Mahnaz Angury
Mahnaz Angury (born c. 1998)[1] is an Afghan-born Australian journalist. She now works for SBS after having commenced her career as a television reporter for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation in Sydney.
Early life[edit]
Angury was born in Jaghuri, Ghazni, Afghanistan. Her family were members of the persecuted minority Hazara community. Her father, Hafizullah, fled Afghanistan by boat in 1998, before Mahnaz was born, because his advocacy on behalf of the Hazaras had put him in danger from the ruling Taliban. After spending seven months in a detention centre, Hafizullah was eventually granted asylum in Australia. In 2004, he sponsored his wife and three children (Mahnaz and an older brother and sister) to join him in Australia.[1] Arriving in Sydney at the age of six, Mahnaz entered school in Grade 2 with only basic English.[2]
Angury completed her Higher School Certificate at Sefton High School.[3] While in high school, she did work experience at Dolly magazine.[2] She went on to achieve a Bachelor of Media in 2018[4] and a Master of Journalism and Communication in 2019,[5] both from the University of New South Wales.
Career[edit]
Angury's early roles included writing for Dolly, GQ, Fashion Industry Broadcast and the Daily Mail, and working as an interpreter for NAATI.[6] While working as an interpreter at Manus Island, she secured an internship at the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.[2]
In 2019, Angury joined the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), initially as a news producer, and then as a reporter for ABC Riverina and ABC News, based in Sydney.[7] She is currently a cross-platform reporter for SBS.[8]
In 2022, Angury appeared as a guest on The Cook Up with Adam Liaw.[9]
