Everlasting Pastures/Masilonyana News

Masilonyana News is a local small commercial newspaper published by a company called Everlasting Pastures which was registered as a close corporation in 2006. This project is an initiative of two Black entrepreneurs from Theunissen, in the Free State.

The project was started to address communication and information gaps which existed within the community. The primary objective of the organisation is to disseminate accurate information to the readers, address the issue of Indigenous language and diversify the media landscape. Masilonyana News is a monthly tabloid newspaper with a print run of 5000 copies per month. The publication is printed in two languages, Sesotho (50%) and English (50%). Currently, the newspaper is distributed for free in areas within Masilonyana Municipality namely: Theunissen, Brandfort, Winburg, and Verkeerdevlei, and some parts of Manguaung (Bloemfontein) and Matjhabeng (Welkom and Virgina). The newspaper is usually distributed at populated areas like government buildings, malls, local businesses, schools, and places where people can access easily it..
