My new angel, thank you for looking out for me; I promise to forever cherish our memories and to provide for your son, my lovely nephew Mbonge. ii ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to explore young people’s radio listening habits in a time of radio convergence in South Africa. This study explores how the radio listening practices of youth studying and living in a township, for example Khayelitsha, differ from the practices of those who attend school in an urban area, for example Rondebosch, and acknowledging the University of Cape Town as a ‘grey area’ where diverse youth come together, by comparing Humanities and Science students. Drawing on Bourdieu’s theories of capital, the study argues that various issues related to Internet access in South Africa, including communicative ecology, the historical background, and ‘cultural capital’ (Bourdieu, 1986; 1990), make the radio listening experience different for different groups, and strongly influence young people's radio listening habits. This argument is contextualized in relation to radio convergence which is seen through the use of social networking sites by radio stations, young people and people at large, and focusing especially on the growth of online-only radio with evidence of it being accessible to those that have access to the Internet. Furthermore, this study used both quantitative and qualitative methods to investigate the uses and gratifications as well as the social and individualistic act of radio listening, and the phenomenon of online-only radio. This study analyses the online radio stations Assembly Radio, CliffCentral and Ballz Visual Radio as case studies to show the dynamics of this medium, specifically highlighting programming, revenue, access to stations, and the reasoning behind their conception. In conclusion, the study argues that radio convergence should not be viewed as an erosion of the nature of traditional radio, but rather argues for convergence as an extension of the medium. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, let me take this opportunity to thank the Higher spirit(s), especially my ancestors of aMakhozi with those of aMaJwarha, for protecting me in this journey, which had its hurdles. In reality, if I had not cherished and consulted them during times of confusion, I would not have been able to compile and finish this thesis.

  • Dynamics of Competition in Two-Sided Markets with Differentiated Products: a Case Study of the Radio Industry Following the Primedia/New Africa Investment Ltd Merger
    Work in progress, not for citation purposes Dynamics of competition in two-sided markets with differentiated products: A case study of the radio industry following the Primedia/New Africa Investment Ltd merger Rantao Itumeleng1 Abstract The decision by the Competition Tribunal to unconditionally approve the Primedia/New Africa Investment Limited merger case (NAIL) is the subject of this paper. This study conducts an impact assessment of the Primedia/NAIL case. It does so using market definition as the first step in the assessment of competition in the Gauteng commercial radio industry. In markets with two different groups of customers, repositioning is fundamental in the assessment of anticompetitive effects post-merger. Utilizing tools identified in literature and international cases, the study adopts an ex post approach to assess competition in the Gauteng commercial radio industry. Findings indicate that in mergers that do not lead to join control, merging firms’ stations reposition away. Highveld and Kaya repositioned away from each other post-merger. Because of this dynamic nature of radio as well as the structure of the market in Gauteng, no effective competitors to Kaya and Highveld in the relevant market, Highveld and Kaya’s prices rose faster than other radio stations’ prices post-merger. At an industry level, competition also deteriorated post-merger as prices rose significantly mainly because of few sales house. These findings imply that the initial decision by the Competition Tribunal to approve the merger unconditionally may be incorrect. Keywords: Unilateral effects, coordinated effects, Repositioning, Partial acquisition 1. Introduction Prior to 1978, radio was the leading electronic medium in South Africa before being surpassed by television (Competition Commission, 2006:1).

  • Annual Report: April 2002 to May 2003
    ANNUAL REPORT: APRIL 2002 TO MAY 2003 INTRODUCTION 1. Both National and International circumstances have had a telling impact on the work of the Commission during the current year. The Middle-east conflict led to several complaints emanating from South African supporters of the two sides involved in the conflict. The war in Afghanistan also led to some complaints, but in this case the general impact on our work was less serious. The Broadcasting Amendment Act 2002 granted the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa the authority to make regulations which repealed the Broadcasting Code and replaced it with what has become known as the ICASA Code. This Commission is bound by this Code and, as from 7 th March 2003, all broadcasters that fall under the jurisdiction of this Commission (approximately 50 in number) have been subject to the new Code. 2. After the Constitutional Court decided in April 2002 that the Broadcasting Code was too wide in its prohibition relating to material that is harmful to relations between sections of the population, several judgments of this Commission were published in 2 the light of the new criteria. The criterion laid down by the Constitutional Court is that the old provision should be limited to material that makes propaganda for war, incites to violence, and also material that amounts to the advocacy of hatred based on race, ethnicity, gender or religion, and which constitutes incitement to cause harm. Thereafter, the first complaint that faced this Commission was a song written by a well known South African songwriter, Mbongeni Ngema.

  • South Africa's Anti-Corruption Bodies
    Protecting the public or politically compromised? South Africa’s anti-corruption bodies Judith February The National Prosecuting Authority and the Public Protector were intended to operate in the interests of the law and good governance but have they, in fact, fulfilled this role? This report examines how the two institutions have operated in the country’s politically charged environment. With South Africa’s president given the authority to appoint key personnel, and with a political drive to do so, the two bodies have at times become embroiled in political intrigues and have been beholden to political interests.
