I, Siphiwe Tshili, a South African journalist, acquired my Journalism qualification at Tshwane University of Technology (TUT) and have developed skills in news reporting, feature writing, research, interviewing, and multimedia storytelling. Journalism is not just a career it is a calling and a tool I will use to fulfil my purpose on this planet: to tell stories that matter, give people a voice, and contribute to changing the world. I believe in being the change I want to see in the world.
