Biography
I am a journalist currently employed at EyeWitness News. At my current position, I cover everything sports-related including Bafana Bafana, the Proteas and the Springboks. I have previously worked at Drum Magazine and Power987. In the former job I worked as a news reporter covering everything from human interest, entertainment and politics, while at the latter I worked as a sports journalist and anchor. My beat as a sports journalist includes football, cricket, and rugby. One of the most high profile interviews I did was with Kevin Anderson when he admitted he would not be exchanging his SA citizenship to represent South Africa, as well as an exclusive with Kaizer Motaung Snr about Tokyo Sexwale's FIFA presidency ambitions and Steve Komphela's reign at Chiefs.
