THE JOURNALIST IN ME. By Simphiwe Malunga

THE JOURNALIST IN ME.


It will be hard to believe but after all you have to believe because I'm not making this up, if I were I wouldn't have told you this in the first place despite the fact that it will be remarkably unbelievable since well it will be for the first time someone tells you something like this.


Journalism is my calling, it first started back in the days in high school when I would sit right at the back being the clown of the class. Making people laugh and enjoy my company was in me, I would often wonder why I was so inquisitive and a noise maker at times wherever I was talking was just a relief. I would want to know why something happened and how did it even happen in the first place, as mentioned the only time I stopped talking was during my sleep not to mention the love I had for reading news publication. I have always believed I'm called to change the world either through my writing or talking to people, I just have the heart for people and listening to people's dilemmas just gives me a peace of mind because I always seem to have a solution for every situation simply because that's who I am a outspoken and very thoughtful person. Never will I regard journalism as a career but it is who am, I was called for being the voice for the voice less and to be a watch dog for the world at large.


I wish you could see me cover a story, you would tell from the way I conduct interviews that indeed he is called for this. I never chose journalism, it chose me.

‘‘The older the berry the sweeter the fruit’’ – by Simphiwe Mandla Malunga Little Sakhile had it coming that night and had regretted every single moment he had spent with the old woman, she was just a problem with no name.  ‘‘God help me, you know how much I truly want to stop doing this but she seems possessed and just won’t stop until she gets what she wants’’, as Sakhile kept praying. He heard his door being forcefully pushed but fortunately he had placed his father’s not-so-light toolbox right behind the door which prevented the old woman from entering his room. Sakhile aged 19, was a very bright student among grade 12 pupils at Jikanelanga High School, trusted by his parents as a witful older sibling.  As he came from school on his neatly worn black and white uniform with shiny black shoes, he followed his daily routine; went to place his school bag in his room, and immediately went to his mother’s room who was unemployed at the time.    As he app...

👍👍👍👍 😛😛😛RATED ✩✩✭✭✭  7.2/10 30,013 A REVIEW OF A MOVIE RELATED TO JOURNALISM MOVIE REVIEW: The well received movie is about a young passionate journalist aged 24, ‘‘Stephen Glass’’. He received a life time opportunity of working for a popular American magazine called The New Republic few years after completing school at Highland Park High. The young and enthusiastic ‘Stephen Glass’ was everyone’s favourite around the office as he pitched ideas endlessly, being on ‘‘Michael Kelly’s’’ [his editor] good books. A nail-biting moment starts right after ‘‘Chuck Lane’’ takes over as the new editor, when he together with another publication realise that ‘Stephen Glass’ had fabricated and invented his stories. He intended to make it as a journalist but ended up losing his job as he reported fiction as facts. The movie is very interesting and has good actors. Its content is refining to young upcoming journalists. It taught me to report and write authentic infor...
