Transforming television broadcasting in a democratic South Africa

Regards a number of issues in the analysis of the transformation of television broadcasting in a democratic South Africa. Briefly considers the ways in which TV, specifically the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) as the national TV broadcaster, has wrenched itself away from the apartheid State. Notes the documentary programs broadcast nationally in the 1990s, and critically examines "Ulibambe Lingashoni: Hold Up the Sun," a five-part series on the history of the African National Congress (ANC); and "Soweto: A History." Theoretically examines strategies of representation in documentary films especially with regard to questions of identity and subjectivity.
