Special Assignment wins international human rights award
At the Lorenzo Natali awards held in Stockholm, Sweden last week, SABC Special Assignment executive producer Johann Abrahams and investigator Godknows Nare won the Special Prize Television. Their winning entry was the documentary, Hell Hole, which exposed the horrors of Zimbabwean prisons which aired on Special Assignment early this year.
The global Lorenzo Natali Prize rewards journalists committed to human rights, democracy and development. Originally reserved for the printed and online press, the prize was opened in 2008 to radio and television journalists. This year it received more than a thousand entries.
Created in 1992 by the European Commission to promote dedicated journalism of the highest quality, it was named after Lorenzo Natali for his dedication to his work as former vice-president of the European Commission, in charge of cooperation and development between 1985 and 1989.
The awards were presented on Thursday, 22 October 2009.
