Dario de Melo
Journalist and Writer
An Angolan, born in Benguela, Darío de Melo was a teacher, school inspector, radio broadcaster (as radio journalists used to say), manager agro-livestock, editor at the Instituto Nacional do Livro e do Disco, official at the Ministry of Information, columnist and writer. As they say: a little bit of everything and possibly none of anything.
He makes the following balance of his life (he was also a bookkeeper):
like more than 80 years old, although he is disgusted, he is old. As he has no money, although he regrets it, he is poor. Without fixed employment, is currently technically unemployed.
Which by the way is very well done, because as the saying goes: moving stone doesn't get moss.
“And the wall, apart from the dirt of the moss, gets what?”
As a journalist, he has dispersed jobs and was director of Voz do Bié (1972) Tveja - a television magazine founded by Rui Carvalho (1983) of the daily Jornal de Angola (1991) of Correio da Semana, a weekly he founded with Manuel Dionísio (1992) and do Jango, which he took over as director after the murder in Huambo of its founders: David Bernardino, Fernando Marcelino and Miete de Melo Marcelino (1992).
He is a member of UEA, Union of Angolan Writers and of UJA, Union of Angolan Journalists.
