The South African National Editors Forum (Sanef) says despite the devastating impact of COVID-19 on the media industry in the past two years, South Africa has been able to produce good and quality journalism.

This emerged at the Standard Bank Sikuvile Journalism Awards ceremony held in Johannesburg last night. The event was held to celebrate excellence in journalism.

Ngalwa says another challenge facing media practitioners is mental health issues and they have now partnered with the SA Depression and Anxiety Group to help struggling journalists.”We take it for granted that we are built tough. You go to a story, you experience a traumatic experience, you laugh about it, you smoke, and you forget about it. But the reality is that we live through that. Today, we reflected that as newsrooms. We are not equipped to deal with trauma.

He says the award is the result of hard work.”The Digital Vibes expose and the fallout from the expose and the political repercussions for somebody like former Minister Zweli Mkhize really highlights the impact of this kind of work. It makes me happy to recognise the fact that we live in the country where the public appreciates this kind of journalism and our work still have the impact and we have the freedom to do this kind of work which is very important.

One of the two awards is for a photograph he took of an asylum seeker bathing in an open tent in Bellville in the Western Cape.”It is still shocking because the situation has still not changed and for them not to have toilets and stuff like that, and showers to be taken away from them was really something inhumane to say . I was sent there just to tell what was happening and as I got there the guys were busy showering you know.

What ?

Ufishi ubole ekhanda kanti kulento yezindaba

No journalism In SA unfortunately. It's dead.

Stop fooling people

A little bit of 'good and quality journalism', a lot of rubbish too.

Sanef is not telling the truth, quality journalism is dead,I even stopped buying newspapers or read online news,the biasness in the journalism is disappointing, journalists are political parties proxies, they are told which story to cover& in what way, they are no longer media

Kak

They've managed to produce what? What a joke.....

Sies

Another CODESA instrument

Good quality journalism 🙄... Dream on.. These Factional biased Journalists... Come on! This tweet is a Joke!

Being mouthpiece of BBC,CNN,ALJASEER in recycling their propaganda is not QUALITY JOURNALISM but mediocrity.U don't have war correspondents in Ukraine,u daily feed south Africans lies by prowestern media.Brown envelopes not QUALITY JOURNALISM.

They've managed to produce more and more ThumaMinaMediaGroup journalists

Paid journalism of course that is what you meant.

SANEF is unethical.

Mxm we don't have journalist in this country, we have Ramaphosa's PR

Non whatsoever 'good junalism 'this sellouts will need be touched

That's nonsense. In most times, all I read is the media pushing propaganda

Sbu Ngalwana and his crew are as tone deaf as they're principals 🤦🏿

Fusek

Not true

Mnxmmmmm

Journalism was dead and buried when Ramaphosa came into power there was no longer objective reporting

What's good with your Propaganda machinery, White monopoly Capital media, anti black media

Let the sanef die 🤞🙏do you know how many life affected by falls lairs because of this news roomsome lost political career,jobs , relationship 🙈💔💔 please God destroy anything lays on lairs amen 🙏

Biase and unreliable journalist

No more media outlets in SA but PR agencies. They're not credible.

Voetsek!!!!

Captured media, bribes first priority.

Good and quality journalism Oh no I'm not in a mood to laugh😕

Lol a referee and a player. I think numbers do not lie. To give a good rating on your journalism,👀 at the ff: news viewers droppd, newspaper readings droppd, online viewers droppd etc. More online alternatives re coming . Numbers don't lie. The alleged 'good and quality' dropped

Lies
