My colleagues in the SA Editors’ Forum honoured me this past weekend with the Nat Nakasa Award for courageous journalism, in balmy Durban. A lifetime achievement award, it is great to be recognised in this way. Trick is to ensure I keep up working in unusual places; as at just 46, I would hate to think of this as my swansong!
SAfm invited me to chat with Sydney Baloyi last night about it, and it was such a good conversation, I decided to put it up on the blog. The best part is that my Luc, my four and a half year old, stayed awake to listen, even though the hour was late (by his standards). His little sister faded earlier. She believed I was in the garden shed outside. Luc kept trying to get my attention by calling to the radio as he sat wrapped up in a blanket next to it, “Daddy! Daddy!” Now I am not sure that he fully understands that magic box yet, but he is certainly the audience I am proudest of!
It was a long chat, so settle back and relax and you can download it HERE
