CNN MultiChoice African Journalist of the Year Awards 2010, Uganda
By Tara Turkington // June 01, 2010
Last week, I travelled to Uganda for the first time, courtesy of MultiChoice Africa, to conduct media training for their country managers.
We were there over the weekend, and were privileged to be guests at the CNN MultiChoice African Journalist of the Year Awards, held at the luxurious Kampala Serena Hotel on Saturday, May 29.
The who’s who of African journalism were at the awards, which attracted more than 2 000 entries from 42 countries. We were very proud when a South African, e.tv’s Sam Rogers, won the overall award, African Journalist of the Year, for her TV piece on albinos in Tanzania who are literally hunted for their skin. In her acceptance speech, Rogers said that more than 50 albinos have been murdered in Tanzania in the past year, most of them by people seeking their body parts for muti. Hopefully, Rogers’ award will help to highlight and halt this horrific practice.
