First Zulu Language News Site

The Zulu language has burst onto the Internet with the launch of Isolezwe.co.za – the world’s first Zulu news site, or so it claims. The website carries the same content as Isolezwe, South Africa’s top Zulu newspaper.

On thing bothers me: if you want to encourage Zulu people to read this pioneering news site, and “encourage them to use the Internet as an information tool”, as the story says, going subscription is not the best way to do it…I’m all for developing revenue streams, and that’s my raison d’etre, but a bigger social imperative has to be kept in mind…
