In November 2009, I was given the International Federation of the Red Cross Good News award for humanitarian reporting in Africa. It was awarded to me for a feature article I wrote for the Mail & Guardian, called 'Gardening for Life'.
The best thing about the award is the prize: A working trip to Malawi early next year, to report about a food security and a gender-based violence programme.
