Mondi Shanduka – 2007 Category Winners

It was my second week on the hard news desk as a cadet reporter in The Witness newsroom when the “Blue- Light ” story broke. My beats included crime, social and general news. I also initiated a series on local achievers allowing me to explore the world of feature writing. My passion for print news was born in school where I was the Editor of the publication. During my university career I wrote for The Witness Hi-Five in the capacity of a young adult columnist, including several young adult book reviews. I am currently an English and Comunication/ Media Skills lecturer based in KwaZulu- Natal.
