South Africa Now

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

South Africa Now was an American public television newsmagazine which covered South Africa under Apartheid. It was produced by Globalvision.[1][2]

In 1991, the program won a George Polk Award for "defying censors to report on the country's turbulence and violence against its black majority."[3][4][5]
