Maxwell Maseko

My name is Dr Maxwell M. Maseko. I hold a PhD in public administration from the University of the Western Cape and have 26 years of experience working as a journalist in various news media organisations in South Africa. I am currently a postdoctoral fellow at the newly established Tayarisha Centre at the Wits School of Government. The centre conducts academically rigorous, cutting-edge research on the challenges and opportunities presented by digitalisation, especially in the public sector. My research interests lie in the fields of media and governance, particularly in areas of democracy, digitalisation in the public sector, protests, and citizen participation. I am interested in researching new methods of governance, innovation, politics, and protest.
