Africa South was a quarterly anti-apartheid periodical founded in 1956 by journalist Ronald Segal in Cape Town. Providing a platform for dissenting voices, it featured critical analyses of apartheid, resistance movements, and racial segregation, with contributions from prominent intellectuals and activists. The magazine played a key role in documenting the socio-political landscape of South Africa, particularly during pivotal events like the Sharpeville Massacre (1960). Increasing government repression forced its closure in 1961, and Segal went into exile. Though no longer in print, Africa South remains a valuable historical resource, preserving the intellectual and activist discourse of the anti-apartheid movement.
