The Sjambok ("The whip") was a short-lived critical newspaper published in South Africa.
The Sjambok (19**-19**)
This critical newspaper was an initiative of the Schlesinger Organisation and was edited for them by Stephen Black. It was soon forced to close however, because of the many libel suits brought against it.
The New Sjambok (1931)
In July 1931 Black started a The New Sjambok, but he fell ill and died shortly afterwards in Johannesburg on the 8th August 1931 of lung cancer, and that was the end of his new endeavour.
