Alternative Media Perspectives from the South. January 9, 2015. South Africa, a thriving welfare state supported by a market economy. Heystek in a column for a popular financial website. Opined: “the end is near for what is described as a constitutional democracy.” Complaining about a ratings downgrade and the erosion of civil liberties under the Zuma administration, Heystek foresees the literal “death of the rainbow nation.”. Žižek on the opposite side of the economic debate, writing in the Guardian.

No, Malaika, you weren’t liberated by Mandela | Medialternatives
https://medialternatives.com/2015/07/20/no-malaika-you-werent-liberated-by-mandela
Alternative Media Perspectives from the South. July 20, 2015. No, Malaika, you weren’t liberated by Mandela. NO MALAIKA you weren’t liberated by Mandela. Mandela left your liberation up to you. Shepard Fairey’s Purple Shall Govern mural erected on Mandela Day 2015. Criticising Mandela’s status as a pop idol whilst he was alive and able to defend himself is one thing. Criticising Tata after his death, when he cannot raise a defence, is bordering on support for the apartheid regime. As a person who was pla...

Alternative Media Perspectives from the South. June 24, 2015. Zuma’s long road to Serfdom. THE ZUMA administration is the subject of a number of public embarrassments.

Alternative Media Perspectives from the South. 8220;The media has also been known to resort to censorship to protect its commercial viability. In the process, it draws boundaries around public discourse. Rapport’s firing of columnist Deon Maas, after he penned a controversial column, falls into this category.

Energy commons a way out of Eskom’s debt trap? | Medialternatives
https://medialternatives.com/2015/03/02/energy-commons-a-way-out-of-eskoms-debt-trap
Alternative Media Perspectives from the South. March 2, 2015. Energy commons a way out of Eskom’s debt trap? OPPOSITION leaders, including Musi Maimane and Mosiuoa Lekota. Have called for an end to the anti-privatisation fiasco, but the solutions on the table need not entail the wholesale privatisation of state assets. Moving South Africa forward to a better economic future could include the creation of an energy commons. An energy commons that served as a repository of energy for the good of the nation.

Away from Violence South Africa. Wednesday, December 9, 2009. The Latest from the Red-Nosed Brigade.

We were out and about all day with the sun shining down on us, though the breeze made us feel a good bit cooler (and probably filled us with a false sense of security when it came to the old suncream application! Must go moisturise my red nose. Debs. The township t...
