- Description: Rhodeo is the Independent Student Newspaper of Rhodes University. Located in Grahamstown, Rhodeo was established in 1947, and renamed in 1994 as Activate. During apartheid Rhodeo became an active part of the struggle for freedom of expression as part of the now defunct South African Student Press Union. Currently Activate is committed to informing Rhodes University students, staff and community members about relevant issues, mainly on campus. These issues range from hard news to more creative journalism. While Activate acts as a news source, one of its main objectives it to be accessible as a training ground for student journalists. The newspaper is run entirely by the students and is published twice a term. Activate is a free newspaper which receives an annual grant from the Rhodes University Student Representative Council, however, majority of its revenue is generated through advertising.

- Description: This booklet is about the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE). Workers are directly or indirectly affected by what happens at the JSE. There are many workers at companies which are listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. The bosses of some of these companies are encouraging workers to own shares in these companies. Some workers already own shares in the companies where they work. Workers’ pension and provident funds are being invested on the stock exchange. These issues have raised questions among workers about what shares are, how they make money and where they are traded. This pamphlet addresses some of these questions. It focuses mainly on what the stock exchange is, how it works and what role it plays in the economy. Because workers are also thinking about how the present South African economy can be restructured, the pamphlet also raises a few questions for discussion on the role of the JSE in a future economy.
