Sowetan balances news very well

I started reading Sowetan around May this year when you introduced it in Zimbabwe. What I like most about it is the way you balance news. There is a proportionate share of politics, socio-economic issues, sports, etc.

I also like the two to four percent coverage of pressing Zimbabwean issues. The way you arrange the work reminds me of the late Stan Motjuwadi of Drum.

Drum had a wide readership, particularly in western Zimbabwe in the 70s and 80s, despite a number of local magazines. I never missed a copy. I will do the same with Sowetan, provided the price remains reasonable.
