New Age Index
South Africa Communists have had a long history of producing newspapers directed at a mass audience. Shortly before World War II, the Party and its allies launched a weekly, The Guardian, which continued until banned by the government in 1952. This paper was followed by another, The Clarion, which later changed its name to the People’s World. When this, too, was banned, it was replaced by Advance, until it was banned in 1954.
In October 1954 New Age, a successor paper, began publication. Editors included Govan Mbeki, Ruth First, Alex La Guma, and Brian and Sonia Bunting. The paper continued publication until 1962 when it was banned.
