RIP Allan Greenblo - A journalistic giant who never lost his moral compass

Loading player...
One of the doyens of South African journalism, Allan Greenblo, passed away at 3:45am this morning after falling critically ill on Sunday. Greenblo co-founded Finance Week in 1978, edited it from 1982 to 1995 and then become managing director of BDFM, then a joint venture between the Financial Times of London and the local media group now known as Arena Holdings. In 2005 Greenblo started Today's Trustee, a quarterly magazine tightly niched to serve the principal officers and trustees of South African retirement funds. Stuart Lowman chats to Alec Hogg, who started working with Allan at Finance Week in the early 1980s. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
