At 27 years of age, this young Equatoguinean born in Malabo makes his debut on the emblematic Canal Sur programme, marking a milestone in its almost 28-year history. With a degree in Journalism and previous experience in Equatorial Guinea’s public television, Donato has arrived at “Andalucía Directo” with an infectious energy and a story of self-improvement.
His first report took him to a golf course, and his second, to discover the tradition of the mantilla in Granada on the eve of Easter. Beyond his coverage, Donato represents a symbol of integration, diversity and talent.
Raised in a humble neighbourhood by a single mother, to whom he dedicates all his appreciation, Donato carries with him the spirit of his roots: ‘Wherever I am, my neighbourhood will always be with me’.
Although he shares a name with the famous writer Donato Ndongo-Bidyogo, they are not related, but he does consider him one of his great inspirations.
Today, Donato charts his own path, with humility, professionalism and a smile that is already part of the face of Andalusian television.
