WATCH: Flipping the script with Qaanitah Hunter

Thabo Baloyi interviews Qaanitah Hunter on Pap and Politics

Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Pap & Politics is a podcast that unpacks the stories behind the stories, while also getting to know them a little better. It’s current affairs with a twist: insightful, unexpected, and just the right amount of cheek.

On this week’s episode Thabo Baloyi sits down with the powerhouse herself, Qaanitah Hunter You know her for her fearless political reporting… but now she’s flipping the script.

Qaanitah talks about swapping breaking news for heart-hitting fiction, and why she chose to leave the newsroom to build a bold, digital-first media platform that tells South African stories differently and in a way we can all actually digest.

She also gets real about balancing politics with passion, the courage it takes to start over, and what storytelling in Mzansi should look like today.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
