dc.description.abstractThis thesis analyses the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) television production, Siyakholwa - We Believe. This series is the first and remains the only children’s multi-faith educational television programme produced for South African viewers. This thesis discusses how the constitutional ideal of religious pluralism is mediated through public service television. The relationships among the state, religion, public education and public service broadcasting in the light of post-apartheid policy are examined. By analysing national policy for religion in education and public service broadcasting along with theory about religion education, this thesis argues for the pedagogical viability of television for teaching about religion in South Africa.en_ZA
