Fred Khumalo has proudly evolved from dinosaur to blogger. He shares some insights into the blogosphere that he discovered at the recent Highway Africa conference at Rhodes University.
Suresh Roberts' latest book falls flat on its face and becomes an angry racial, ideological, personal invective against those who might have crossed the president's path, writes Fred Khumalo.
The proposed amendments to the Film and Publications Act have created an impression, and justifiably so, that government is trying to sneak censorship in through the back door, writes Fred Khumalo.
The very fact that some have perceived the song De la Rey to be an incitement of Afrikaners to wage war against the current regime, is indicative of the paranoia that still pervade this country whenever matters of race, ethnicity and culture are raised, writes Fred Khumalo.
Fred Khumalo takes us back to the days when a journalist could expect a hiding for working for the 'wrong' Zulu newspaper at the wrong time. He tracks the development of Zulu journalism since then, marveling at the success of <i>UmAfrika</i> and <i>Ilanga</i> and newcomer <i>Isolezwe</i>.
