20 Questions with Yeshiel Panchia

Get a sneak peek into the life of this former photographer turned Business Maverick journalist. 

Tropic of Cancer by Henry Miller, and more recently anything by Ursula le Guin.

 

Almost as tough a choice as the books. Of all time, so far, is Valhalla Rising, and recently A Place Beyond the Pines.

 

Definitely Twin Peaks and Hannibal.

 Twitter unfortunately, but I refuse to call it X.

 Glock has a factory that produces horse by-products…

 

The first time I ever rode a motorcycle.

 

Window, but after a whiskey – I am terrified of flying.

 

I’d love to experience a reality very different from mine.

Joining Daily Maverick.

 

I’m not really sure. I would think that I often get mistaken for a different ethnicity.

 

I can’t imagine myself doing anything else at the moment, but if not journalism, something that involves due diligence and forensics.

 

Tenacious, empathetic, workaholic.

 

Be kind. Everyone has their own journey and it’s the simplest way to make the world a better place.

 

Patrice Lumumba.

 

The same as it has been for a long time: cigarettes, unfortunately.
