The free monthly newspaper, is distributed via Africa!Ignite’s rural distribution network to 20 education centres as well as to the surrounding high schools within the rural communities across KwaZulu-Natal.
iThubalethu readers include isiZulu speaking principals, teachers, learners, parents and youth and adults, in the LSM group one to five.
iThubalethu provides a voice to rural communities as well as involves these communities in public discourse. This newspaper uses a unique rural footprint and two-way distribution network as its backbone. Its two-way flow of news, information and opinions, coupled with its content that is aimed at capacity-building, economic empowerment makes this rural community newspaper unique. The tabloid thrives on news that is concerned with rural communities generated by rural correspondents across KZN. What differentiates
iThubalethu from other community newspapers, is that it is the
only rural community newspaper to be distributed beyond the cities and towns into the most remote parts of KwaZulu-Natal where over 50% of our province’s population reside. This newspaper is potentially breaking new ground to connect urban business with rural markets.
