Not a goodbye just a change of position

Angela Makamure assumes new role

After serving you for many years as Media Liaison and Southern Africa Links Coordinator for Doctors Without Borders (MSF) Southern Africa, that time has come to move to the next chapter. I am not leaving MSF, but just shifting to a new position of Regional Communications Manager for MSF in Southern Africa Region. Every person always wishes to keep growing and challenging themselves at a personal and professional level, so this is an opportunity for me to grow. In my new role, I will be supporting our communication teams in Zimbabwe, Mozambique and South Africa in defining and developing communication strategies as well as ensuring continued visibility of our work here. Feel free to contact me if ever you have questions about our work in Southern Africa. My contact details remain the same as I will be based here in Johannesburg.

For media requests, please continue to contact my colleague Seipati Moloi at: Seipati.moloi@joburg.msf.org | +27 (0) 79 872 2950

My position will be advertised soon, so you may want to apply or share the ad with someone who might be interested, so keep your eyes and ears open.

It has been an absolute pleasure working with you over the past few years. I wish you well, and please let’s keep in touch.

 

Kind regards

Angela
