Aldrin Sampear Exits Broadcasting for Greener Pastures

Aldrin Sampear Exits Broadcasting for Greener Pastures. He is one of the biggest names in the South African broadcasting space. Aldrin Sampear has worked at various regional radio stations before making his debut on SABC TV in 2014. His hard work saw him become a Senior Political Journalist at eNCA.

In February 2024, the seasoned broadcaster joined Newzroom Afrika together with Naledi Moleo as, AM Report anchors. Aldrin has been with the new channel since, and now it’s time for new pastures. He has quit journalism to join the Department of Tourism. This was not an easy decision to make, but Aldrin is proud of his contribution at Newzroom Afrika, and the impact he made.

“I’m Aldrin Sampear and I am BRILLIANT at what I do. When I join companies, I fix what I can and always leave those organizations elevated. My departure from Newzroom Afrika is no different. While this moment is about me, I want to send a warm hug to my cheerleaders who have been saddened by my exit from broadcasting. I promise to make you proud again. I resigned because my skill has been sought for different challenges,” Aldrin said.

“I have joined the Department of Tourism under the leadership of Minister Patricia De Lille. This beautiful nation has done so much for me. I’m indebted. State policies like social grants and free primary healthcare, helped pull me out of poverty and journalism was the vehicle. Kasie FM, my first broadcasting home was itself supported by a state agency, the MDDA. My life is a testimony of God’s love for us and now I get to say THANK YOU in a BIG WAY and help pull more people up with me. I’m so damn proud of this little boy,” he added.
