Biography: I’m a writer and sub-editor with seven years of experience. I joined GOAL in 2023 and have been on an exciting journey ever since. I hold a BA Journalism degree from the University of Johannesburg. My love for writing and Sport, especially football, have intertwined perfectly. I have been fortunate to cover some of the biggest matches in the South African Premier Soccer League, the CAF Champions League as well as the various levels of international football, from junior to senior.
My Football Story: At one point, football was the one thing I looked forward to everyday. My obsession with the beautiful game started in the dusty streets of my township, where I played. In my head, I was on N5, gracing the Emirates, for my beloved Arsenal. Although that never happened, I’m grateful that there’s no stadium I haven’t been to in South Africa and have witnessed countless historic moments, like Yusuf Maart’s iconic long range Soweto derby stunner.
