Beeld

Beeld ("image") is an Afrikaans daily newspaper which began publication as a progressive publication during the Verkrampte/Verligte ("Conservative/Enlightened") struggle within the Nationalist Party on 16 September 1974 in Johannesburg and Pretoria. Published by Cape Town based consortium Nasionale Pers (also publishers of Die Burger) in opposition to the four other newspapers published in Transvaal by Johannesburg based Perskor (Hoofstad and Oggendblad in Pretoria and Vaderland and Die Transvaler in Johannesburg). For a long time it was the most popular Afrikaans daily newspaper in the country.
