English-language newspapers and TV available? Cost?
Newspapers, not so much. TV, there is DSTV from South Africa. Installation is pretty expensive. Some Embassy houses have AFN dishes, and if you can find a decoder you can watch US TV. - Nov 2012

Not that we found. Our English news was thru the internet. Some people had English newspapers shipped to them. - Jan 2011
AFN is provided. DSTV is very nice and offers different packages, (I think at around $100/mo, but I could be off). There is local television as well: in French. - Oct 2010
BBC in English at certain times during the day on one radio station; satellite TV from S. Africa (there's an English-language option). - Jan 2009
