Donga (magazine)

Donga was a multilingual South African literary magazine which ran from 1976 to 1978.^[1]

Welma Odendaal announced plans for the new magazine to delegates at the Afrikaanse Skrywersgilde annual conference in 1976.^[2] Established by Odendaal and Rosa Keet, Donga aimed to provide a platform for young writers outside the established literary scene, and included contributions in English, Afrikaans and Setswana.^[3] Three individual issues were banned, resulting in the outright ban of the magazine in April 1978, after just eight issues.^[2] Odendaal lost her job at the government-controlled South African Broadcasting Corporation.^[3]
