Sunday Independent editor Moshoeshoe Monare has resigned, the company's CEO Tony Howard said today.

Monare tendered his resignation on Tuesday and would be leaving Independent Newspapers at the end of this month, he said in a statement.

Howard said he was happy that Monare's decision to leave the company had been handled in a positive way.

He said it was regrettable that Monare was leaving at a critical time when the group was embarking on a new growth strategy.

“Monare would have played a large part in the growth strategy for The Sunday Independent as well as other initiatives and strategies,” he said.

Howard said the company was disappointed but wished him well. He did not give reasons for the resignation.

Monare replaced Makhudu Sefara as editor of the newspaper two years ago.

In the statement, Monare was quoted as saying: “The past ten years have provided me with enormous professional opportunities and personal growth. It was a decade well spent, and a privilege to have worked with outstanding and extraordinary men and women of Independent Newspapers.” - Sapa
