This book critically analyses the important role of radio in public
life in post-apartheid South Africa. As the most widespread and
popular form of communication in the country, radio occupies an
essential space in the deliberation and the construction of public
opinion in South Africa. From just a few state-controlled stations
during the apartheid era, there are now more than 100 radio
stations, reaching vast swathes of the population and providing an
important space for citizens to air their views and take part in
significant socio-economic and political issues of the country. The
various contributors to this book demonstrate that whilst print and
television media often serve elite interests and audiences, the low
cost and flexibility of radio has helped it to create a 'common'
space for national dialogue and deliberation. The book also
investigates the ways in which digital technologies have enhanced
the consumption of radio and produced a sense of imagined community
for citizens, including those in marginalised communities and rural
areas. This book will be of interest to researchers with an
interest in media, politics and culture in South Africa
specifically, as well as those with an interest in broadcast media
more generally.

itself, putting itself on a path for continued stability and
economic growth. These reformations have been more pronounced in
the educational system, as educational institutions in Africa try
to find new ways of making themselves more relevant and
repositioning themselves to respond to numerous problems
confronting the continent. The book tackles wide-ranging and
topical issues that include the decolonisation of education, the
implications of COVID-19 on institutions of higher learning,
pandemic discourse and education in Africa, gender issues in
education, indigenous knowledge systems, transnational education
(TNE) partnerships and distance learning issues. This book is a
timely contribution that includes views from seasoned scholars from
different parts of the continent, such as Ghana, Uganda, Nigeria,
Zimbabwe, South Africa and Kenya, as well as the African Diaspora
such as Germany and the United Kingdom. The book will be a useful
resource for educators, policymakers and students in various
sub-fields related to education.
