Applying Mugabeism Concept to the Press’s Reportage of Zanu-PF Factionalism
This study is restricted to reviewing literature on ZANU-PF factionalism and the press. It suggests that a nuanced understanding of the press and ZANU-PF factionalism is better understood when reviewed from Mugabeism theoretical lenses. Its central argument is that whereas Eurocentric theoretical frameworks such as the political economy of the media, sociology of journalism and the principal-agent models have helped shed light into the nexus betw…
Independent Online and News24 Framing of Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma
The media plays a crucial role in shaping public opinion concerning political leaders by either selecting or negating what to report. Extensive research has shown that apart from informing the public about issues of interest, the media is a socio-political institution responsible for framing events and issues to influence the audience engagement with news. This article reports on a study that used a qualitative case study approach to investigate …
The imperial British newspaper, with special reference to South Africa, India and the ‘Irish model’
This article looks at the extent to which newspapers existed and developed in the British Empire. It looks at the relative size of the imperial press in relation to other European empires. It discusses the different forms the colonial press took: the settler press, the vernacular press and the missionary press. The article also looks at the developments which assisted the growth of colonial newspapers, such as the expansion of the telegraph syste…
The monkey and the organ-grinder
This article focuses on subtle and sometimes not-so-subtle discrimination authors experience because of their enforced relationship with their publisher. Giving pertinent examples, the article asserts that this is no new phenomenon, and that the dominant publisher-over-author nexus stretches back at least to the Victorian era. Six distinct problem areas are identified and discussed, the first being the invariably murky manuscript review process. …
Odd Man Out
There was a time during the apartheid era when the historian of the Irish diaspora in South Africa was inundated with requests from white South Africans wanting to prove their Irish ancestry. In the USA such third generation might have been &s;Irish&s;; in South Africa they were biltong-eating South African. For the devoted young Irish nationalist South Africa offered another attraction. It was the only place in the English-speaking world where a…
Broadcasting to the ‘last outpost of the British Empire’
Anthony Lejeune, the son of an acclaimed British film critic, was born in 1928 and after attending the University of Oxford made his career as a London-based professional journalist, writing for the weekly intellectual journal Time and Tide and later for the Daily Express among others. He also wrote detective novels and in later life penned some very readable histories of the gentlemen's clubs of London. A chance meeting in London in the mid-1960…

Equivocators or zealots? Post-revolutionary re-imaging colonial languages, names and name change in Ireland and South Africa
Successful revolutionaries often find themselves in a distinctly uneasy position vis-à-vis the cultural burden of the pre-revolution which they inherit. Establishing a stable and effective government often means alienating their own ‘wild men screaming through the key hole’. Yet, they also need to stamp their revolutionary credentials both on the new society they wish to construct and as a territorialising edict to the defeated. This also serves …

Irish settlement and identity in South Africa before 1910
Although there has been a continuous Irish presence at the Cape of Good Hope since the late eighteenth century, the chroniclers of the Irish diaspora have until the late 1980s ignored the continent of Africa. This was in part because relatively few Irish migrants ventured to Africa, but it is also the consequence of two other factors. The vast majority of Irish immigrants to Africa in the nineteenth century went to South Africa, a region which, w…
