Zimbabwean becomes Asia’s first black news anchor


While doing her first degree in the U.S, Vimbayi Kajese won an all-expense paid scholarship trip to China. It was on this trip, in 2004 that she first fell in love with the country.

She was fascinated by the culture, the food and of course the people. After completing her undergraduate degree, she chose to leave the United States and pursue a Master’s degree in International Relations and Diplomacy at China Foreign Affair’s University in Beijing. After graduating from CFAU, Kajese decided to stay in China and develop her career.

On November the 27th 2009, we sat down with Ms Kajese at CCTV.com’s headquarters to talk about her experiences.

We got a chance to find out how this beautiful young lady views the world through some of the questions you the viewers have been asking about her.

CCTV.com: When people think of Africa, they think jungle, heat and adventure.

But what’s the first thing you tell people when they ask you about your continent?

Vimbayi Kajese: You know, people normally associate Africa with wild life and the safaris. But the true essence of Africa that I’d like to stress first and foremost is the people.

Unfortunately, through the one-dimensional lens of the media, we the people have been relegated to the background of the wild life spectacle.

Link has a video as well...and interviews with other Africans doing business in China, including a business executive and a DJ. Very good interviews.


This is quite surprising to me, I've lived in China, but I didn't expect this. It seems the Chinese government is trying to reach out to Africans, to make good relations, to further trade with the continent, that is growing.

What most folks don't understand is that China has the trade deficit with Africa, not the other way around (that's continent, that is not true for each nation though).

I bet Chinese are very happy with the news.

^why would they care? this is CCTV international, which most chinese won't watch anyway.

Btw, Jack, I don't think this is the first black news presenter, CCTV-9 has had, although she might be the first African. I remember when I was back in China last summer, and watching CCTV-9 there was a black guy, but he spoke w/ a british accent.

Actually the original article said first in "Asia" I know that was false because I saw a black American in Japan on an English news station in 2002! I think they mean 'African' you are right.

This woman's father works for Mugabe. She didn't get this job just because she was so talented.

Chinese and Zimbabwe I've heard were working together, I heard they were training / equipping Zimbabwean forces.

Interesting.
