Mustafa Marghadi is concluding his role as a correspondent for the NOS, having previously reported from Italy and Southeast Asia. Based in Jakarta, he discusses his experiences in a recent episode of the podcast "De Dag," reflecting on his career and personal journey. Marghadi shares memories of his childhood in Lutjewinkel, Netherlands, and how he became involved in journalism. He highlights the challenges of feeling like an outsider in Italy, contrasting that with the sense of belonging he found in Indonesia, where he felt accepted as “one of us.” Having spent 35 years navigating life as a minority, he describes the constant need to defy stereotypes. The podcast also features cultural recommendations and answers questions from listeners, and is available on NPO Luister and other podcast apps.
