ity Press Journalists Dewald van Rensburg and Sipho Masondo were named Sikuvile\u2019s Journalists of the Year for their stories on VBS, which also won them the South African Story of the Year, at the Standard Bank Sikuvile Journalism Awards on Thursday evening. The event, held at The Venue, Melrose Arch in Johannesburg, was a celebration of pure truth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the future relying on the virtues of the traditional newsroom, and what award-winning journalists do, that is \ufb01nd things out, verify the facts and publish the best available version of the truth, these journalists and their story did exactly that! \u201cThere were a number of media houses that wrote on the VBS scandal, but the winners of the South African Story of the Year, journalists Dewald van Rensburg and Sipho Masondo, were the ones that broke the story and stayed with it,\u201d says Convening Judge, Mathatha Tsedu. \u201cTheir contribution to the coverage of the saga was also never challenged and, unlike others who came into the story later, they never had to backtrack,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike last year, when one major story dominated the headlines, he says, this year there was a variety of stories in the running for the title of South African Story of the Year. \u201cA lot of discussion took place around these during the judging period,\u201d he states. \u201cIn general, all the categories have good entries, expect for sports photography where no award was given.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rosetta Msimango was named Upcoming\/Rising star of the Year and the Allan Kirkland Soga Lifetime Achiever Award was awarded to Robin Comley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the category winners were rewarded with R15 000, a trophy and a certi\ufb01cate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Frewin, McCall and, Joel Mervis Awards winners were also announced at the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Frewin Award, which recognises urban daily newspapers with a circulation above 40 000, went to Beeld, while Pretoria News was awarded the McCall Award, which honours urban daily newspapers with a circulation of 40 000 or less. The Joel Mervis Award recognises urban weekly newspapers irrespective of their circulation and a joint award went to City Press.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
