Welcome to the discussion about whether to move The Bantu World to The World, in order to reflect the name by which this black South African publication was known since the 1950s.
Currently
The World is a redirect page to
World. I think it should be made a redirect to
World (disambiguation). At the moment there are already the following pages:
Using just "The World" as the new page title is not acceptable; a title of the form "The World (X)" is required. I would suggest "The World (The Bantu World)". --

Move
The World (newspaper) to "
The World (proposed British newspaper)" (which I consider to be an uncontroversial move), adjust the single incoming link, have the resulting redirect page deleted, and then re-use the – now free – "The World (newspaper)".
I have no preference, but numbers 1 and 2 can be effected immediately while number 3 is more work. Basically, anything of the form "The World (X)" is fine if "X" is a reasonable disambiguating term, but unfortunately currently "newspaper" is taken by something that does not exist and may never exist under this name. --

Recap: So, moving the article to "The World" (South African newspaper) would be acceptable to all?
Not a problem for me. A bit long as a title. I think that the
The World (newspaper) also should be renamed at the same time since there are two newspapers. As someone else mentioned, I like the idea of changing the redirect to the dab using the items listed above. There are also at least 2 US newspapers using this name.
