Evelyn Groenink co-founded the ‘Forum for African Investigative Reporters’ network of and for investigative journalists in Africa and served as its director between 2005 and 2011. Among her own investigations, the quest to find the truth behind the assassinations of Dulcie September, Chris Hani and a number of other Southern African freedom fighters stands out. She also coordinated the Transnational Investigation “Pirates, oil smugglers and corrupt tycoons”, into crime-fuelled economic growth in Africa, and “The FairTrade chocolate rip-off”, into the unfulfilled promises of the FairTrade empire. She now produces, edits and publishes both individual and collaborative investigations by African investigative journalists for ZAM Chronicle.

Tsoku Maela
Morphing the Stories of the PastTsoku Maela (1989, Lebowakgomo, South Africa) went to a film school with no intention to become an artist. When he started to make pictures, he found that the self-portraits he shot impacted positively on his manic depressions. Finally, he started writing as well. It all helps to better understand the world, to raise issues people fear to talk about and break through stigmas.

Between bitter almonds and good hope
South Africa today. A ZAM special.More than two decades after South Africa’s transition to democracy the country is in disarray. The ideals of a revolution – non-racialism, non-sexism, non-tribalism and a constitutional democracy – are being betrayed by an elitist faction under the leadership of president Jacob Zuma.
