While at UCLA, he was active in Alpha Kappa Psi, a business fraternity, and worked as a host and correspondent for the ReelzChannel cable network.

Global Journalism with CNN International

Thanks to an impressive early résumé, Errol was recruited by CNN International as an anchor and correspondent based in Johannesburg, South Africa. There, he covered several landmark events including the deteriorating health and subsequent death of former South African President Nelson Mandela, as well as Oscar Pistorius's high-profile murder trial, labor strikes in the mining sector, and the 50th anniversary of the African Union.

Errol also hosted CNN's documentary-style program "Inside Africa," which took him to countries such as Senegal, Madagascar, Morocco, and Ethiopia, where he showcased the continent’s cultural richness. His work was recognized in GQ South Africa for its journalistic excellence.
