&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Biography:&lt;/strong&gt; My journalism career began in 2017 while I was a final-year student at Rhodes University. Since then, my work has been featured in numerous publications, including Independent Media (IOL), BBC, and Al Jazeera.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;My football story:&lt;/strong&gt; It started with the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup as a seven-year-old, and I&apos;ve been hooked ever since. I often find myself drawn to sides in a rebuilding phase, rooting for the underdog.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Areas of Expertise: &lt;/strong&gt;My primary expertise lies in South African and European football, and I have recently developed a deep interest in the Japanese game. My favourite recent memory was watching Bafana Bafana qualify for the 2026 World Cup, a triumphant moment after the &quot;dark years&quot; of South African football. Similarly, Japan&apos;s stunning victories over Spain and Germany in the 2022 World Cup confirmed the success of one of football&apos;s most impressive long-term projects.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Favourite football memory&lt;/strong&gt;: A standout memory of my career so far was also covering the 2020-21 football season and seeing AmaZulu finish second in the league under Benni McCarthy after many years of struggle for not only the club but for KZN football in general.&lt;/p&gt;
