This is a fickle attempt from the ANCrap to create yet another propaganda machine.
What an absolute waist of tax payers money !
No wonder, It has 'Manye' at its helm - he is so incompetent - he could not even wipe his own nose.
Look at who is running this country and ask yourself "If the government was a car, would I purchase that car ?"
this is another way of wasting tax payers money. Some people just make decision while in bed, with their wives. bull....t. Report Abuse

More money to waste on rubbish,when half the people can't even read. The newspaper will become an ANC mouthpiece for which the taxpayer will pay...it seems like another desperate move by the government to consolidate their position in power...feed uneducated masses with lies, create a system of dependency and make people feel they owe their loyalty to the ruling party.Instead of alleviating poverty, creating unemployment, the government comes up with a propaganda machine..geez!

We do need a state owned newspaper. The call does not shut down the existing papers. Its only the existing paper has less interest to see the government work but focuses on making profit. State owned or not, if independent papers think this government is not doing what they are suppose to do they will still talk. We need the state owned paper. If media houses think state should not have this service. Why not call for SABC TV to be run independently from Gov. Report Abuse
this government is confused more than eva. they are not different from Swaziland and those in the North and their neighbour Zim. Report Abuse

What a waste, all they want to do is to brainwash those who are uneducated with their propaganda, I bet this newspaper will be made available to mostly rural areas where a lot of people are not that much educated to try & feed them lies about the government's perfomance...
It is totally unnecessary for the government newspaper, they want to counterwrite(if there is such a word) every article that is negative about them, this is just a spindoctor but in a form of a newspaper... Report Abuse

the ANC government is steadily but surely drifting into a one party state. there is a still a debate on the Information Bill which would create a media tribunal. The media tribunal which would make it illegal to report on issues such as corruption, mismanegement, nepotism, favouritism and waste of resources by government. News reporting will be censored. Now the ANC want to establish its own newspaper at a cost of R 1 million per edition. Next time they would want to establish thier own TV station. This is the problem with liberation movements who have become the government. Check at our Uncle nextdoor. Report Abuse

I do not however think it is unconstitutional for the government to establish its own newspaper as Elvis Masoga suggest. Yes it might be unethical but it is not unconstitutional. Which provision in the Constitution makes it illegal for the State to own a paper. Assist. Report Abuse
