POPSSteve Biko freedom CRY Steve Biko's legacy lives on through the struggle he helped to ignite and through the freedoms that South Africans now possess. While in Medical School, Biko became involved in NUSAS (National Union Of South African Students), a non-racial students' union In 1968, Steve Biko became the cofounder and first president of the all-Black South African Students' Organization (SASO) The primary aim of the organization was to raise black consciousness in South Africa through lectures and community activities. Biko concluded that the apartheid system had a psychological effect on the Black population, which had caused Blacks to internalize and believe Whites' racist stereotypes. According to Biko, Blacks had been convinced that they were inferior to Whites, which resulted in the hopelessness that was prevalent in the Black community.

POPSZ news - What the SABC didn't want you to see Mail & Gaurdian puts up SABC unedited special assignment clip on internet but then gets sued. http://www.zapiro.com/scripts/Zapiro/hfclient.isa?A=Zapiro_Live&L=0O1242483095&AS=FIND|MP|99.00.01&F=2 Z-News seeks new online platform The producers of Z News, a news satire co-developed by award winning South African cartoonist Zapiro, is seeking alternative distribution channels after the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) pulled the plug on the show before the pilot even aired. The SABC reportedly spent close to R1 million on development before the show got canned. The producers are currently in discussions with numerous major online publishers to offer them a daily feed of the show, with revenue being generated through a mix of syndication fees, sponsorship/ advertising and mobile downloads. "It�s a new model for South Africa, but potentially a great way to bypass TV and provide uniquely local, healthy and much needed satire."
