  • A Brief History of Radio Broadcasting in Africa
    A Brief History of Radio Broadcasting in Africa Radio is by far the dominant and most important mass medium in Africa. Its flexibility, low cost, and oral character meet Africa's situation very well. Yet radio is less developed in Africa than it is anywhere else. There are relatively few radio stations in each of Africa's 53 nations and fewer radio sets per head of population than anywhere else in the world. Radio remains the top medium in terms of the number of people that it reaches. Even though television has shown considerable growth (especially in the 1990s) and despite a widespread liberalization of the press over the same period, radio still outstrips both television and the press in reaching most people on the continent. The main exceptions to this ate in the far south, in South Africa, where television and the press are both very strong, and in the Arab north, where television is now the dominant medium. South of the Sahara and north of the Limpopo River, radio remains dominant at the start of the 21St century. The internet is developing fast, mainly in urban areas, but its growth is slowed considerably by the very low level of development of telephone systems. There is much variation between African countries in access to and use of radio. The weekly reach of radio ranges from about 50 percent of adults in the poorer countries to virtually everyone in the more developed ones. But even in some poor countries the reach of radio can be very high. In Tanzania, for example, nearly nine out of ten adults listen to radio in an average week.

In a statement released by the SABC and Openview on March 25th 2021, the Public Broadcaster noted that “In addition to SABC 1, 2, and, 3, Openview will carry three additional television channels from the Public Broadcaster and all its 19 radio channels.” In general, we believe this to be a step in the right direction, and one that goes some way in ensuring more people can receive the SABC’s content and programming. As much as the deal deserves celebration, it is also an indictment on South Africa’s failures to fast-track policy implementation on Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT), something which directly negatively impacts the SABC. We note that the proposed switch off in March 2022 which appears to be being attempted by executive fiat will only likely result in numbers of people without even access to Free to air SABC with devastating results for those without access to satellite. At the same time the deal also highlights the unsustainability of the current model which relies on and requires significant costs going to Sentech. The deal signals not only the abject failure of DTT but another major battle looming over Sentech.

December 2017 Copyright © 2017 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS Historical research frequently requires investigations that have ethical dimensions. Although not to the same extent as in medical experimentation, for example, the social sciences do entail addressing ethical considerations. This research is conducted at the University of Stellenbosch and, as such, must be managed according to the institution’s Framework Policy for the Assurance and Promotion of Ethically Accountable Research at Stellenbosch University. The policy stipulates that all accumulated data must be used for academic purposes exclusively. This study relies on social sources and ensures that the university’s policy on the values and principles of non-maleficence, scientific validity and integrity is followed. All participating oral sources were informed on the objectives of the study, the nature of the interviews (such as the use of a tape recorder) and the relevance of their involvement.

  • Chapter One the Popular Economies of Soweto and Black Johannesburg In
    CHAPTER ONE THE POPULAR ECONOMIES OF SOWETO AND BLACK JOHANNESBURG IN PERSPECTIVE 1.1 The research problematique “Soweto is a metaphor for black life in South Africa.” Aggrey Klaaste (2004:123) This thesis investigates a number of practices, processes, relationships, actors and institutions prevalent in the residential areas that form part of Johannesburg that is known as Soweto, all of which have in common the exchange, hoarding, spending and risking of cash money. It describes the actual flows of monies between actors and institutions while also inquiring into the social meanings of the flows of such monies between actors and social groups and institutions. The relationships of indebtedness that result from such flows, the savings and credit practices and institutions which direct such flows of monies, and the processes of consumption and games of chance which I describe here, are analysed in this thesis in the context of what I call the ‘popular economies’ of Soweto and Black Johannesburg.1 By popular economies I denote a field of patterned yet changing ‘economic’ relationships, processes and practices that stresses the historically structured yet open-ended flows of money in the context of the shifting dynamics of everyday life. The notion of popular economies is employed here in an effort to move beyond the conventional distinctions between formal/informal economies and legal/illegal economies so as to explore the moral or normative dimensions of such money flows, especially in relation to historically constructed ideas about the state, legality, power, social class, identity and social legitimacy. As such the concept popular economies allows me, as an ethnographer, to take seriously questions of material and social reproduction, identity (in the 1 In this thesis - as in any study of South Africa - an obligatory note on racial terminology is called for.

    Assessing the influence of radio advertising on consumer purchasing decisions ND Efstathiou orcid.org 0000-0002-1752-3807 Mini-dissertation accepted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Masters of Business Administration at the North-West University Supervisor: Prof CA Bisschoff Graduation: May 2019 Student number: 29788285 ABSTRACT Radio advertising is an advertising platform that has been used by brands, products and services since 1922. The influence of radio advertising on a consumer’s purchase decision is tough to determine, the research that is available on radio advertising, in general, is far less in comparison to other advertising research studies in the marketing of brands, products and services. This study aims to determine the impact of radio advertising on a consumer purchase decision. The majority of research studies rely on the effect of television and print advertising, and recently internet advertising has shown a higher engagement level for consumers to influence purchase decisions. The disruptive nature of internet advertising has had an influence on the revenue generation for traditional platforms such as radio, print and television. Radio advertising is a platform used mostly by local businesses on a local radio station in the business’s vicinity. Research in the marketing of brands, products and services have included radio advertising, including the singularity of a message of a radio advertisement message recall-analysis. Traditional media are used for branding, and to action a sales promotion to drive revenue generation and profitability. Advertising does have a material influence on consumers’ purchase decisions. The question in this study determines the influence radio would have on that decision.

  • Elvis Presley in the South African Musical Imaginary
    54 Acta Academica • 2015 47(2): 54-71 © UV/UFS • ISSN 0587-2405 <http://www.ufs.ac.za/ActaAcademica> Elvis Presley in the South African musical imaginary Harry Sewlall Prof H Sewlall, University of Venda, Private Bag X5050, Thohoyandor 0950; email: [email protected] First submission: 20 June 2014 Acceptance date: 2 June 2015 This paper derives its impetus from a question an elderly American woman once asked me: “Do people in South Africa know Elvis?” “Of course we South Africans know Elvis!” I replied. Or do we, really? Using a historiographic approach, this paper is an attempt to explore how Elvis Presley’s image was first imported into South Africa, especially during the Apartheid era when there was no television and media censorship was a fact of daily life. Additionally, this essay will reflect on the impact of the media – then and now – in creating images, fantasies and illusions in constituting the subjectivity of the Elvis of real life and the Elvis of sound, stage and celluloid in the South African musical imaginary. Harry Sewlall / Elvis Presley in the South African musical imaginary 55 1. Introduction: postmodern technologies and the marketing of Elvis’s image This paper has its genesis in my encounter with an elderly American couple on my first visit to Graceland, the home of Elvis Presley in Memphis, Tennessee in 2002 – the 25th anniversary of the death of the singer. Graceland, incidentally, was opened to the public on June 7, 1982 and on March 27, 2006 was declared a National Historic Landmark (Graceland). According to this online source, Graceland is said to be the second most visited edifice in the USA after the White House.
