65: Sam Sole-Journalist

My guest this week is veteran South African investigative journalist Sam Sole. He is the co-managing partner of the amaBhungane, a non-profit investigative journalist team that has its roots in the Mail and Guardian newspaper.

I met Sam in Durban the mid-1990s when he was a reporter for the Sunday Tribune. 

The amaBhungane team has played a major role in uncovering various aspects of state capture among other things.

We discussed how the amaBhungane team operates, how it chooses which stories to cover and then also some of the challenges facing journalism in south Africa and across the continent.

I was interested to hear how the amaBhungane are shifting focus to corporate South Africa. And also getting a sense of how the team works and the importance of having time to pursue stories to the end. A luxury missing from many newsrooms today around the world.

Read all about amaBhungane here.
