The Afrikaans Press: Freedom within Commitment

William A. Hachten, C. Anthony Giffard and Harva Hachten

Chapter 8 in The Press and Apartheid, 1984, pp 178-199 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract For many years Nationalist attempts to muzzle the press were aimed at the English-language opposition newspapers. And it was those papers that virtually single handedly tried to fight off further restrictions. More recently, however, the country’s Afrikaans newspapers, once completely subservient to the ruling Nationalist party, have become dynamic political institutions in their own right.
