He was posted to Zambia in 1975 as the agency’s Central Africa correspondent, spending long periods in Angola as it descended into post-colonial civil war. In an international scoop he discovered and revealed exclusively South Africa’s covert 1975-76 invasion of Angola at the behest of Western powers. He was also the Brussels-based Europe correspondent for 'The Scotsman' and later that newspaper’s London-based diplomatic correspondent. He joined the 'Sunday Telegraph' of London in 1989 as its southern Africa correspondent. Bridgland is a graduate of Scotland’s St Andrews University. He lives in Edinburgh.view less
