Wilf Nussey was a full-time journalist for forty years, all but four in Africa, most as a foreign correspondent, first for British newspapers during the Mau Mau conflict, later as reporter and for 13 years editor with the Argus Africa News Service, created by the Argus Group of newspapers to bring Africa news to South African readers. His assignments took him to many corners of Africa and frequently into conflicts, although he dismisses the appellation 'war correspondent' as flamboyant. He specialized in southern Africa while directing reporters in several bureaux in East, West and Central Africa, being particularly close to events in Mozambique and Angola. He is now retired and writing books.
