Suppression of the Black Press

Chapter 6 in The Press and Apartheid, 1984, pp 130-154 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Black journalists and what is called the black press are at the cutting edge of the confrontation between Afrikaner nationalism and black nationalism. The government’s primary motivation for repressing political expression has been to prevent blacks from speaking (or writing) to other blacks about political alternatives or using the printed word to report in any depth their serious affairs and describe their common problems.
