Karyn Maughan Biography

Karyn Maughan is a South African author and legal journalist who many now look up to for insider scoops on high criminal cases. She was reportedly born in Johannesburg, where her interest in the written word flowered pretty early. So she made a choice for journalism.

Her journalism odyssey started at The Star newspaper. That experience would be instrumental to her getting a job as a legal reporter with the eNCA, one of the major media houses in South Africa. At the eNCA, she distinguished herself and was never afraid to ask tough questions to public figures.

In her journalistic work, she also had stints as a writer for Financial Mail, Newzroom Afrika, Business Day, and Daily Maverick.

In November 2020. She provoked great excitement at News24 when she joined the staff of the company. The excitement of her coming is encapsulated in a statement from the editor-in-chief, Adriaan Basson:

“Karyn is undoubtedly South Africa’s best legal journalist. Her contact book is the envy of her peers; her ability to get the inside scoop on complicated legal matters and report it with crystal clarity is legendary.”

Her joining the media house has in no way slowed her scoops, nor has it quenched her fire. Instead, she remained the fire-spitting journalist throwing analogies here and there.

Beyond her journalism, Karyn Maughan is also a journalist and the author of  Lolly Jackson: When Fantasy Becomes Reality and The Modimolle Monster – Love is War.

Contact Details

Despite being a journalist, Karyn Maughan hasn’t made things easy for those who want to reach her. She has an Instagram account, all right. But the account is closed to the public. One needs to follow her on that platform to see what she posts and send her messages.

It’s a different ball game on Twitter, where she is actually more active. So, whether one is a follower on that platform or not, one can easily still reach her by a mention or a direct message. But, of course, there is no assurance she would reply.

Last we checked, she doesn’t have a website and her personal contact details, including phone number and email, are not available.
