I've been fortunate to work on public relations and communications projects involving three Nobel Peace Prize winners. First, Nelson Mandela when I worked as a Media Officer on Robben Island. Then later, when I worked as a consultant, I helped the Desmond Tutu Peace Foundation in New York with fundraising. I was also privileged to have secured and managed.

Duties included: managing up to 20 reporters, hosting daily news conferences to identify stories, attending editors meetings to decide on what went into the paper, editing and rewriting copy, training junior reporters and interns.

Duties included managing a team of six reporters, hosting daily news conferences, fielding calls from the public, monitoring all other sources for breaking news, writing and editing stories, conducting interviews, voicing in-studio pieces, editing sound, in-the-field reports, compiling bulletins, presenting, hiring staff.

I hosted local and international media as well as dignitaries like Nelson Mandela, Kofi Annan, Hillary Clinton and Al Gore. I also named and wrote for the island’s magazine `Ilifa Labantu’ which means Heritage of the People.

Sourcing news stories, conducting interviews and writing for this community newspaper and its parent publication, South. This was an anti-apartheid media house, which was shut down shortly after the first democratic elections in 1994.

This was my in-service training.
