A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Journalism and Media Studies RHODES UNIVERSITY By Hayes Mawindi Mabweazara May 2006 Supervisor: Professor Larry Strelitz ii For my parents Smart and Judith Mabweazara: I will always cherish your inspiration. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENT This thesis was completed thanks to the academic and personal generosity of a number of people. I wish to particularly thank my supervisor, Professor Larry Strelitz, for his patience and dedicated effort in providing the intellectual guidance and support that saw the writing of this thesis come to an end. Further gratitude goes to the following members of the Rhodes University Journalism School, who made me realise the pleasures of intellectual inquiry (perhaps without realising it themselves): Professor Jeanne Prinsloo, for making the thesis writing process lighter through her motherly advice and encouragement, and for particularly encouraging me to apply for the Belgian Technical Cooperation (BTC) thesis scholarship whose support enabled me to spend time at Rhodes as I did my research; Professor Guy Berger, for the provision of material and stimulating discussions at the formative stages of my research; Lynette Steenveld, for the inspiration and advice at the onset of my studies – you were right, “it can never be an MA by attendance.” My gratitude also goes to my classmate, Hugh Ellis, for the company as the thesis writing struggle began.
