  • A Case Study of the Natal Witness
    ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES IN THE SOUTH AFRICAN MEDIA: A CASE STUDY OF THE NATAL WITNESS by MARYLAWHON Submitted in partial fulfillment ofthe academic requirements for the degree of Master in Environment and Development in the Centre for Environment and Development, School ofApplied Environmental Sciences University ofKwaZulu-Natal Pietermaritzburg 2004 ABSTRACT The media has had a significant impact on spreading environmental awareness internationally. The issues covered in the media can be seen as both representative of and an influence upon the heterogeneous public. This paper describes the environmental reporting in the South African provincial newspaper, the Natal Witness, and considers the results to both represent and influence South African environmental ideology. Environmental reporting In South Africa has been criticised for its focus on 'green' environmental issues. This criticism is rooted in the traditionally elite nature of both the media and environmentalists. However, both the media and environmentalists have been noted to be undergoing transformation. This research tests the veracity of assertions that environmental reporting is elitist, and has found that the assertions accurately describe reporting in the Witness. 'Green' themes are most commonly found, and sources and actors tend to be white and men. However, a broad range of discourses were noted, showing that the paper gives voice to a range of ideologies. These results hopefully will make a positive contribution to the environmental field by initiating debate, further studies, and reflection on the part of environmentalists, journalists, and academics on the relationship between the media and the South African environment. The work described in this dissertation was carried in the Centre for Environment and Development, University ofKwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, from July 2004 to December 2004, under the supervision ofProfessor Robert Fincham.

Introduction The story Witness to Apartheid tells is stark: children in South Africa - the same age as students we teach - are today being beaten, detained, even tortured. As one recent human rights report summarizes, the South African government is waging a 'kar against children.'' The images of Witness to Apartheid are not seen on the evening news: a father shares his feelings about the cold-blooded murder of his son by a South African policeman; a young woman describes the hideous torture she experienced while in police custody; a young man mumbles that he doesn't want to go on living - his beatings by security forces have left him permanently disabled.

  • How Die Burger Newspaper Developed from Print to Digital Within a Century
    How Die Burger Newspaper developed from print to digital within a century On the 18th of December 1914 in a Victorian style house named Heemstede, sixteen South African citizens established De Nationale Pers Beperkt better known as Naspers and Media24 today. This leads to the creating of the first edition of De Burger Newspaper on the 26th of July 1915. On the 12th of May 1915 De Nationale Pers Beperkt in Cape Town was registered under the Maatschappijenwet of 1892. The “Akte van Oprichting” were compiled at 22 Wale Street and Keeromstraat 30 became Naspers’ first address. Die Burger Newspaper was since its origin on 26 July 1915 a non profitable company. In 1928 the distribution of dividends became a reality. Willie Hofmeyr managed Naspers and established Santam and Sanlam in 1918 Today Media24 News publishes more than 90 titles and about 294,6 Million newspapers annually The weekly urban Newspapers have a strong market penetration and a circulation of about 974 000 per week, while the community newspapers’ circulation amounts to about 2 million a week. Naspers currently have 22031976 unique browsers over 90 newspapers and 60 magazines. Paul Jones, circulation manager confirms that Die Burger currently supply newspaper copies to 95 libraries in the WC and EC. We also working with the SBA we annually send 60,000 newspapers to 209 schools in the Western Cape. Our “ Leer en Presteer” appendix has recently ended in the Eastern Cape and we have distributed 24,000 newspapers to schools in the Eastern Cape . Preservation Each month the original copies of Die Burger were combined into bundles and covered with hard covers by the National Library of Southern Africa in Cape Town.

  • 'N Mediageskiedkundige Kroniek Van 'N Tydskrif As “Skrif” Van Sy
    Huisgenoot as tydgenoot: ’n mediageskiedkundige kroniek van ’n tydskrif as “skrif” van sy tyd Lizette Rabe Lizette Rabe, Departement Joernalistiek, Universiteit Stellenbosch Opsomming Die Afrikaanse tydskrif Huisgenoot het in Mei 2016 sy eeufees gevier. Hierdie artikel gebruik ’n mediageskiedkundige vertrekpunt om die ontwikkeling van Huisgenoot van 1916 tot 2016 met sy idealisties-ideologiese en markgedrewe ideale as “skrif” van sy tyd te boekstaaf. Die mediageskiedenis as studieveld waarbinne die ondersoek gedoen word, word kortliks as vertrekpunt geskets, asook die geskiedkundige konteks vir die ontstaan van die blad. Hierop volg ’n bespreking van die ontwikkeling van die blad aan die hand van sy diensdoelwit en sy winsdoelwit, of sy idealisties-ideologiese en markgedrewe ideale. Dit is ook nodig om die blad se spesifieke bydrae tot die vestiging van Afrikaans te belig, omdat dit met sy ontstaansgeskiedenis saamhang. Hierdie kronologie sal probeer aandui hoe die tydskrif as “skrif” van sy tyd ontwikkel en voldoen het aan die eise van sy tyd, van die eng- Afrikanernasionalistiese kultuurblad van een eeu gelede tot die meer globale populêre kultuurblad van vandag. Meer bepaald dui die kronologie aan hoe Huisgenoot hom oor 100 jaar nie net as huisgenoot nie, maar as tydgenoot in sy veranderende mark kon handhaaf. Trefwoorde: Afrikaans; diensdoelwit; Huisgenoot; idealisme; ideologie; kultuur; markgedrewenheid; Media24; mediageskiedenis; Naspers; politiek; tydskrif; winsdoelwit Abstract Huisgenoot as magazine of its time: a media-historical chronicle of a magazine as evergreen over one hundred years The Afrikaans magazine Huisgenoot celebrated its centenary in May 2016. This article uses a media-historical point of departure to record the development of Huisgenoot from 1916 to 2016, with a focus on its idealistic-ideological ideals as a publication of its time, as well as its market-driven goals in every era of its existence.

    The killing fields of KZN Local government elections, violence and democracy in 2016 Mary de Haas* [email protected] http://dx.doi.org/10.17159/2413-3108/2016/v0n57a456 This article explores the intersections between party interests, democratic accountability and violence in KwaZulu-Natal. It begins with an overview of the legacy of violence in the province before detailing how changes in the African National Congress (ANC) since the 2007 Polokwane conference are inextricably linked to internecine violence and protest action. It focuses on the powerful eThekwini Metro region, including intra-party violence in the Glebelands hostel ward. These events provide a crucial context to the violence preceding the August 2016 local government elections. The article calls for renewed debate about how to counter the failure of local government. In KwaZulu-Natal (KZN), the province dubbed the Glebelands hostel ward. Crucially, it also the ‘killing fields’ in the early 1990s, all post- contextualises the violence that preceded the 1994 elections have been marked by intimidation August 2016 local government elections. and violence.

  • Albert Luthuli: Bound by Faith'
    H-SAfrica Soske on Couper, 'Albert Luthuli: Bound by Faith' Review published on Friday, January 4, 2013 Scott Couper. Albert Luthuli: Bound by Faith. Scottsville, South Africa: University of KwaZulu-Natal Press, 2010. Illustrations. xi + 291 pp. $45.00 (paper), ISBN 978-1-86914-192-9. Reviewed by Jon Soske (McGill University) Published on H-SAfrica (January, 2013) Commissioned by Alex Lichtenstein Since its publication in 2010, Scott Couper’s biography, Albert Luthuli: Bound by Faith, has been at the center of academic and public controversy, including a fiery exchange with Raymond Suttner in the pages of the South African Historical Journal and a critique by the current South African president, Jacob Zuma. Albert Luthuli served as the African National Congress (ANC) president from 1952 to his death in 1967, a period during which the ANC first emerged as a truly mass organization and, following the Sharpeville Massacre of 1960, remade itself into an underground organization for the purposes of armed struggle. Internationally respected during his lifetime, Luthuli embodied the democratic aspirations of many South Africans well beyond his death and remains a central figure in the national pantheon of the post-apartheid state. The debates over Luthuli’s legacy are therefore closely tied to the ANC’s efforts to ground its legitimacy as a ruling party in a particular narrative of the past and the enormous symbolic importance of the 1950s, the period when many of the canonical figures, ideas, and symbolism of today’s party first emerged. The contentious issue is Luthuli’s attitude toward the formation of the ANC’s armed wing, Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK), and the “turn to violence” of late 1961.
