From a humble upbringing on a farm in White River in Mpumalanga via an Ivy League education to influential newsrooms and boardrooms, Corporate Newsman chronicles the extraordinary journey of Dr Kaizer Nyatsumba. As South Africa’s first black editor of a mainstream newspaper, Nyatsumba rose above poverty, brushes with death, personal losses and political turmoil to leave his mark as a journalist and business executive.

In this book, Nyatsumba shares his story of rising from junior reporter first to editor, rubbing shoulders with the political elite during South Africa’s transition, and on to the boardrooms of Anglo American, Coca-Cola, Sasol and PetroSA.

An inspiring personal story that traverses politics, business and personal triumphs, Corporate Newsman reveals the complex layers of a man who dared to dream.
