Media Club South Africa

A website sponsored and run by Brand South Africa[1], it claims to be a resource on all matters relating to the country. According to the website (http://www.mediaclubsouthafrica.com/about-us-83), the site is "..a free service for all media professionals - journalists, editors, writers, designers, picture editors and more - as well as for nonprofit organisations and private individuals."

Its specific focus is on South Africa and Africa and the site purports to offer in-depth encyclopaedic background articles and up-to-date news and feature articles, along with a comprehensive library of high-resolution images by South African photographers.

Unfortunately the section South African Theatre[2], while giving a brief and in some ways quite useful overview of some of the key developments in the evolution of theatre in the 20th century, it also displays a very strong tendency to want to rewrite the past, for example by totally ignoring the 30 years of theatre produced by the state-funded Performing Arts Councils from 1963-1994. Nor does the article provide any references to the sources used.
