Welcome to the first Online Edition!
Welcome to the online edition of the WGSA MAG! I’ d like to start off by thanking our media and content providers, without whom we’ d not be able to give you all the relevant news you need to know. Please take some time to have a look at their websites, blogs, newspapers and publications.
It’ s been a rather busy month here at the WGSA MAG, trying to get our magazine in shape for its online release.
We’ ve taken out the‘ On The Box’ column, replacing it with‘ Made in SA’. This is to give you, our loyal readership, a better overview of South �������� �������� ��� ���� ���������� �� ������������ ����� theatre and the internet. Another big change in the magazine is bulking up our‘ Writing Tips’ section, to give you more tips and tricks to improve your writing.
We are working tirelessly to bring you more exclusive content and hopefully a few issues from now the majority of our content will be original. If you’ re interested in writing for the magazine, please contact me – editor @ writersguildsa. org

June was a controversial month in South Africa, with the ailing former President’ s granddaughters now having their own reality show, Roger Young’ s now infamous article about the NFVF, the end of SAARF involvement with the National Association of Broadcasters and the Writers’ Guild of South Africa’ s own investigation into SABC residuals.

“ Follow the path of the unsafe, independent thinker. Expose your ideas to the dangers of controversy. Speak your mind and fear less the label of‘ crackpot’ than the stigma of conformity. And on issues that seem important to you, stand up and be counted at any cost.”
