EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph taken circa 1902, a Native boy intently focuses on the pages of the Cape Argus weekly newspaper in South Africa. The image captures a moment of quiet contemplation as the young reader dons a top hat and glasses, adjusting his beaded headband and bracelets as he absorbs the news. The Cape Argus was one of the oldest and most influential newspapers in South Africa, with a rich history dating back to 1854. This weekly edition would have been an essential source of information for the Native community during a time of significant social and political change. The boy's interest in the newspaper suggests a thirst for knowledge and a desire to stay informed about the world around him. The photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of a Native child during the early 1900s in South Africa. The boy's attire, which includes a shirt, trousers, beads, and bangles, reflects the cultural traditions of the time. The inclusion of the Cape Argus newspaper in the scene underscores the importance of media and journalism in shaping public opinion and fostering a sense of community. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the power of reading and the role that newspapers played in shaping the lives of individuals and communities during a pivotal moment in South African history. The image invites us to reflect on the ways in which media continues to shape our understanding of the world and the importance of fostering access to information for all.
