Black weekly in S. Africa to come out as a daily

January 27, 1981

The black weekly Sowetan, companion journal of two newspapers banned by the South African government, will publish as a daily, the Argus Publishing Company said. The company added that the Sowetan would be staffed by many of the journalists of the banned Post and Sunday Post. Last week the government told the two papers they would be banned if they reapp eared after a two-month editorial strike.
