Ferial Haffajee joins Bloomberg

The City Press' editor, Ferial Haffajee today announced that she will be stepping down from that position, a position she has held since 2009.

She will be joining Bloomberg as a writer, who last month grabbed eNCA's business anchor, Arabile Gumede, as well.

"My seven years with the company have been a joy and a life highlight," Haffajee said in a statement. Prior to holding the position of editor-in-chief at City Press, she held that same position at The Mail and Guardian.

Haffajee will stay with City Press through to the end of June, before joining Bloomberg's now expanding Johannesburg bureau in the Spring.

It seems as if history is repeating itself with Bloomberg, again. Remember in 2013 when they heavily beefed up the Bloomberg TV Africa division? Jounalists were stolen from everywhere and with much fanfare, even Eleni Giokos from eNCA decided to join the division. Fast forward to just over a year later and the entire division  was shuttered due to company-wide cuts that took place, leaving Giokos, among others, to do freelance work. And now, the business-centric news organisation is expanding again. For how long? Lets see.
