Sweet Words From other industry professionals

Highly recommend

Riedwaan Jacobs was a student of mine during his studies in Journalism at the (then) Pentech (now CPUT). Since then, I have watched his career path carefully. He has chosen to expose himself to many systems as well as different management and operational styles – from radio journalism to print to electronic media. He has, through the years, developed and honed skills in so many different spheres of the media (and beyond) that can only be seen as assets for his future ventures.
