Annotation
This contribution to a more complete South African media historiography, discusses the oeuvre of the Afrikaans journalist Rykie van Reenen, who put a standard in South African Afrikaans journalism as far as subject matter and writing style are concerned, and who's journalism would have added in an important way to the eventual political change from an Afrikaner Nationalist-governed country to a democracy.
