Description

When Drum owner Jim Bailed Launched City Press in 1982, the name harked back to the days of the Golden City Post, of Sophiatown, township jazz and legendary journalists such as Lewis Nkosi and Bloke Modisane. The upstart City Press went from strength to strength, gradually challenging the big players as a vibrant voice of black South Africa. In 1984, a buyout by media giant Naspers raised eyebrows, but in fact opened a new chapter in journalistic excellence, building bridges between Afrikaner and black nationalists in the dying days of apartheid. Former City Press editor Len Kalane looks back on the history of the paper, weaving into it the stories of a changing South Africa, the influence of Black Consciousness, the impact of the Soweto uprising of 1976 and the challenges of reporting during States of Emergency, as well as the personalities who made it all happen. The Chapter We Wrote is more than a story of journalists and editors getting the news out, often in difficult or even dangerous circumstances. It is also the story of a rich chapter in our cultural history, replete with colourful characters, none more than former editor Percy Qoboza Injamnyama (the black dog), as he was known to his colleagues. Several of Qobozas most memorable columns are included here, making The Chapter We Wrote a fitting tribute to his acerbic but incisive pen.
