Media Monitoring Africa (MMA) has monitored every democratic election in South Africa. This year we are doing the same, providing daily and weekly reports on media coverage of election news[1], as well as MMA’s Election Media Ratings[2].
For the weekend 21 and 22 March, the NPA’s possible dropping of charges against Jacob Zuma topped the coverage in the various newspapers. Much of the coverage was analytical and provided a range of comment on what dropping charges against Zuma would/could mean for the country. Dropping charges was widely represented as a bad option, particularly if South Africans are not informed of the reasons.
