I studied a diploma in Media at Boston Business College, I’m a writer and enjoy working for other publications to learn and grow my passion. The writing process started when I was in primary school and started by writing my personal diaries. It became a habit and I was doing it routinely. Small things I used to write in my diary at primary school resulted in the stories I cover today in Mamelodi.
I’m very passionate about writing and well known for my unique, engenuity and effortless reporting to the community. So far, It’s been 5 good years…
I enjoy reporting local news and I want people to know what’s happening in Mamelodi.
I worked with and for local radio stations including Mams Radio and AfroLive Radio. I was awarded a best writer of February 2020 at Opera News ZA, featured as guest on radio, invited in many events of different nature, interviewed many people including business man and women, autors, politicians, artists and a celebrity. My journey so far is amazing and I can’t wait for more!
I like your blog but can’t find a way to follow it. Is it only available to your target audience in Mamelodi?

Thanks very much and I’m terribly sorry for a late reply I was still finding a way of getting to see my comments, now I know. The answer is no, is not only available for Mamelodi residents I just cover stories specifically in Mamelodi but anyone can read them. You can follow me on facebook and twitter on Fortunate Machaba or you can go on fortunatetmachaba.wordpress.com that’s the direct link to my blog. You are more than welcome to share with your friends.
