Evan has also worked at Business Day and the Diamond Fields Advertiser, where he was a cub reporter. He has studied law and finance (and has worked as a lawyer and financial analyst in his career) and his passion is investment markets, but spare time is spent playing and watching sport, especially rugby and cricket, and reading detective fiction.

His 13-year career in the media industry has seen him perform roles ranging from producer, to webmaster, sub-editor and copy editor.

Ntsakisi Maswanganyi

Ntsakisi Maswanganyi is responsible for writing economics and business stories for BusinessLIVE. She describes writing economic stories as a "sometimes challenging" exercise, but says she's always up for the challenge and aims to give BusinessLIVE readers insightful, accurate reports. "Economic writing is very interesting and you learn something new everyday," says Ntsakisi.

She is currently a senior financial reporter and her retail beat allows her to keep a finger on the pulse of a dynamic industry, while analysing consumer spending and identifying product trends. She likes numbers, deadlines, straight lines and expensive leather goods.

Andries Mahlangu

Andries Mahlangu covers the agriculture and property sectors, which he finds to be interesting in the overall economy as each carries its own significance. Food security - a permanent feature in agriculture - and the effects of climate change on food production are two of the main areas he covers. He's also very interested in the residential property market, which he says has got its own set of dynamics. "The challenge though is to keep pace with the developments in these two sectors, which consist of a variety of subsectors respectively," Andries says. Andries's previous roles include Sub-Editor: Production at I-Net Bridge.
