Dr Iqbal Survé’s work, vision, and commitment to Sekunjalo , Independent Media , and the African News Agency represent a vision of a country where no story is left untold, says the writer.Meeting Dr Iqbal Survé is a reminder of the profound presence a single individual can bring to a room. He exudes warmth, integrity, and gravitas, an unhurried confidence that seems to welcome rather than overshadow.
Dr Survé’s commitment to making Independent Media a democratic space speaks to his broader vision of media as a catalyst for social change. Yet, despite this commitment, he faces what is arguably the most resourced and vicious campaign in the history of South African media, a campaign that employs every tactic from subtle innuendo to direct attack and outright fabrication.
Dr Survé’s awareness of these tactics reflects the challenges he faces not only from his detractors but from a tightly knit group of South Africa’s white billionaire elite, long accustomed to wielding media influence. For them, his ownership of Independent Media disrupts the familiar order, threatening a long-held monopoly on public narratives.
For those invested in the future of South African media, supporting Independent Media means standing for a platform that resists the constraints of privilege. This is a place where stories matter, a media outlet that refuses to be shaped by the interests of the few but speaks to the many. The attempt to diminish Dr Survé’s impact is ultimately an effort to curb the influence of inclusive media, to silence voices that don’t conform to the narrow perspectives favoured by entrenched power.
