+''[[The Sjambok]]'' was a satirical broadsheet published in South Africa as an initiative of the [[Schlesinger Organisation]]. Started in 1929 and appearing once a week, it sought to expose bribery and corruption in high places, notably in the corridors of the Johannesburg City Council. It was edited by journalist and playwright [[Stephen Black]].
 The journalist and playwright  [[H.I.E. Dhlomo]] (1946) has described the journal as "the ''John Bull'' of South Africa.
