Cape Argus Newspaper Description:

The Cape Argus is perfectly positioned to play an important role as a bridge that attempts to connect the diverse communities of Cape Town as they set about finding common ground from Khayelitsha to Constantia. It is a meeting place where readers, regardless of their race, sex colour or creed can feel comfortable and deal with their fellow-citizens on an equal footing. It is a rare privilege to edit a newspaper that essentially writes itself once we have answered the key question: what will the community be talking about today?
