Zingisa Mkhuma appointed Pretoria News acting editor

Zingisa Mkhuma, The Star’s executive editor, has been appointed Pretoria News acting editor, taking over from Alide Dasnois who is moving on to become deputy editor of The Cape Times. Mkhuma is a seasoned journalist with almost 20 years of experience in newspaper and magazine editing. “Zingisa’s appointment to Pretoria News comes at the time when competition for readership is rife, and we are confident with her track record she is capable of growing both readership profile and circulation, and drive the publication heights,” says Tony Howard, chief executive of Independent Newspapers.
