ANC-linked group to start paper

2010-07-06 10:11

Johannesburg - The Gupta Group, which has close links to the ANC, will launch a new national daily newspaper in September, Business Day reported on Tuesday.

The daily, called The New Age, will be edited by former Business Day journalist Vuyo Mvoko.

Former minister in the presidency, Essop Pahad, was one of the people behind the new newspaper.

Pahad also publishes The Thinker magazine, also a Gupta Group product.

He said the newspaper "is not, and will not be, affiliated (to) the ANC".

Latest comment in South Africa

Andrew Peace says... Ladies and Gentlemen, again I say, our opposition must now call for a snap debate in parliament. This is the highest form of corruption. Our constitution is policed by Acts(law). Every law is being transgressed like Road laws. It is now high Time that our Judicial system steps in and brings the whole Government up for charges of Treason. Even our Minister of Finance, somebody must be authorizing payment. And the also over the weekend the Chief of the Army pleads "Poverty". What on earth is the so called "Judicial Independence" doing about it? Now i think things have gone to far. JZ resign plus your whole useless inefectual cabinet. Again i say, Opposition Party's, before you are also dragged in and co-conspiritors it is your job to act on behalf of the electorate to propose to act on behalf of. GET TO WORK, and protect this beautiful country, we call SOUTH AFRICA. Read the article...
