Signature: SB Nkoala Date: 10 FEBRUARY 2015 i Abstract This dissertation sets out to add to the existing body of research on the SABC by performing a rhetorical analysis of SABC 3’s flagship English news bulletin, broadcast between 18:30 and 19:30, weekdays, and 19:00 and 19:30 on weekends. The purpose of this analysis is to determine the manner in which the SABC attempts to position itself as a credible news source through its use of the rhetorical tools of persuasion. As texts presented to an audience with the intention of persuading them of certain ideas, it is possible to study and analyse television news reports by employing the same rhetorical analysis techniques that one would use when analysing a political speech or any other rhetorical text. This dissertation is broken up into two major sections. Part one will discuss the theories and research around the notion of television news as rhetorical texts, setting the stage for part two of the dissertation, which will actually perform a rhetorical analysis on selected news stories aired on SABC 3 over a period of 30 days. The key conclusions from this research are that the SABC frequently employs the pathos proof in its reports, primarily through the reporters using emotive language in their scripts, even though this is not always accompanied by corresponding footage. Instead of relying primarily on reporters to state and interpret the emotional aspects of the story, the broadcaster should be using its visuals to do this, drawing on the television journalism principle of ‘show, don’t tell’, where visuals are the primary means through which a story is told, not the words. What the broadcaster should instead be doing is using the logos proof more, to make sound arguments for some of the claims that are made in its reports. The second key conclusion is that the broadcaster relies on the epideictic genre of rhetoric in most of its reports, when the deliberative and judicial genres would be more fitting. The SABC has lost a significant number of viewers from the days when it was the sole television news broadcaster in South Africa, and there were no other alternatives. This dissertation shows that one of the main reasons for this is that the public broadcaster is failing to produce its news reports in a manner that correctly employs the tools of rhetoric to persuade viewers that its version of the news is credible. ii Acknowledgements I would like thank my supervisor, Distinguished Professor Philippe-Joseph Salazar, whose knowledge of rhetoric has made me develop a keen interest in the discipline, and whose generosity helped me secure funding and support through the AW Mellon Scholarship. I would also like to thank the head of the Film and Media Department at the University of Cape Town, Professor Ian Glenn, who devoted time and energy to assist me while Professor Salazar was on sabbatical. Thirdly, I would like to thank all of my friends and family for their immense support and understanding over the past two years, more especially my dear husband, Fusi, who has been a pillar of strength. Finally I would like to dedicate this dissertation to my late father and mother, Fumanekile and Nobuntu Mcimeli, whose own passion for academia helped mould me into who I am today. To God be the glory. iii Table of Contents PLAGIARISM DECLARATION..............................................................

  • POPE Benedict XVI's Resignation Has Sparked Calls For
    [POPE Benedict XVI's resignation has sparked calls for his successor to come from Africa, home to the world's fastest-growing population and the front line of key issues facing the Roman Catholic Church. Around 15 per cent of the world's 1. 2 billion Catholics live in Africa and the per centage has expanded significantly in recent years in comparison to other parts of the world. Much of the Catholic Church's recent growth has come in the developing world, with the most rapid expansions in Africa and Southeast Asia. Names such as Ghana's Peter Turkson and Nigerian John Onaiyekan have been mentioned as potential papal material, as has Francis Arinze, also from Nigeria and considered a possibility when Benedict was elected, but who is now 80. ] BURUNDI : RWANDA : Protests in Rwanda Over Genocide Acquittals February 11, 2013 /(AP)/abcnews. go. com KIGALI, Rwanda Hundreds of Rwandans on Monday marched to the offices of the United Nations tribunal set up to try key cases related to Rwanda's 1994 genocide to protest the court's decision to acquit two former cabinet ministers accused of masterminding killings. The protesters, bearing placards denouncing the Arusha, Tanzania-based International Criminal Tribunal of Rwanda (ICTR), mainly constituted of survivors of the genocide, youths and students who accused the tribunal of denying justice to genocide victims. "The international community failed in their response to protect the Tutsi from being killed and now it is failing to provide justice to survivors," one of the banners read. More than 500,000 ethnic Tutsis and moderate Hutus were killed during Rwanda's 1994 genocide.

  • Top Court Trims Executive Power Over Hawks
    Legalbrief | your legal news hub Sunday 26 September 2021 Top court trims executive power over Hawks The Constitutional Court has not only agreed that legislation governing the Hawks does not provide adequate independence for the corruption-busting unit, it has 'deleted' the defective sections, notes Legalbrief. It found parts of the legislation that governs the specialist corruption-busting body unconstitutional, because they did not sufficiently insulate it from potential executive interference. This, notes a Business Day report, is the second time the court has found the legislation governing the Hawks, which replaced the Scorpions, unconstitutional for not being independent enough. The first time, the court sent it back to Parliament to fix. This time the court did the fixing, by cutting out the offending words and sections. The report says the idea behind the surgery on the South African Police Service (SAPS) Act was to ensure it had sufficient structural and operational independence, a constitutional requirement. In a majority judgment, Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng said: 'Our anti-corruption agency is not required to be absolutely independent. It, however, has to be adequately independent. 'And that must be evidenced by both its structural and operational autonomy.' The judgment resolved two cases initially brought separately - one by businessman Hugh Glenister, the other by the Helen Suzman Foundation (HSF), notes Business Day. Because both cases challenged the Hawks legislation on the grounds of independence, the two were joined. Glenister's case - that the Hawks could never be independent while located in the SAPS, which was rife with corruption - was rejected by the court.

He has been in intensive care since he was was admitted to hospital on Saturday, for the third time this year. ] BURUNDI : Burundi : la grève des enseignants du secondare largement suivie dans la capitale French. china. org. cn/Source: Agence de presse Xinhua/ le 11-06-2013 Les enseignants des écoles secondaires publiques ont commencé à observer un arrêt de travail à durée indéterminée sur l'appel du Syndicat Conseil National du Personnel de l'Enseignement Secondaire (CONAPES), qui les a exhorté surtout à ne pas surveiller les examens. L'appel du CONAPES a été largement suivi à Bujumbura qui regroupe beaucoup d'écoles secondaires d'enseignement public. Ce mouvement intervient au moment où l'on commençait la passation des examens de fin d'année. Des directeurs ont dû trouver des astuces pour gérer ce nouveau mouvement de grève. Certains d'entre eux ont surveillé eux-mêmes les examens et se sont faits épauler par les secrétaires, les chargés de discipline, les bibliothécaires et les enseignants non syndiqués au CONAPES.
