House Chair, on behalf of the ANC, I moved without notice:
That the House -
1) notes that Dispatch Newspaper's journalists Malibongwe Dayimani and Mamela Ndamase won four Eastern Cape Regional Vodacom Journalism awards on 29 October 2019;
2) acknowledges that Dayimani, the Dispatch's crime reporter, won three awards for his financial and economics series of articles involving a syndicate of ATM scammers who operated in the Eastern Cape last year; and through his work, the suspects were apprehended;
3) further acknowledges that Ndamase won the politics award after exposing a councillor and her husband who sold houses that did not belong to them to residents; and
4) congratulates both journalists for their outstanding work and hopes that they will continue to produce hard-hitting investigative content in the interest of fighting corruption and crime.
Agreed to.
