About Zwelakhe Sisulu

Zwelakhe Sisulu (17 December 1950 – 4 October 2012)

(pronounced Zway-LAH-kee) was a South African black journalist, editor, and newspaper founder. He was president of the Writers' Association of South Africa, which later became the Black Media Workers Association of South Africa (or Mwasa), and he led a year-long strike in 1980 for fair wages for black journalists. He was a victim of the Apartheid-era government in South Africa and was imprisoned at least three times for his journalism. After Apartheid ended, he became the chief executive officer of the South African Broadcast Corporation. Sisulu served as group CEO of the SABC from 1994 to 1997.
