George Rodger's War Photographs\", which opens next month, showcases 100 works by the self-taught press photographer. The images convey Rodger's compassion for the victims of war while also giving a sense of war's absurdity. One picture shows a group of people at the entrance of a public shelter watching enemy planes over London, with some pointing their walking sticks at the sky in wonder. Rodger had been travelling the world to capture scenes of war through the lens of his Leica IIIa camera since the start of the Second World War. He shot everything from war graves in the Egyptian desert and wounded soldiers in Burma, to London in the Blitz and De Gaulle's celebration parade in Paris.
