Former SAfm honcho, Steve Lang, has emigrated to Grahamstown, leaving the Jo'burg congestion and conglomerates behind.

He's going to head up Grocott's Mail, continuing the balancing act of serving the town with a great paper and providing students a real lab experience of print journalism.

While the scale of SABC meant that hiring someone took at least 6 months, through various HR levels of bureaucracy, his new base does not have the luxury of a single personnel officer.
