Verashni Pillay's Profile

Verashni Pillay is the deputy editor of the Mail & Guardian Online.

When she's not answering emails and attending meetings she tries to sneak in as much writing as possible.

Her interests are race, politics, local issues and a bit of theology and social media here and there.

She grew up in an unnoticed corner of Pretoria, learned her trade at Rhodes University in Grahamstown, spent a spell in Cape Town as an online journalist, and now loves living in Jozi.
