Dateline Soweto follows the working lives of a small group of black South African reporters, brave men and women caught in the crossfire between their communities, the police, and their white editors during the great anti-apartheid uprising of the late 1980s. A new preface and epilogue, reported during the historic 1994 elections, bring the story up to date.
