Who is John Perlman?
John Perlman is a radio presenter for Kaya FM in South Africa, where he hosts "Today with John Perlman", a weekday programme between 6 and 7 p.m. Perlman previously co-hosted AM Live and the After 8 Debate, the flagship morning news, current affairs and talk programmes on the SAfm radio station of the South African Broadcasting Corporation.
In his role at the SABC, Perlman was one of South Africa's most popular and respected radio anchors. The SABC described Perlman as a "seasoned journalist and an outstanding broadcaster" and AM Live as "arguably the most influential programme in South Africa". However, in March 2007 Perlman resigned after blowing the whistle on political censorship within the SABC. His resignation was widely thought to indicate his dissatisfaction with internal politics at the SABC.
Perlman has a BA in History, African Politics and Southern Sotho, and a BA Honours in Development Studies. He has also worked for the Weekly Mail, Saturday Star and Sunday Independent. He has also presented on television.
