The Azanian's official launch at the Atrium Boutique Hotel in Polokwane marked a significant milestone in the publication's journey.

Although The Azanian was formed three years ago, this launch marked a new chapter in our commitment to telling the stories that have been overlooked and changing people's lives through impactful journalism.

As the founder, publisher, and editor-in-chief, I am humbled to share my personal journey that led to the creation of this platform. I have had the privilege of serving in various capacities as a senior journalist, including editor and news editor for various publications.

My experience has also seen me work as a political analyst for SABC, and I have analyzed politics for several radio stations, including Thobela FM, Capricorn FM, Energy FM, Polokwane Radio, Sekhukhune FM, Moletjie FM, and Moutse FM. I have also been a TV producer, host, and presenter of an international TV show called "Behind the Iron Curtains" on Galaxy Universal Network, where I tackled politics and business issues on a weekly basis.

I am proud to have won three national awards for my work as a senior journalist, a testament to my dedication and commitment to excellence in storytelling. These experiences have shaped my vision for The Azanian and our mission to amplify the voices of the black community and tell the stories that have been overlooked.

The Azanian is more than just a publication; it's a movement to amplify the voices of the black community and tell the stories that have been overlooked. We aim to highlight African politics, challenges faced by black people, and international conflicts, while promoting economic freedom and mental attitude. Our mantra is simple: "We are powerful beyond measures, not inadequate."

The launch event was a testament to the power of community and collaboration. We were honored to have prominent guests such as Lepelle Nkumpi Mayor Cllr Dr. Merriam Molala, Former Hawks provincial head in Limpopo Lt-Gen Dibero Molatjana, Provincial Police Spokesperson Brigadier Rhulani Mashaba, Consultant Thabo Mphahlele, and various stakeholders from different sectors. The elegance and sophistication of the event reflected the colors of The Azanian – red, black, and white.

During the keynote address, I emphasized the importance of telling untold stories and changing people's lives through impactful journalism. I noted that it's impossible to only read negative articles about South Africa and that we need to strike a balance and write about good stories and achievements. The mayor echoed this sentiment, stating that The Azanian is a brilliant idea, destined for great things, and that it's unique and makes a lot of sense to tell untold stories and change people's lives.

The lieutenant general also praised the initiative, saying that The Azanian is a vehicle that will change people's lives and make a significant impact on the media fraternity. I am committed to contributing positively to society and creating jobs.

The Azanian will continue to write about African politics, international conflicts, and the challenges faced by black people.
