Amin Hafeez is TV news gold

Amin Hafeez is back in news. This time for a report on the donkey trade in Pakistan. Hafeez is known for his unusual piece-to-cameras. In his latest dispatch, he signs off while sitting on a donkey who’s eager to have him off his back.

At Newslaundry, Hafeez has often caught our attention for his truly inimitable style. In 2016, the Geo News Urdu anchor posted a report on his Facebook page, where he interviews a buffalo and even manages to derive an answer.

The report is about the genteel cattle of Lahore that uses a footbridge to cross roads unlike the city’s men. Hafeez laments how these men, who refuse to learn from animals, put their lives in jeopardy. Watch it and we don’t mean it for the laughs. But to learn how a little irreverence can go a long way in making a point that otherwise no one would bother paying attention to.
