I trained as a journalist in South Africa where I worked for a large daily newspaper in Cape Town, before moving to Fleet Street as a foreign correspondent. I have worked as a news agency desk editor, travel writer, magazine editor, and obituarist. I spent 10 years lecturing journalism at Rhodes University before joining Wintec.
What keeps you busy outside of Media Arts?
I enjoy freelance writing for newspapers.
