Overview The largest collection of South African news sources, Access South Africa provides in-depth coverage of local and regional issues and events via newspapers and newswires from across the country. These daily and weekly sources in English, Afrikaans and Zulu chronicle local issues and events at their source and provide revealing local perspectives on national and international issues.

A comprehensive research toolAccess South Africa provides the full text of millions of current and archived news articles that researchers can use to pinpoint sources, compare perspectives and track subjects historically and geographically. This robust resource includes more than 170 titles from seven provinces, including titles such as Mail & Guardian, Beeld, The Citizen, City Press, The Witness, Son, Daily Sun, Hermanus Times, Kouga Express, Ons Stad, Potchefstroom Herald, Stellenbosch Gazette, Vaal Weekblad and Volksblad, as well as Cape Argus, Mercury, The Star, Sowetan, Bolander and Isolezwe ngeSonto. Access South Africa offers detailed coverage of culture, sports, business, the arts, government, politics, finance, health, technology and much more. Daily updates keep users informed about the latest developments throughout the country and outside of its borders. Retrospective articles—some dating as far back as the late 1980s—are ideal for comparing today’s issues and events with those that took place in years past.

Access South Africa includes a series of Special Reports—news articles, maps, images, videos and other useful content grouped for convenience under specific topics and themes. Easily accessible within NewsBank resources, Special Reports enable users to quickly locate information on a specific subject while helping them gain better insight into current issues and events on a global scale. Special Reports topics include People in the News, World Economics, Natural Disasters and Education Around the World.

Intuitive, customizable interface All of the news articles within Access South Africa are fully searchable online through a single intuitive interface. A map-based design makes it easy to pinpoint areas of coverage and enables researchers to quickly search a single title, a group of newspapers within a province, or all titles within the collection simultaneously. A full bibliographic citation accompanies each article so users can refine their searches by Author, Date, Section and more, and a handy sidebar feature enables researchers to filter the information they’ve located by geography, news media, date or source. Libraries can even customise their interface with quick links to popular titles so students and patrons can easily locate articles from a specific source or province.
