About Clyde Adams
Clyde Adams is a journalist of Son, a weekly newspaper. He has been part of the Son-team for just over three years and completed two internships within Media24 over the past five years. Over the past few years, he has been a mouthpiece for many people who have experienced hardships in life and also told the stories of those who have been a shining example about how to rise from the ashes. He has been a vivid writer since high school and always knew he wanted to go into a career that involves writing and telling stories. Being a journalist in Cape Town, he often writes more about the lows than the highs of Capetonians and considers the work he does as an important part of society.
Besides writing about other people’s pain and sometimes pleasure, he enjoys hanging out with friends and camping with family and friends on the West Coast has been an activity enjoyed since childhood.
