Rich Mkhondo in Modise’s place
The 2010 Fifa World Cup Organising Committee South Africa (OC) has announced the appointment of seasoned journalist Rich Mkhondo to the position of the OC’s chief communications officer. Mkhondo, who hails from Katlehong, replaces Tim Modise, who resigned from his position last month. Mkhondo started his journalistic career at the Rand Daily Mail in 1984, before moving to the Reuters Agency, covering 15 Southern African countries. He later moved to Independent Newspapers, where he was the group’s Washington correspondent and also acting deputy editor of Pretoria News. In 2000, Mkhondo was deputy editor of The Citizen newspaper and in 1993 was the author of the book Reporting South Africa. Mkhondo joins the OC from Ogilvy Public Relations (OPR) Worldwide/South Africa, where he was managing director. Prior to joining Ogilvy, Mkhondo was deputy general manager for marketing services at Discovery, South Africa’s largest life and health insurance giant. Before joining Discovery, Mkhondo was executive manager for corporate communications at the South African Airways (SAA). Mkhondo has attended an executive management course at Harvard University. Some of the awards he has garnered, include the Ford Foundation Travel and Writing Grant, the Outstanding Journalist Award by the Centre For Foreign Journalists (1995) and the Alfred Friendly Press Fellowship, where he was hosted by the Philadelphia Inquirer. “It is an opportunity to put our country and continent on the map. It is an opportunity nobody would want to miss. I look forward to working with the football fraternity and with the team at the OC to communicate our readiness to host this big showpiece.”
