Humula News was established in 2016 by a board of six directors after identifying a gap for an
alternative community newspaper around the town and area of Malamulele, which falls under the
Collins Chabane Local Municipality in Limpopo. The directors play an oversight role, and the project is
fully accountable to the community.
Humula News will be published monthly in a tabloid format in XiTsonga and TshiVenda, which are two
of the predominantly spoken languages in the area. The newspaper will cater to the needs of the
entire community with a specific focus on young people and issues that affect them and seeks to
promote the use of and respect of indigenous languages, especially amongst the youth.
