Description
-
A leading anti-apartheid weekly newspaper published in South Africa. Launched in early 1986 by the Catholic Bishops' Conference, it was a cornerstone of the "alternative press." It was notable for being black-owned, black-edited, and staffed almost entirely by black South Africans. The paper focused on workers' rights, grassroots resistance, and liberation theology. It faced severe state repression, including the two-year detention of editor Zwelakhe Sisulu and a temporary ban in 1988.
