Johannesburg - The Mail & Guardian newspaper announced the resignation of its editor-in-chief, Ferial Haffajee on Monday.
Haffajee will become editor-in-chief of City Press in July, said Trevor Ncube, M&G CEO and proprietor.
Haffajee was the third editor the M&G has grown for the industry
in the past five years, after Mondli Makhanya, now editor-in-chief of the Sunday Times and Fikile Moya (former sports editor of the M&G), now editor of the Sowetan, said Ncube.
"This is testimony to the formidable learning curve we provide at M&G media," said Ncube.
Ncube said he would announce a successor to Haffajee in a fortnight.
"Naturally I am disappointed by Ferial's departure but she leaves with my full blessing," said Ncube.
