"EWN is a small team that punches above its weight. That’s down to the dedication and hard work of everyone in our national team," says Katy Katopodis, Eyewitness News group editor-in-chief.
"EWN’s Cape Town reporters are committed to delivering relevant news to their audiences and giving a voice to communities in a balanced and engaging way. Passion drives us more than awards do, but the recognition is wonderful and much appreciated," adds Charlotte Kilbane, Eyewitness News Cape Town news editor.
