It is with great sadness that we bring you the news of the passing of JJ Cornish – the voice of Africanalysis - the man who’s deep knowledge of Africa brought clarity to complex issues and shed light on the stories that mattered across the continent.

JJ was an award-winning journalist, a consummate storyteller and a long-time contributor on CliffCentral, and more recently Podcast Party, in partnership with Johannesburg Business School. A huge thank you to Johannesburg Business School for partnering with JJ and us for the last few years in bringing these important discussions on events, developments and trends in the African continent to the public.

JJ’s contributions to journalism and his deep knowledge of Africa leaves behind an indelible mark on the media landscape, and in the hearts of those who knew him and heard him. Our thoughts are with his family and loved ones during this difficult time. Rest in peace, JJ Cornish
