Amazwi’s Publication Partner Program
Amazwi and the Amazwi Villager’sPublication Partnership Program offers publications (and their readers) a unique journalism opportunity. The Amazwi Villager and its journalists are looking to team up with foreign publications in effort to increase the exposure of print media produced by rural southern Africans and focused on rural issues.
The Villager is written by rural African female journalists of Sotho and Shangaan descent and distributed in their home communities within the lowveld region of South Africa. Amazwi, a non-profit organization, publishes the Villager monthly.
In teaming up with Amazwi and one of our journalists, publications have the opportunity to provide their readers with reportage and personal stories from the inside. Unlike the urban-focused, parachute journalism that typically represents the issues and stories of southern Africans, Amazwi’s journalists can offer foreign publications (and their readers) a fresh perspective with cultural, regional, and historical context.
