Penguin Random House Supports Uncensored Press
Penguin Random House South Africa wants to reiterate its complete support for a free, uncensored press in South Africa.
Any attempt to silence journalists should be exposed and prevented. For a society to flourish, it needs the open and free expression of ideas and debate within that society’s legal framework. The recent dismissals of the SABC8 is a matter of deep concern to us. We condemn it, declare our support for the journalists concerned and have donated to the support fund for the dismissed journalists.
Imran Garda’s debut novel, The Thunder That Roars, has been announced as the joint winner of the prestigious Olive Schreiner Prize for Prose. The prize is awarded annually by the English Academy of South Africa for a work of prose, poetry or drama.
