Micah Reddy, a South African journalist who worked for amaBhungane from 2017 to 2023, is currently missing in Djibouti. His local fixer, Kooki Mahmoud, is also unaccounted for. Both were last seen around noon on Saturday. According to Sam Sole, amaBhungane's managing partner, Reddy was focused on an investigation unrelated to Djibouti or its government.
The Committee to Protect Journalists expressed deep concern over the missing journalists' whereabouts and urged authorities to clarify their situation and ensure their safety. Reddy's career includes exposing mismanagement at trade union NUMSA and businessman Zunaid Moti, as well as serving as the national coordinator for media freedom and diversity at the Right2Know Campaign.
He holds a master's degree in African studies from Oxford University and a bachelor's degree in history from Wits University.
