The idea of journalism as an unappreciative profession is common. On a daily basis, journalists work to educate the public, hold elected officials responsible, and give voice to the citizens.
SABC journalist Nomvuyo Ntanjana walked away with a Community Service Reporting Award at the Sekunjalo Journalism Award on Saturday.
Ntanjana gained recognition for her story of Tatum de Pearce, a 32-year-old who has been helping her small rural community of Kroonstad with her soup kitchen.
