Epozini – Is this a first for SA?
Hi.
We've just launched our first - and maybe the first in SA - news blog in isiXhosa. It is being run by news editor Bongani Siqoko so check it out. He's already fired off a post about black rugby players ending up asTV commentators rather than stars in the Bok squad.
We're fascinated to see how this works out as there is common thinking in our media profession that there is little demand for media produced in isiXhosa. We've had a lot of debate about this, particularly considering the success of isiZulu titles in KZN, so we will be watching the interactions on this blog with interest.
If anyone knows of other isiXhosa blogs please let us know as we would like to link to them and create something of a community. My research on google hasn't revealed much.
