OFM journos awarded at regional Vodacom Journalist of the Year

Two members of OFM's news desk - Josca Human and Olebogeng Motse - were recently acknowledged for their work at the Vodacom Journalist of the Year regional awards. Human was awarded in the breaking news/live reporting category for her coverage of the derailed Shosoloza Meyl between Henneman and Kroonstad, while Motse took home the Young Journalist Award.

The Young Journalist Award is focused on furthering the career of a dynamic young South African journalist; Olebogeng will now go on to a further round, competing against the Young Journalist award recipients in other regions for the national award. The breaking news/live reporting category awards journalists who can think on their feet, often reporting in danger or at disaster scenes, without technical support or a carefully crafted script.
