KPH welcomes new senior reporter
The Knysna-Plett Herald is pleased to announce the arrival of Yaseen Gaffar, who has joined the editorial team in a senior journalist position.
Yaseen is originally from Middelburg, Mpumalanga, and comes with solid experience in community newspapers and online journalism, having worked at the Middelburg Observer for 12 years.
He has a keen interest in local government and municipal matters, hard news and investigative reporting, but also covers an array of subjects from sport and entertainment to human interest and business reporting.
“I’m really excited to be in Knysna, to serve this community and to provide a platform through which people from all backgrounds can express themselves,” says Yaseen.
“My focus will be on fair, factual and unbiased reporting. I have a passion for stories that have a positive impact on the community, and I believe that newspapers play an integral role in bringing about constructive change. I am certain that with this attitude, together as a KnysnaPlett Herald team, we can ensure that this newspaper will benefit the entire community.” Yaseen can be contacted at 072 110 2710, or email yaseen@groupeditors.co.za.
Ed note: Welcome Yaseen, we are delighted to have you. Having an extra reporter will help tremendously since we will be able to now camp in municipal meetings and not miss a word, your being here enables us to reach further into the community and to investigate issues we simply could not get to in the past.
