Biographical history
Sue Cullinan was born in South Africa in 1956. She worked as a journalist and researcher in South Africa until 1985. In 1985 she went to Namibia to help launch the Namibian newspaper in Windhoek, Namibia. The newspaper was launched with the intent to be: "an independent newspaper committed to independence for Namibia. The newspaper will follow an independent editorial policy and will strive to achieve a greater flow of information and open debate...". While in Namibia, Sue Cullinan also pursued research for a Master's degree on the South West African People's Organisation (SWAPO). This was based partially on primary interviews with people involved in the organisation. Her studies were broken abruptly (and not completed) when her fiancé was expelled from South Africa in 1987 by the government of PW Botha. Sue Cullinan lived in a number of cities in Africa and Europe and continued to work as journalist.
