Mail & Guardian South Africa: Training Program

The Mail & Guardian newspaper and M&G Online are always on the lookout for talented, dynamic individuals to join our team.
The newspaper and website are famous for in-depth, analytical, high quality, no-nonsense news features, combined with up-to-the-minute breaking news from South Africa, Africa and the rest of the world. It’s an alternative, intelligent look at the world.
