When following Rajvir Jawanda, a veteran journalist who tracks the pulse of South Africa and the wider continent. Also known as RJ, he blends on‑the‑ground reporting with sharp analysis, making complex stories feel immediate. Sports journalism, the fast‑paced coverage of games, leagues and athlete stories is one of his core beats, and he treats each match like a live data set, pulling stats, quotes and fan reactions into a single narrative.
Beyond the stadium, Political analysis, deep‑dive commentary on elections, policy shifts and leadership dynamics in Africa occupies a big chunk of his work. He breaks down parliamentary votes, tracks budget allocations and explains how a single bill can affect everyday life. This analytical angle helps readers see the cause‑and‑effect chain behind headlines, turning abstract policy talk into concrete implications for households.
Rajvir’s reporting doesn’t stop at politics and sport; Entertainment reporting, coverage of film releases, music festivals and celebrity news across Africa also features prominently. He captures the buzz around a new Nollywood blockbuster, the rise of Afrobeats stars, and the cultural impact of major events like the Women’s T20 World Cup. By linking entertainment trends to social and economic shifts, he shows how culture both reflects and drives change.
Each article in the collection below reflects a facet of his expertise. You’ll see a season‑13 finale recap of a popular TV drama, a detailed breakdown of a historic FA Cup win, and a week‑by‑week look at the Betway Premiership race. There are also pieces on government funding debates, grant date clarifications from SASSA, and even health advisories for pregnant women—showcasing the breadth of topics a single journalist can cover when the focus stays on relevance and accuracy.
In practice, Rajvir’s workflow mirrors the micro‑tasks of modern newsrooms: gathering data from live streams, verifying official statements, and weaving quotes from officials like MEC Ricardo MacKenzie or SASSA spokespersons into readable stories. This blend of real‑time updates and fact‑checking is why readers trust his analysis on everything from a lottery winner’s plans in Potchefstroom to a high‑court ruling on a KSh 400 million fraud case.
For sports fans, his pieces decode match stats—who scored, possession percentages, key injuries—and explain why a 3‑0 win by Mamelodi Sundowns matters for the title chase. For political junkies, his articles lay out the implications of color‑coded waste sorting laws or the fallout from Rigathi Gachagua’s remarks abroad. And for culture buffs, his coverage of events like Disneyland’s Oogie Boogie Bash or Giorgio Armani’s estate gives a glimpse into how entertainment and business intersect.
All this variety stems from a single principle: make complex information accessible without watering it down. Whether you’re scrolling on a phone during a commute or digging deeper at a desk, Rajvir’s style aims to give you the facts you need, the context you want, and a clear path to the next story that matters to you. Below you’ll discover the full range of his recent work, each piece built on the same foundation of clarity, relevance, and a dash of local flavor.
