The award was for Best Television Feature in the Western Region. Her programme was up against other popular programmes such as Carte Blanche and other thought provoking documentaries from other television networks. The Cape of Wars was aired on SABC3 in August 2012.

In this two-part programme, Special Assignment provided an analysis of the situation in Lavender Hill, the gangs involved and the uneasy truce being brokered by former gangsters-turned-peacemakers. The programme also looked at the efforts by the city and the province to protect a community under siege.

The documentary was filmed by SABC News cameraman, Marc Mullenberg and freelance cameraman, Adil Cooke, who share the award.
