The New South Africa
Ntone Edjabe is the founder and editor of Chimurenga, a provocative South African literary magazine. Born in Cameroon, he arrived in South Africa in the early 1990s, just as apartheid was ending. He tells Kurt about Kwaito, a style of music that became popular after desegregation, and how it’s starting to influence the nation’s literature.
At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.
Every day, our nonprofit newsroom seeks to inform and empower listeners and hold the powerful accountable. Neither would be possible without the support of listeners like you. If you believe in our work, will you give today? We need your help now more than ever!
