said Sol Plaatje Institute (SPI) director Francis Mdlongwa.<\/p>\n<p>SPI is a pioneering institute set up in 2002 at South Africa&#8217;s Rhodes University and runs a postgraduate course in media management and leadership and a range of short-term accredited professional courses for practising media managers.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Mdlongwa said the SPI felt honoured by Mr Gitahi&#8217;s acceptance to lead the board at a time of sweeping change for the media across the world because of the advent and impact of digital media platforms such as the Internet, social media and mobile phones.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He brings an immense wealth of experience of successfully managing media and other top companies, of managing change in uncertain times,&#8221;
